Economic growth supports the art market in Warsaw

The Warsaw art market is expanding rapidly, driven by Poland's strong economic growth (3.6% GDP in 2025). Two new art fairs have emerged: Art Warsaw (May 21–24), organized by Joanna Witek-Lipka and Michał Kaczyński, and the Hotel Warszawa Art Fair (September), organized by four galleries. These join the established Warsaw Gallery Weekend, now in its 15th year. The fairs cater to a growing collector base increasingly seeking international artists, while still featuring Polish talent. Notable participants include Ada gallery from Rome, Coulisse Gallery from Stockholm, and 52 galleries total, with booth fees ranging from €1,000 to €4,000. The venue, Villa Róż, a 19th-century palace with layered historical features, adds to the fair's appeal.
