The Polish-born Alicja Werbachowska was inspired by the work of ZERO artists like Jan Schoonhoven. Her restrained, abstract work (both works on paper and editioned Artistst books) are in many public collections in the Netherlands and abroad. These include Museum Meermanno- Westreenianum (The Hague), Teylers Museum (Haarlem), the Bibliothèque Nationale (Paris), the Victoria and Albert Museum (London), the Museum für angewandte Kunst and the Universitätsbibliothek (Vienna), the Bayerische Staatsbibliothek (Munich), the Sackner Archive of Concrete and Visual Poetry (Miami Beach, Florida), and the New York Public Library. In 2006 the Museum of Modern Art (New York) purchased several of her works.
