Stallone in the Russian Museum.

[Konstantin]

Sylvester Stallone is also an artist . Or maybe the opposite - also an actor ?
So what , you might ask me , why not? Enough of such cases when famous people are taking up the brush.
Yes, true, but not all of them fall with exhibitions in major museums around the world , and Stallone got . On these days flashed the news :

" In the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg will host the exhibition of paintings by well-known Hollywood actor Sylvester Stallone. Announcement of the exhibition appeared on the official website of the museum . The report said that the exhibition will open on 27 October and will run until November 27. Works will be exhibited in the Mikhailovsky the castle.
The actor writes in the styles of impressionism and expressionism . He himself had earlier admitted that he likes to paint more than acting.
Painting S. Stallone started to get involved while studying at college in Switzerland. In the same country in 2011 and held the first exhibition of his work. Then in St. Moritz was exhibited about 30 paintings Stallone . "

Cool? What does this mean ? It Stallone rose to the level of the leading Russian Museum or the Museum rose to the level of Stallone ? In my opinion both options are bad, do not have anything against Stallone artist and especially Stallone , Rambo and even an exhibition at the event would have gone , but on the winery or garage . And in Russian ... very bad deal in St. Petersburg with attendance since it came to such PR activities ?
But to me, as always , is interesting and is another aspect - how much are the pictures? Rolled up his sleeves and went to the net, and found the same prices
30 000 - 50 000 $ .
Buy it? I do not know ... Due to the artistic quality - hardly. Since there is no sales at auction , it is anyone's guess you need it to someone other than himself , and Stallone Russian Museum.

After I posted this message on Facebook are , started a discussion about the fact that this is not so bad . If the exhibition will attract the attention of the public, and along with the rest look - and that's supposedly good.
I do not know , I do not know ...
Any exhibition in the museums of this level is a sign of quality for the artist , and it is necessary to consider it at an angle . But attracting visitors not somehow what, and world-class exhibitions . Then the interest and culture will be the winner.

It's not bad for sure.
How well - the question for discussion.

But not bad.

You can, of looking at these works Stallone, recall, for example, pictures of a famous actor, too, but our - George Bogatyreva and compare.

In fact, this is very bad ... to say the least ! It is not the picture Stallone and curatorial work of the Russian Museum .

totally agree!

The main thing it does not make a rule , and as an exception - maybe not a bad marketing /PR move for the belt , as a public institution trying to increase its target audience. It is difficult to argue with the fact that this exhibition will attract a new contingent of visitors ( including youth) through the famous Hollywood actor . In this case, the result justifies the means . It is possible that the event is beneficial from a financial point of view, and can serve as a stimulus to attract corporate sponsorship for the museum.

I have already written a solo exhibition do not remember what Moscow artist at MOMA San Francisco. Great estate, whether it's the artist ? I do not know . Humiliated if MOMA ? No, of course , on the contrary , showed that the museum nezakosnel and boldly seeks and discovers new names and faces . Let Russian museum comes to life and gives them life, let them be controversial exhibition and the more the better. And then they stopped all the Tretyakov Gallery with a thick layer of naphthalene ...

And this is a controversial exhibition ?
Let's say yes (although what is there to argue do not know) , but questionable in what sense? In that work , some interesting or innovative in the fact that the author of a famous actor ? Probably the second , and he might as well be a hero or a museum anglers counted cross . I agree that for the museum counted cross - Stallone authors have great success , but for the Russian - alas.

Searching the internet and it seems that Russian Museum - the first museum where Stallone got to the exhibition.

Well, at least something first.
