2018 Annual Art Auction at the Polish Consulate

2018 Annual Art Auction at the Polish Consulate
"Art Auction” - the annual auction of paintings - took place on Saturday, 16 June 2018 at 5:00pm at the Polish Consulate General in New York.


This year’s Art Auction took place on June 16, 2018 at the Polish Consulate General in Manhattan. The gathered guests were greeted by Vice Consul Mrs. Alicja Tunk. The Vice Consul Mateusz Gmura was also present at the event. The auction was conducted by Mieczyslaw Mietko Rudek. This year, 44 paintings of famous Polish artists were exhibited, including works from Poland and 8 patriotic prints. Among the guests were artists, who for years supported the activities of the foundation: Janusz Skowron, Zbigniew Sokolowski, Bogdan Kujawski, Ewa Zeller, Magda Zawadzka and for the first time Maria Natoli. Mrs. Mariola Olbinska donated a few art pieces similarly as in the previous years, among them a painting by Skorupko "Winter" and several works by Andrzej Dudzinski. The highest price was achieved by the painting by a well-known European artist Felix Topolski titled "Bristol".  The World-famous artist, Joanna Sarapata graciously donated her painting “Act” which was also auctioned off. Painter Rafal Ekwinski, who created art for many years in New York, currently lives near Warsaw, sent two pastels on paper, which were acquired by the artist's admirers.

This Art Auction also featured artwork of Rafal Olbinski. He is a famous painter whose art achieved World-wide recognition. His posters and other art have been also presented at our auctions in the past years. This time, thanks to the generous donations, we were also able to auction off this acclaimed artist’s work.

The well-known Polish artist Janusz Skowron, who has been supporting our Foundation for years, has once again donated his paintings to the auction along with paintings of his son, Artur Skowron. As an additional gift for the highest bidder, Janusz Skowron included a second picture, which painted the same morning.

Thanks to the hospitality and commitment of the Consulate staff, to the guests who joined us that afternoon at the Consulate and of course the artists who donated their work, the auction turned out to be a great success. The collected funds in the amount of over $ 9,300.00 are intended for continuing our mission of helping children in need. A significant part of the funds went to children from Orphanages and Social Centers in Poland, who also sent their artworks and paintings.
