how long (and who specifically purchased) hanging in the Tretyakov Gallery Malevichevskie squares?

"Black Square" by Kazimir Malevich - one of the most famous works of Russian art of the past century. First "Black Square" was written in 1915 and became a turning point in the development of Russian avant-garde.
Black square on a white background became known, the basic element of the art system of Suprematism, a step in the new art. The artist has created several versions of "Black Square". All four Squares painted by Malevich from 1915 to early 1930 - is the development of one theme. They differ not only in sequence and year of creation, but also the color, design and texture. To the Black Square, Malevich turned back each time when he should have been assertive and significant present his work, often in connection with the most important exhibitions. However he never copied the "always created a new version.
For the first time showed Malevich "Black Square" (now in the Tretyakov Gallery in Moscow) at the Last Futurist Exhibition 0,10 in 1915 in Petrograd. For the first time a black square, the sun appeared in the 1913 scenery designs for the Futurist opera "Victory over the Sun.
The second "Black Square" was written about 1923, with the participation of Kazimir Malevich's closest disciples - Anna Leporskii, Konstantin Rozhdestvensky and Nicholas Suyetin - for a triptych, which also included Cross and Circle "(now the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg) . Part of the triptych the square as a primary form, no longer unique. The triptych was the embodiment of great importance to Malevich idea of collective work, therefore not so important, who exactly the idea was realized.
Some believe that the third "Black Square" (Tretyakov Gallery) was painted in 1929 for the exhibition of Malevich at the request of the then deputy director of the gallery of Alexey Fedorov-Davydov, due to the poor condition of the 1915 Square is the most "hollow" densely covered with black paint, the most "hopeless" square. He also differs from the first, how much has changed life and work of Malevich in the past years.
Important to Malevich theme of red and black, probably, the emergence of yet another "Black Square" - the smallest (and probably last). Perhaps it was written by a pair of red, but slightly smaller, and perhaps - for the exhibition "Artists of the RSFSR XV Years", held in Leningrad in 1932 and became the last major speech of Russian avant-garde. Two squares - black and red - were the center of Malevich's exhibition. If this "black box" closed the loop, then symbolically, at the new circuit is already tired of fighting the disease and the artist once again repeated his "victory over the Sun. The last square, despite the author's inscription on the back "1913", is usually dated abroad 1920 1930, since there are no traces of its earlier existence. It was one of the few paintings by Malevich, who after his death were not transferred to the artist's heirs to the Russian Museum and remained in the family. According to legend, it was carried to Malevich's coffin on the day of the funeral. After the artist's widow, Natalya Andreevny Manchenko, the latest version of "Black Square" along with "Self-Portrait" and "Portrait of the Wife Malevich turned to her relatives, and then sold them to Incombank.
After the 1998 crisis, this collection except for "Black Square" was offered for sale. The Ministry of Culture of Russia used its privilege to acquire state property in this precious work of art. Thanks to the generosity of the President of the holding company Interros, Vladimir Potanin, who gave necessary to purchase "Black Square" the amount received on canvas State Hermitage storage.
