Galeria Autorska Jana Kaji i Jacka Solińskiego was established in Bydgoszcz, Poland on June 16, 1979, as one of the first private galleries in Poland. The gallery was founded by painter Jan Kaja and graphic artist Jacek Soliński, both originally from Bydgoszcz. Together the two also issued a number of fine art monographs, aside from their own artistic output and various exhibitions held at the gallery. Kaja and Soliński described the gallery as "extra-institutional, independent, open, constantly searching and evolving." They showed works across various genres and fields including fine art, photography, conceptual art, poetry, literature, theater, and philosophy. Over the years, the gallery has put on over 800 exhibitions, installations, performances, concerts, and other events, with over 250 publications from the internal publishing house.

Included here are two small booklets issued by Galeria Autorska in 1980. Numbered 18 and 21, respectively, they both are in regards to Polish artist Bogdan "Anastazy" Wiśniewski, also from Bydgoszcz. Wiśniewski worked in the fields of conceptual art, visual poetry, artist's books, and mail art. The first title is "Anastazy B. Wiśniewski, Wystawa Pokaz. Tradycja, Terazniejszosc, Przyszlosc - Galeria Autorska, 21.VI - 11.VII.80". The second is "Anastazy B. Wiśniewski - Zeznania kontestatora."
