Magda Abakanowicz's 'The Unrecognised'

  Park Cytadela ,   Winogrady         05 Jul 2024

Unveiled as part of Poznań’s 750th birthday celebrations in 2002, this massive troop of towering, headless cast iron figures marching aimlessly across Citadel Park is officially titled “The Unrecognised” ("Nierozpoznani"). 112 in all, each measuring 2 metres tall, the odd installation is the work of local arts grad and international art star Magdalena Abakanowicz, who is keeping mum on its meaning. Those with ties to Chicago might recognise a similar installation in Grant Park, while a few more of Abakanowicz's headless fright patrol can be found wandering along the southwest side of Rondo Kaponiera near the Bałtyk skyscraper.
