In the meantime, what sort of a separate exhibition. In the Tretyakov Gallery, and so much of the avant-garde side - it Costacis. And not only Suprematist and abstract.

Have you ever noticed that ominous in its joie de vivre of Lenin "Uprising" Clement Red'ko - it is a gift Costacis? Infernal "troika" ("The court of the people") Solomon Nikritin - also Costacis. In addition to Popova, Chashnik and Malevich, meeting Costacis exposure due to the presence of works Guro von Jawlensky, Filonov, etc. One only Tretyakov Costacis presented about 800 papers. Despite the fact that his icons are gone in Rublev museum, folk art - the museum Tsaritsyno, a part of the avant-garde of the sixties, and he took to Greece. Costacis died in 1990. Costacis collecting avant-garde in the period 1946 to 1977 (he emigrated in 1978). That is, for him things 1920s and 1930s were almost contemporary art, but forbidden, persecuted, unsafe. Such is the enormous project, a huge collection of largely spared the whole epoch in Russian art. Collector name has become a legend, he is known throughout the world as a great visionary and ascetic. Even without any registered funds of the same name and museums. It is not often that happens.
