Rafał Olbiński
„Culture- Privilege for All”

material: bronze and artificial stone
dimensions: 60,5 x 33 x 34 cm
date: 2023

Rafał Olbiński's sculpture "Culture – Privilege of All" is a contemporary sculpture combining classical and contemporary symbolism. It references the icon of ancient art, the Venus de Milo, reminding us of the universal value of beauty and culture as humanity's heritage. At the same time, the sculpture is associated with Maurizio Cattelan's provocative work with a banana, which critiques the contemporary art market and its paradoxes. This work was inspired by Olbiński's much earlier poster from 1982, created for UNESCO, promoting the idea of universal access to culture, consistent with the principles of the Mondiacult conference. "Culture – Privilege of All," in the form of a sculpture, becomes a reflection on the contemporary status of culture – heritage that is accessible, yet also subject to commercialization and reinterpretation in the era of globalization. Rafał Olbiński's sculpture is offered by the Katarzyna Napiórkowska Art Gallery.
