Anda Rottenberg (born on 23 April 1944) is a Polish art historian, art critic, writer, former director of the Zachęta National Gallery of Art in Warsaw and member of the International Association of Art Critics AICA, International "Manifesta" Foundation and the International "Germinations" Foundation.
In 1933, again, his painting “Before Rain” won him a bronze medal in Zacheta National Gallery of Art exhibition called “Incentive”.
Tomczak made the headlines in Poland in 2000, when, together with fellow Polish Agreement member Halina Nowina-Konopka, he damaged a sculpture by Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan on display in the National Gallery of Art Zachęta in Warsaw.
In December 2000 the Polish right-wing politician Witold Tomczak damaged Maurizio Cattelan's sculpture La Nona Ora and prompted the dismissal of then director Anda Rottenberg.

Both the fall of the Berlin Wall and the fall of the Iron Curtain changed political circumstances fundamentally and also affected the structure of the central bureau.
He has shown at such venues as Grounds for Sculpture, Hudson Valley Center for Contemporary Art, Real Art Ways, the New Britain Museum of American Art, Black & White Gallery, Five Myles, Stamford Museum, Galerie fur Landschaftskunst (Hamburg, Germany), Galeria Sztuki Wspolczesnej (Opole, Poland), and Zacheta (Warsaw, Poland).
There he made his first famous works: Roman Inn and Morra Game, which Gierymski brought to Warsaw in the beginning of 1875 and exhibited at Zachęta Gallery.
