Why are Polish artists not bought en masse abroad?

Poles have never been interested in art, and the nobility hung tapestries on the walls for insulation, not decoration. Homes were filled with handicrafts: sabers, weapons, goblets, not art. We were not a nation fascinated by painting and we do not have these traditions,” says Rafał Kamecki in an interview with Robert Mazurek. .

Who is the most expensive Polish painter today?

Among the living, Piotr Uklański and other artists from the generation that debuted after 1989 and work abroad.

In Poland, his painting went for PLN 290,000 a year ago.

For his work, it's a bargain.
