CCPS Exhibition. Modernist Glass from the Polish Past
On loan from the Endi Poskovic and Julie Anne Visco private collection
The glass in this rare collection represents the work of renowned Polish glass artists and designers created between 1960 and 1980. Known as Polskie szkło artystyczne (Polish art glass), the works were produced in glass factories in southern Poland and are a feature of many homes throughout Central Europe. The glass masters were trained in schools of art and design and many achieved international fame during their lifetimes.
The collectors, Endi Poskovic and his wife Julie Anne Visco, began acquiring the glass in 2015-16 while Endi was a Fulbright Scholar and Visiting Professor at the Jan Matejko Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków. Scouring flea markets, antique shops, and websites, they continue to acquire pieces and build the collection to this day. We are grateful to them for making this remarkable exhibit possible at CCPS and WCEE.
Organized by the Copernicus Center for Polish Studies, this exhibition is co-sponsored by the Penny W. Stamps School of Art & Design and Weiser Center for Europe and Eurasia.

The exhibit opens on September 15, 2023 in 1010 Weiser Hall, 500 Church Street, Ann Arbor. Contact copernicus@umich.edu to schedule a viewing.
