Fangor's M 58 sells for record high price

M 58, an oil painting by Wojciech Fangor has been sold for PLN 923,000 at Thursday's auction, thus it became the artist's highest value artwork in Poland. The painting comes from the American period of Fangor's career that culminated in an individual exhibition at the Guggenheim Museum in New York in 1970.  The name derives from New York's Madison, where the artist had his workshop, as he would title his paintings with the first letter of the name of a place in which they were created. The painting has been a part of Richarda Artschwager's collection for many years. Roman Opałka's Detal 2890944-2910059 remains the most expensive painting on the Polish auction market. It was sold for PLN 2.01 mln in 2014.
