Agnieszka Osiecka Monument in Warsaw, Bronze bench monument in Saska Kępa, Warsaw, Poland.
The Agnieszka Osiecka Monument is a life-sized bronze statue on Francuska Street in the Saska Kępa neighborhood of Warsaw, showing the poet and lyricist seated at a table. A chair beside the figure is left open so that visitors can sit down and join her.
The monument was put up in 2007, about ten years after Agnieszka Osiecka died in 1997. It was built on the initiative of people from the neighborhood where she spent much of her life.
The figure shows Agnieszka Osiecka the way many people remember her: seated, thoughtful, open to conversation. Visitors often sit beside her, leave flowers on the table, or simply stop for a moment.
The monument stands at the corner of Francuska and Obrońców Streets and is easy to spot from the pavement. It is freely accessible at any time and fits well into a short walk through the Saska Kępa area.
The Cafe Maska right next to the monument was one of the places where Agnieszka Osiecka met with other artists during her life. The choice of this exact spot was not random: it ties the memorial directly to where she actually spent her time.
