Anna Ostoya works across painting, collage, and photomontage, and at times extends to text and objects. She is known for geometrically fractured paintings, textured collages, and photomontages composed from look-alike found images.

Born in Kraków in 1978, she has lived in New York since 2008. Ostoya attended the Whitney Independent Study Program in New York, the Städelschule in Frankfurt/M, and Parsons School of Art and Design in Paris. Her book collaborations include Polish Rider (MACK, 2018), with Ben Lerner, and Politics and Passions (MACK, 2021), with Chantal Mouffe.

Her work has been exhibited at Kunsthaus Baselland (2019); Zachęta National Gallery, Warsaw (2017, solo); Tate St Ives (2015); the Lyon Biennial (2015); La Kunsthalle Mulhouse (2013, solo); the Museum of Modern Art, New York (2013); CCS Kronika, Bytom (2010, solo); The Power Plant, Toronto (2011); Lisson Gallery, London (2009); and Manifesta 7, Rovereto (2008), among others.

Her work is held in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Defares Collection; the Dutch National Bank Collection; the RISD Museum; the Gaby and Wilhelm Schürmann Foundation; the de la Cruz Collection; Zachęta National Gallery; and the European Central Bank.

“Ostoya’s work … maintains a live connection with those histories that determine the grammar of the present …”
