Polish poster art exhibit at Vandalia tower

Minnesota residents Brian and Teresa McMahon assembled a collection of Polish art in the 1980s while living in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, N.Y. They also got to know and work with others who had emigrated from Poland to escape the economic and political turmoil in their homeland. The McMahons acquired original work from a number of these artists and purchased over 400 Polish posters. Images of all 400 posters will soon be posted online at www.cliffordplacecollection.com. In addition, about 25 posters and a small sample of original paintings and watercolors will be on display in St. Paul at Vandalia Tower, a recently renovated industrial complex in St. Paul, at Vandalia Street and University Avenue. The exhibit will be held in Suite 234 throughout June on Thursdays through Sundays.
