Works by artists from Latin America, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, and Eastern Europe will be displayed at the New York Jewish Museum in the exhibition Other Primary Structures. Many of them have rarely been seen before in the United States.
The first part of the exhibition, entitled Others 1, is on view from March 14 – May 18, 2014, and examines work created between 1960 and 1967. The second part, Others 2, runs May 25 – August 3, and presents work created between 1967 and 1970, some of which was directly influenced by the 1966 Primary Structures exhibition at the Jewish Museum. Other Primary Structures is intended to revisit the 1966 exhibition which later became known as the first official exhibition of Minimal art.
Two works by Edward Krasiński will be the part of the exhibition Others 1. These works were recently discovered in his family home and are being shown in the U.S. for the first time.

Edward Krasiński's work is to appear worldwide in 2014. He is to feature at the 31st edition of the São Paulo Biennial, one of the most prestigious art events in South America.
His works will also continue their world tour at the group show Play What's Not There at London's Raven Row.
Krasiński is not the only Polish artist to be appreciated abroad in 2014 – from Turkey to Sydney, Polish artists set are to invade the global art scene.
