The bronze pictured above was done in 1920 by Wojciech Przedwojewski and shows Paderewski just after he resigned from the government and was contemplating returning to the concert stage. We are considering how we may be able to use this image for our poster for the Tenth Festival in 2023. The antiquarian bookshop “Antykwariat Galeria Atticus” in Warsaw–which is offering this plaque for sale and has given us permission to picture it here–is located just outside the main gate to Warsaw University and across the street from the Chopin apartment museum. The bookshop has a number of bronzes–mainly of Chopin–of interest to our Festival.
