KRAKOW—Fifty works from the collection of Polish-born, Cologne-based art dealer Rafael Jablonka will go on view this month at the National Museum in Krakow, the Art Newspaper reports. The works will be housed in a new department devoted to contemporary Western art, the first of its kind in Poland, according to the museum.

Jablonka has loaned the works for 18 months starting May 29, but told the Art Newspaper that he hopes to add to the collection over the new few years and lend it permanently to the museum. Nobuyoshi Araki, Francesco Clemente, David LaChapelle, and Sherrie Levine are among the ten postmodern artists represented in the group. Each artist's works will be displayed in a separate gallery.
