Collections research

As an independent scholar, I provide collections-focused research in Central and Eastern European modern and contemporary art. I have extensive experience working from institutional and gallery records—including pre-1989 documentation—to reconstruct exhibition histories and substantiate provenance. My work also includes support with artist and object essays and dossiers (literature, exhibitions, collections, bibliographies, critical reception) and collection-shaping guidance aligned with historical context and thematic coherence.

Projects

Past collections projects have involved works by Wojciech Fangor, Magdalena Abakanowicz, Alina Szapocznikow, Maryan (Pinchas Burstein), Jankel Adler, Henryk Stażewski, Toyen, Julian Stanczak, and Maja Ruznic.

No brokerage or appraisal services; artist names are provided to indicate art historical scope and do not disclose specific holdings; collections research work is offered in a personal scholarly capacity and is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, any institutions with which I am or have been associated.
