EXHIBITIONS / Past Exhibitions (1999 - 2003)


        The Gallery opened with the exhibition entitled “Another Kind of Art”, which represented works by artists of the 1960s (M.Brusilovsky, I.Vulokh, B.Zhutovsky, A.Zverev, Ernst Neizvestnyi, L.Kropivnitski and others), who, along with many others, made the history of 20th-century Russian art.
        In April 1999, the Gallery organized an exhibition of more than forty graphic works, produced in the 1950s-60s by world-famous masters of Japanese fine art – the husband and wife Maruki Tosiko and Maruki Iri. They gained worldwide recognition thanks to more than six hundred highly successful exhibitions in many countries around the globe. In 1953 their most significant works were awarded a Gold Medal of the World Peace Council.
After that the Gallery held several exhibitions of popular young artists, such as the painter Sergei Naumov, the sculptors Marat Vergasov and Ravil Yusupov (The Other Side Of the Earth), painter Vadim Meshchaninov (Tete-A-Tete).
        The Gallery celebrated the Millennium by launching an exclusive long-term project entitled Masters Of The Past Century. The project opened in February 2000, with Boris Zhutovsky’s one-man show 40 Years of the Craft. In June 2002, it continued with the exhibition entitled The Names. Its participants were A.Vlasenko, V.Volovich, I.Vulokh, V.Grishchenko, B.Zhutovsky, A.Zverev, A.Kazantsev, B.Karafelov, A.Kozlov, N.Konysheva, B.Leonidov, Y.Mirakov, S.Miroshnichenko, E.Neizvestnyi, D.Plavinski, M.Romadin, I.Snegur, V.Soldatkin, Y.Somov, Y.Sooster, K.Soshinskaya, – all of them artists who had made their names in the second half of the 20th century, and who have been appreciated by art collectors and connoisseurs of today.
        In December 2000, the Gallery cooperated with the Pushkin Square Publishing House in organizing a unique charity exhibition, From People to People, at the Butyrka Jail. It displayed pictures by Boris Zhutovsky, Yury Mirakov, and Vladimir Soldatkin, and photographs by Yury Rost and Vladimir Mishukov. The name of the exhibition reflected the idea behind it, while the subjects of the works on the display answered its ‘therapeutic’ purpose – to remind to the prisoners of “Butyrka” of the world beyond its walls.
        The cooperation with the Pushkin Square Publishing House continued with the Painting and Singing exhibition, held at the Tchaikovsky Concert Hall in February 2001.
        In April 2001, the Gallery presented a one-man show of Yury Mirakov, introducing his new works, painted, in a single breath, in the spring of 2001. The exhibition was called The Spring of a New Age.
        December 2002 saw the opening of Boris Zhutovsky’s personal exhibition entitled As a Single Day and timed for the artist’s seventieth birthday. It featured his previously unexhibited works produced in the 1950s-60s and his major composition As a Single Day. The display also included photos made at the legendary exhibition in honour of the 30th Anniversary of the Moscow Artists’ Union held in 1962 at the Manege. That event gained notoriety as a consequence of the visit paid to it by Nikita Khrushchev. Those works by Zhutovsky that had been exhibited at the Manege back in 1962, were now displayed again, forty years later.
In 2003 the Gallery showed an exhibition entitled From Abstract Art to Realism. The idea behind it was to present art works by ten artists representing different styles and creative conceptions (L.Bartenev, V.Grishchenko, B.Zhutovsky, A.Zverev, Y.Mirakov, Y.Mironov, S.Naumov, Y.Somov, R.Safiullin, V.Yaroslavtsev).
