ABSTRACT
The Foksal Gallery was certainly one of the few cultural institutions in Poland that could develop contacts with international partners in Socialist times. Thanks to its backing in the art community, mainly from Tadeusz Kantor and Ryszard Stanisławski, the gallery entered the international art scene during the late 1960s and early 1970s. This article will focus on two stages of its international experiences: Foksal’s participation in the “3e Salon international de ‘Galeries-pilotes’” in Lausanne (1970) and, a few years later, its attendance at the Edinburgh Festival (1972 and 1979).
