Printmaker\, photographer\, sculptor\, bookmaker\, performer — none of these definitions truly capture AP as an artist. A graduate of SUNY Buffalo State University and Yale University’s School of Art\, AP’s artwork is in over 50 institutional collections\, including the Vatican Library\, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, and the Library of Congress. \nThough many of AP’s professional accomplishments extend far beyond Buffalo\, he is a product of this city. AP was born into the insular Polish communities of Buffalo in the mid-twentieth century. When he finally ventured beyond his neighborhood\, the expansive cultural experiences available to him in Buffalo helped shape the artist he was to become. Using oral histories\, digitized materials from Buffalo’s cultural institutions\, and the artist’s own work\, the Library’s Special Collections Department has woven the disparate pieces of AP’s career to show an artist formed in a specific place and moment\, working outside established channels to create a world for himself. \nThe exhibit AP Gorny: Different from the Rest will showcase artist books recently acquired by the Library’s Rare Book Department in close cooperation with AP\, as well as never-before-seen archival documentation and video footage made available through the digitization efforts of the Grosvenor Room. \nSee https://www.buffalolib.org/locations-hours/central-downtown-buffalo for hours. \nOpening reception at Central Library on January 29\, 2026 from 5:30 pm–8:00 pm. Light refreshments will be provided; the curator and artist will be present to talk about the exhibit.

Printmaker\, photographer\, sculptor\, bookmaker\, performer — none of these definitions truly capture AP as an artist. A graduate of SUNY Buffalo State University and Yale University’s School of Art\, AP’s artwork is in over 50 institutional collections\, including the Vatican Library\, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum\, and the Library of Congress. \nThough many of AP’s professional accomplishments extend far beyond Buffalo\, he is a product of this city. AP was born into the insular Polish communities of Buffalo in the mid-twentieth century. When he finally ventured beyond his neighborhood\, the expansive cultural experiences available to him in Buffalo helped shape the artist he was to become. Using oral histories\, digitized materials from Buffalo’s cultural institutions\, and the artist’s own work\, the Library’s Special Collections Department has woven the disparate pieces of AP’s career to show an artist formed in a specific place and moment\, working outside established channels to create a world for himself. \nThe exhibit AP Gorny: Different from the Rest will showcase artist books recently acquired by the Library’s Rare Book Department in close cooperation with AP\, as well as never-before-seen archival documentation and video footage made available through the digitization efforts of the Grosvenor Room. \nSee https://www.buffalolib.org/locations-hours/central-downtown-buffalo for hours. \nOpening reception at Central Library on January 29\, 2026 from 5:30 pm–8:00 pm.
