Edward Krasiński (1925-2004)
Studied at the Krakow State School of Applied Arts (during WWII).
Studied at the Academy of Fine Arts, Krakow (1945-1950) under Wladyslaw Jarocki and Eugene Eibisch.
Polish sculptor and painter, associated with avant-garde trends. Since 1970, his trademark was blue adhesive tape at a height of 130cm.
Shared a studio in Warsaw with Henry Stazewski. Foksal Gallery in Warsaw has repeatedly presented his work (15 solo exhibitions). Krasiński was a protagonist of Poland's neo-avant-garde.
When the artworks for his exhibition at the 1970 Tokyo Biennial did not arrive, he sent the word “BLUE” 5000 times by telex, and exhibited this text on the long paper strip. The original plan for the exhibit has been reproduced, most notably at MoMA.
One of my favorite all-time Polish artists, my left arm bears a blue stripe tattoo as homage.
