And what is interesting Ukrainian art?
M. Gelman: "Moscow has been the official and unofficial art. Informal - a modernist, formal - socialist realists. They lived together, they clashed aesthetically and personally. All of our contemporary Russian art has grown from an informal branch, which was closer to international and branch official Art has withered away. In the Ukraine, if you trace the biographies of all the interesting artists today, we see that their parents were the official artists. There were no contradictions, modernism never been there as a period, and new artists, omitting the modernist period, immediately got into the avant-garde while retaining a love for plastic school southern baroque social realism that flourished in Kiev. For the market is very interesting. "
