Barbara Falkowska and Zofia Malanowska

Cute Hall had the pleasure of visiting Warsaw last week--to see friends and to look at some art. These two women are both distinguished artists who walk the border territory between the textile and painting disciplines. Barbara Falkowska will have a solo exhibition of her work in Warsaw opening March 1 at the Union of Polish Artists Building (Galeri DAP) on Mazowiecka (near Swietokrsyska metro stop). Her work is singular in Poland and the world. She is well-known in both Poland and abroad. I had the honour of meeting her and studying with her at Haystack in Maine in 1984. The Warsaw show will be a kind of retrospective and is not to be missed if you are in Poland in March. Mrs. Malanowska began her art career in earnest at the age of 70. Now, 91, she is producing some of the most original, unique work I have ever seen. More on it later.
