The artist was the author of many acclaimed sculptures, innovative jewellery, and a painter fascinated by the Vistula Marshland.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Until 22 May 2023, the temporary exhibition features dozens of pieces by the goldsmith and amber artist, mainly jewellery, small art forms and paintings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8216;Dad loved Vistula Pomerania and only here did he feel fully free&#8217;, says archaeologist Eryk Popkiewicz, curator of the exhibition and son of the protagonist. &#8220;He saw the Baltic Sea for the first time as a five-year-old, when he came with his parents from Leszno Wielkopolskie to Mikoszewo. It was love at first sight. He also manifested this by taking an interest in the history and archaeology of \u017bu\u0142awy. Around 1970 he discovered a prehistoric amber workshop site in Nied\u017awiedzi\u00f3wka and got the scientific community interested in it&#8221;, adds Eryk Popkiewicz.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In 1972, Harald Popkiewicz set up his own amber workshop. He begins to design and create his own ideas of jewellery by combining amber with copper, alpaca, then silver.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A breakthrough came in 1974, when he won 1st prize for his &#8220;sunflower&#8221; ring in a competition organised in Gda\u0144sk by Cepelia (Art-Region) for &#8220;Small forms and jewellery combined with amber&#8221;. In the mid-1990s, in addition to jewellery made of silver and amber, he began creating sculptures.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Harald Popkiewicz&#8217;s jewellery and other spatial forms are in the museum collections of the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C. (USA), Gintaro Galerija in Nida and Vilnius (Lithuania), Deutsches Bernsteinmuseum in Ribnitz-Damgarten (Germany), Horsens and Hobro (Denmark), Amber Museum in Kaliningrad (Russia), Amber Museum in Gda\u0144sk, Castle Museum in Malbork, Amber Museum in Vilnius (Lithuania), Amber Museum in Riga (Latvia), Amber Museum in Krak\u00f3w and Amber Museum in Ko\u0142obrzeg.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Adrian Andrzejewski<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Amber Museum, a branch of the Gda\u0144sk Museum, is hosting a temporary exhibition of the work of Harald Popkiewicz.
