March 2026

We are deeply moved to announce that, after a year-long process, photographs from Zofia Rydet’s series Sociological Record have been officially acquired by the collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York.
This marks one of the most significant moments in the international recognition of the artist’s work and an important milestone in the global presence of Polish photography. The inclusion of these works in the MoMA collection confirms the exceptional importance of Sociological Record as one of the most important documentary projects of the 20th century.
