Resources
The Lenkiewicz Foundation provides information and materials to support any organisation or institution wishing to use the work of Robert Lenkiewicz to explore the themes which appear in the painter's work.
These materials include the original illustrated notebooks and writings by the artist, the aesthetic notes (works on paper), recommended books, leaflets, posters and an image archive of hi-resolution pictures suitable for publicity materials.

Resources available from TLF
TLF is currently preparing the illustrated Project notebooks for publication online. This resource will be available by subscription only.
Robert Lenkiewicz published pamphlet guides to all his exhibitions, which remain an excellent introduction to the theme & content of each Project. These guides can be viewed on The Lenkiewicz Book Project website here.
TLF's own pamphlets and guides are available by request:
- Guide to the Projects: Retrospective brochure 1997. 420 x 200mm, 10 pages.
- Notes on The Last Judgement Mural. 297 x 210 mm, 12 pages
TLF has an extensive image archive of original works by Robert Lenkiewicz that are available for use in publicity material, educational programmes, etc. The archive is freely available for educational use (subject to fair use guidelines). TLF can also recommend photographic image archives for organizations seeking photographs of the artist, his studios, exhibitions, etc.
Lenkiewicz is the best articulator of his own work and The Lenkiewicz Foundation is making available all his original essays and exhibition notes within its copyright, which can be quoted freely under fair use for educational purposes. An overview of the themes of each Project is also available here. More detailed surveys of the life and work are to be found in the recommended publications which public galleries may request from TLF.
However, TLF aims to work in collaboration with other institutions and can provide information tailored to the specific requirements for any given exhibition. We will happily assist in any way we can with existing educational programmes or suggest suitable events complementary to the work on show. To discuss the range of support materials on offer please contact us at tlf@lenkiewiczfoundation.org
An overview of the subject matter for each Project is available here. The Projects have been divided into 'sociological' and 'relationship' groupings for convenience but it should be noted that the artist viewed all the Projects as part of a single Relationship Series.
