In May 1953, the Alexander Iolas Gallery in New York mounted an exhibition of recent work by the Chilean Surrealist Roberto Matta. Titled Rome, 1949-1953, the show presented seventeen abstract paintings created after the artist’s relocation from the United States to Italy. This display, drawn entirely from the Menil’s permanent holdings, reunites a group of paintings from the 1953 exhibition.

Galerie Gmurzynska is honored to be part of the Amsterdam Sculpture Biennial ARTZUID 2023 and to present Karel Appel's vibrant masterpiece, "Head on a Chair." Taking place from 20 May – 24 September, the 8th edition of ARTZUID is curated by Jasper Krabbé.

This exhibition confronts the ceramic works of Wifredo Lam, who championed several of the day’s avant-garde movements (Cubism, CoBrA, Surrealism), with pieces from the Chinese collection of the museum. Curated by Nicolas Trembley, this project was produced as part of the Asia NOW 2022 exhibitions, with the support of SDO Wifredo Lam and Galerie Gmurzynska. A fully illustrated catalog accompanies the exhibition.
