THE EXHIBITION:

The exhibition is a sensitive survey and re-presentation of Abstract Expressionist masterpieces alongside the work of lesser-known artists and those working outside of the United States. In addition, the exhibition will feature work by subsequent generations of artists producing abstract works in a variety of media. The exhibition will allow audiences to engage with works by Pollock, de Kooning, and Rothko, never before exhibited in Russia, and will introduce them to prominent international contemporary artists – an unprecedented and comprehensive selection of abstract art from the 1940's to the present.

Our inaugural exhibition included works by artists such as Courbet, Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, Sisley, Chagall and Picasso among others.
