Joanna Fiema-Kurek

She supports the foundation by combining legal expertise with a humanistic perspective grounded in business experience. A qualified attorney and legal counsel, she graduated from the Jagiellonian University in Kraków. After years of legal practice, she chose to pursue her long-standing passion for art and completed a BA in Art History at the University of Warsaw. There, she immersed herself in the work of avant-garde masters and came to see art as a powerful reflection of social transformation. She continues to deepen her engagement with the arts through a range of projects dedicated to making art more accessible to wider audiences. She believes that combining legal expertise with an understanding of art allows for a more nuanced interpretation of creative work and provides meaningful support to cultural institutions in their mission.

Art Modern Foundation

At the centre of foundation interest are modernist artists active between 1900 and 1970, in particular artists from the circle of the Ecole de Paris: Elie Nadelman, Mela Muter, Leopold Gottlieb, Józef Hecht, Henryk Hayden, Louis Marcoussis, Henryk Berlewi, Jankiel Adler, Hel Enri.

Many of them were born and educated in Warsaw's intellectual environment. They were outstanding figures whose works received critical acclaim in Paris while being often overlooked in their homeland for historical and political reasons.
