Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in New York
Jan Karski Corner in Midtown Manhattan on Madison Av/37th Street
This event is recommended by the Polish Cultural Institute New York.
NYC public can visit newly opened exhibition of Hollywood blockbuster posters painted by the artists of globally-praised Polish School of Posters. Martin Scorsese once wrote on them: I own quite a few myself. They can seem odd to non-Polish viewers. Sometimes you look at them and wonder: what bearing does this image have on this picture? And then you see that there’s a rare place for cinema in the culture itself, because the relationship between the films and their posters is so unique.
Artworks of the most significant authors, e.g. Jan Mlodozeniec, Waldemar Swierzy and Andrzej Pagowski, including the most iconic movies like Terminator or Platoon are presented in public space on the fence of the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in New York, the Jan Karski Corner in Midtown Manhattan (Madison Av/37th Street).
