Before his untimely death at 75, Beksiński had begun to plan his stateside debut to show his work in New York City. This is an effort to continue his legacy and introduce new audiences to his genius. A beacon for artconnoisseurs worldwide and home to countless galleries of small and legendary repute, an exhibit in New York would be a monumental gesture in preserving his vision. In order for this to become a reality sufficient interest must be proven for planning to begin. As Beksiński is not yet a household name this petition will serve as another tool to get his work more exposure.
I have spent the last few nights rewatching interviews with him and feeling the weight of how much he wanted his art to reach a wider world. The stories you are sharing about how his work haunts and inspires you remind me exactly why this matters. I am currently working on reaching out to gallery curators to show them that his vision truly belongs in a space as vibrant as New York City.

Seeing this level of enthusiasm for Beksiński makes me feel like his long-overdue New York debut could actually happen. I have spent years staring at his haunting canvases alone and now it feels like I am finally showing them to the world.

Though I do plan on seeing his permanent exhibit in Poland one of these days, in the mean time, if there could be an exhibit of his I think New York City would be the place for it. Thank you.

PLEASE bring his paintings here. seeing them on a screen just isnt the same as seeing them in person.
