Published by the Krupa Art Foundation, the catalogue accompanies the exhibition “Wojciech Fangor. American Dream”. The publication not only contains reproductions of the objects presented at the exhibition, but also brings closer the archives related to the dream of going to the USA and its realisation by Wojciech Fangor. Curator Dorota Monkiewicz has annotated these materials with the article “Why I want to go to [the] USA? Wojciech Fangor’s biography in the light of archival materials”.

Part of the catalogue is dedicated to literature. Krupa Art Foundation invited the International Storytelling Festival to collaborate, so the catalogue includes short stories inspired by the op-art master’s work written by: Olga Drenda, Joanna Oparek, Jakub Kornhauser, Bianca Rolando and Mateusz Górniak, as well as an essay by Agnieszka Wolny-Hamkało.
