The presence of Anna Baumgart's works in art collections abroad illustrates how legible her critical-feminist language has proved to be. The artist, associated with the Polish critical art of the 1990s, today functions in institutional circuits from Frankfurt to Brussels and France's New Aquitaine.

One of the first important signals of her international recognition was the inclusion of her works in the collection of the Frankfurt Museum of Art in Frankfurt am Main. Culture.co.uk lists this institution among the main foreign depositories of her work, alongside private collections. The German perspective, strongly sensitive to art that analyses historical memory, corresponds well with the themes present in Baumgart's work: structural violence, the role of women in history and the problem of the visibility of victims.

The second major recipient of her work is the French FRAC - Fonds Régional d'Art Contemporain Poitou-Charentes , a public institution building a collection of contemporary art in the New Aquitaine region. The inclusion of her videos and sculptures in the FRAC collection has given her the opportunity to appear on the circuit of travelling exhibitions. Indeed, FRAC regularly lends its collection to shows throughout France and beyond.

A separate dimension is Baumgart's presence in the collections associated with the art market, Hauser & Wirth . This one of the most recognisable global galleries, operating in Zurich, London, New York and Los Angeles, among others, is listed in official materials as the holder of her work. Thus, the artist's work functions in parallel in the institutional and collectors' circuits, which further strengthens her recognition. A similar role is played by the MAAK Collection , identified in Polish and foreign studies as one of the key private collections holding Anna Baumgart's works. Particularly significant is the inclusion of her works in the collection of the European Parliament.

Anna Baumgart was born in 1966 in Wrocław and settled in Warsaw. She is a graduate of the Faculty of Sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Gdańsk (diploma in 1994, workshop of Prof. Franciszek Duszeńka). Her work includes sculpture, installation, video, photography and performance. At the centre of her interests are issues of gender, corporeality, identity politics and collective memory. She co-founded, among others, the group "Tail of the Turtle" and was active within the Bureau of Creative Initiatives, and between 1999 and 2006 she ran the artistic café Café Baumgart at the Centre for Contemporary Art Ujazdowski Castle in Warsaw.
