About artist
(1933 - 2013)
Summary
- She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Kraków (1952–1957), completing her degree under the supervision of Zbigniew Pronaszko. After graduating, she went abroad, where she developed her career intensively. The most fruitful period of her artistic work were the two decades immediately following her studies. By the 1960s, her art had become sufficiently recognized across Europe to earn her major government-funded creative scholarships. At the age of 31, she received an artistic grant from the French Government in Paris, and in 1979 she benefited from a fellowship from the Kosciuszko Foundation in New York. Her career unfolded in an international context, something clearly reflected in her strong presence on foreign art markets. The uniquely symbolic works of Anna Güntner captured the hearts of collectors around the world, and although the artist left behind relatively few pieces - just 150 oil paintings - her name appears in the collections of Poland's most important national museums (in Kraków, Warsaw, Łódź, Poznań, and Szczecin), as well as in the Museum in Stockholm, the Bundy Museum of History and Art in New York, and in private collections across Asia. Güntner developed her own symbolic language, drawing deeply from the pictorial traditions of earlier artistic eras.
