The Smart Museum of Art, University of Chicago, September 29, 2011-January 22, 2012

Upon entering the exhibition Vision and Communism, the viewer is purposefully presented with little information about the Soviet artist and designer Viktor Koretsky (1909- 1998). The almost ninety examples of Koretsky’s work on display make up the largest show featuring this artist in America to date, and include lithographic print posters, mixed-media maquettes, and black-and-white photographs. The exhibition is framed by both its enigmatic title and in the exhibition space itself so that Koretsky’s visually arresting work makes maximum visual impact.

The exhibition at the Museum of Art in Łódź celebrates the 80th anniversary of the International Collection of Modern Art, which was created by members of the Polish constructivist avantgarde: Katarzyna Kobro and Władysław Strzemiński, with the effective help of Jan Brzękowski and Henryk Stażewski, who together constituted the "a.r." (revolutionary artists) group. This historical collection, encompassing a variety of contemporary artists' works ranging from van Doesburg, through Leger, to Arp and Ernst, from cubism to surrealism, was the symbolic beginning of the presently existing Museum.
