The Polish Academy of Sciences Museum of the Earth in Warsaw and the JMS Foundation open the exhibition "Władysław Zych. Glass Heads" on November 13 at 6 p.m. The show, devoted to the painter, ceramist and glass artist Władysław Zych (1900–1964), is held at Bohdan Pniewski's Villa, al. Na Skarpie 20/26, and runs until December 31, 2026.

Zych began experimenting with glass in the late 1950s, inspired by antique objects and the traces of time visible on their surfaces. The highlight of the exhibition is his "Heads" series, expressive, deformed glass portraits of anonymous figures, considered among the most remarkable achievements of Polish glass art.

The exhibition also features decorative and functional glass objects, ceramic designs, mosaics, and materials from the artist's family archive. Its setting adds a special context: Zych collaborated for years with Bohdan Pniewski as an architectural assistant, and the show is presented in Pniewski's villa.

The organizers describe it as the first comprehensive presentation of Zych's work since 1964.
