"Gdynia. 100 Years of Modernity on the Baltic" is a unique auction dedicated to a city that, within just a few decades, became a symbol of ambition, innovation, and the bold vision of the reborn Polish Republic. Marking the 100th anniversary of Gdynia being granted city rights, we present a carefully curated collection of works that trace the birth and development of one of the Baltic Sea’s most important ports and its profound influence on Polish art.

The catalogue brings together paintings, drawings, photographs, prints, sculptures, and examples of design by outstanding artists who, over the course of nearly a century, have shaped the visual narrative of the Polish coast. From the maritime compositions of Marian Mokwa, Soter Jaxa-Małachowski, Stanisław Rolicz, and Henryk Baranowski, through remarkable works by Gustaw Gwozdecki and Jerzy Kossak, to creations by Jerzy Nowosielski, Edward Dwurnik, Tomasz Ciecierski, Włodzimierz Pawlak, Jarosław Modzelewski, Krzysztof M. Bednarski, Henryk Lula, Oskar Zięta, and contemporary artists who continue to reinterpret the phenomenon of Gdynia and its modernist legacy. Together, these works tell the story of the city through its port, modernist architecture, ocean liners, fishermen, sailors, and the rhythms of everyday life by the sea.

More than an opportunity to acquire exceptional works of art, this auction is an invitation to rediscover Gdynia as a place where modernity meets the sea, and where history intertwines with artistic imagination. It is a story of a city built with extraordinary vision, whose spirit continues to inspire generations of artists.

We warmly invite you to take part in this special event, which combines the passion for collecting with the centenary celebrations of one of the most remarkable cities of the twentieth century. Whether you are seeking a museum-quality masterpiece or taking the first steps in building your own collection, "Gdynia. 100 Years of Modernity on the Baltic" offers a rare opportunity to become part of this extraordinary story.
