Life and work

In the years 1988-1993, he studied sculpture at the

His longest-running collaboration is with the Nowolipie Group, an organisation in

Artur Żmijewski
(Winged, 2008).

Althamer was part of the so-called Kowalski Studio at the Warsaw Academy of Fine Arts, along with many of today’s leading generation of Polish artists, including Artur Żmijewski and

non-verbal communication performed by artists in interaction with each other, neutralising individualism: ‘each of the participants had at his/her disposal “a space of their own” […], where they could build elements of their own visual language
, and the “common space” open to everyone, where they could conduct simultaneous dialogues with the other participants. All without using words.’

Althamer's large series of works "The Venetians" was exhibited in the arsenale section of the 2013 Venice Biennale.[3] In 2015, he was awarded the Officer's Cross of the Order of Polonia Restituta for his artistic achievements.[4]

He is represented by Neugerriemschneider, Berlin and Fundacja Galerii Foksal, Warsaw.

New Museum of Contemporary Art, New York,[9] and Helsinki Art Museum.[10]
