16 June – 27 September 2009

In 1790 the last King of Poland commissioned two art dealers, who later became the Founders of Dulwich Picture Gallery, to buy a collection of paintings as Poland’s national collection.  His idea to start a Polish national collection is now the inspiration for a major new work by Antoni Malinowski, the distinguished London-based Polish artist, linking Dulwich Picture Gallery and Warsaw's Royal Castle.

Malinowski’s work is a meditation on light, colour, painting and the enduring significance of ephemeral gestures, and will be both inside and outside the Gallery.

To contrast the old and the new, a group of the most important state portraits of the King of Poland will be on loan from Warsaw.

Tickets: In person at the gallery. Full: £5 / Concessions(unemployed, disabled, students) : £4 / Children: free
