Abstract
Contemporary art collecting in Polish museums cannot boast a long tradition; its true beginnings date back to the interwar period. The concept of collecting artworks devised at that time are best reflected by the avant-garde International Collection of Contemporary Art by the “a.r.” group, as well as the Contemporary Art Centre in Vilnius which is rooted in Polish tradition and politics. The latter tendency influenced the practice of collecting in Poland after 1945. The idea of building a Museum of Contemporary Art cultivated by post-war authorities and artists did not come to fruition, becoming rather a dream of artistic freedom. They were replaced by galleries in already extant artistic museums which, with time, have become more and more specialised. During the first two decades of the Polish People’s Republic several innovative ideas and undertakings were brought up, e.g. gifts from the Krzywe Koło Gallery to museums in Warsaw and Koszalin, as well as Piotr Potworowski’s idea of going “outside the museum”. These laid the ground for contemporary art collecting and its documentation in the 1970s, including by the Centre for Artistic Research in Wrocław, and Gallery 72 in Chełm Lubelski
