The first year of OmenaArt Foundation’s activity marks the first TOP CHARITY Art exhibition.




From May 9 to June 25, 2023, the TOP CHARITY Auction was accompanied by an exhibition held in the Orangery of the Wilanów Palace. Nearly 50,000 visitors saw the exhibition during this period. Thanks to the efforts of the OmenaArt Foundation, one of the most exquisite Spanish sculptures — the renowned Reina Mariana by Manolo Valdés — was brought to Poland. Previously, it had been displayed in prestigious public and private collections around the world, including in Paris, Barcelona, New York and during the Venice Biennale.
The exhibition also featured works by Korean artist Chun Kwang Young, presented in Poland for the first time. Great interest was attracted by the works of Magdalena Abakanowicz, including two outdoor sculptures loaned courtesy of the Centre of Polish Sculpture in Orońsko, and the sculpture Figure with Open Arms. The exhibition also included works from private collections, among them a sculpture by Xawery Wolski. The exhibition design was overseen by distinguished scenographer Boris Kudlička, internationally acclaimed for his spectacular opera productions. The exhibition was curated by Polish art historian Hanna Wróblewska, long-time director of Zachęta — National Gallery of Art, and later Minister of Culture and National Heritage.
