World Press Photo exhibition opens today in Warsaw's Palace of Culture
World Press Photo (WPP), the world's most important review of press photos,
has for ten years been an annual cultural event in Poland. From today, this
year's 190 winning photos will be on show at the Palace of Culture. This
year's WPP exhibition almost did not make it to the capital as, until May
15, nobody knew where it might be held. "Galeria Zacheta, which played host
for the past nine years cannot afford to host the exhibition due to the high
cost of renting the photographs," said Elzbieta Krol, managing director of
EK Pictures, who are responsible for promoting WPP. (Rzeczpospolita, p. A9)
