The Muzeum Susch will open on June 15 with Assembly, the first comprehensive retrospective of the Polish artist Jadwiga Maziarska (1913–2003) to be shown outside her home country of Poland. The exhibition brings together her most important works from her extensive and diverse body of work.

The title Assembly refers to Maziarska’s experimental approach – her explorations in the field of material painting were visionary. Between science, phenomenology, and artistic intuition, Maziarska developed an abstract visual language starting in the 1940s that remains unique in Polish postwar art.
