Krokin Gallery. Whales of the season - 5. Known works by famous authors

[Vladimir]

"Whales of the season" - corporate format Krokin Galleries, summer and universal. Kind of "Swedish table", "Assorted", when you can not attract the concept, but simply to show the strong-human things by famous artists. Artists and their very different - the benefit that can breed highly mismatched things in different rooms.
From personal discoveries - like the vertical non-figurative compositions by Sergei Shutov. The artist has always been fascinated by the study of heritage Russian avant-garde. Therefore logical to assume that familiar with the brand vertical compositions Pavel Mansurov - one of the key figures in the organic direction of Russian avant-garde. By the way, the work Mansurova by the standards of the avant-garde and yet surprisingly accessible: poddlinnye things still appear at auctions and are fully attributable to money - up to 10 thousand dollars digress. Why remembered Mansurova? The style of work Shutov, of course, independent. And while its modern "organic" is also interesting, and that can become a bridge between "old" and "new", that is antique and the modern part of the private meeting. This work includes the Border class and, in my opinion, quite capable of breaking the widespread emotional bias against the antiquities collectors of contemporary art. At least, imagine a neighborhood in one collection Mansurov and fools can easily.
