(Foreword/Translation) 'The National Museum in Warsaw has often had the opportunity to exhibit Polish posters abroad. Highly regarded by art critics and sought after by collectors, Polish posters have garnered significant attention in almost all major centres of contemporary art.

These exhibitions have conveyed the Polish poster as an artistic phenomenon that has existed and evolved for over 80 years. Therefore, I would like to emphasise that this exhibition—prepared for the Berlin University of the Arts—is the most comprehensive presentation of Polish posters abroad, and the accompanying catalog is one of the most detailed works on Polish posters ever published outside of Poland.
