Władysław Hasior worked at a period when the terms of art itself were being renegotiated.
The record lists Władysław Hasior as Polish artist (1928-1999).
Władysław Hasior was born at Nowy Sącz in 1928. His recorded nationality is Poland. He trained at Academy of Fine Arts, Warsaw.
Twentieth-century art was international, heavily theorised and increasingly conceptual, with the market growing alongside it.
He worked as painter and sculptor.
His recorded movement is nouveau réalisme.
His best-known work is Organy - sculpture of Władysław Hasior. An artist's reputation moves with taste, but the work stays exactly where it was left.
Recognition followed: Knight of the Order of Polonia Restituta.
That the work was made in Poland shaped it: artistic traditions, academies and the galleries that decide what is seen have never been evenly distributed.
Władysław Hasior died in 1999, aged 71. The work remains, hanging in collections that outlived both the artist and the market that first priced it.
