On the 100th anniversary of the " Black Square " Auction House "Kabinet" put up for auction on November 13th 2013. the book with the first incarnation of the famous image of Malevich

Among the more than 400 rare books auction " Old and rare books, prints , photographs ," House "Kabinet " will present a unique edition of "Victory over the Sun ", which was first portrayed Kazimir Malevich "Black Square" .

In 2013, you can celebrate the official centenary movement Suprematism and "Black Square" by Kazimir Malevich. Hoaxer Malevich wrote his first "Black Square" in 1915 , and dated it to the 13th year , considering that this was when he was born Suprematism . In fact , the image of the black square appeared for the first time while working on the opera "Victory Over the Sun" and the eponymous book * - in 1913 . Book Kruchenykh and Velimir Khlebnikov "Victory Over the Sun . Kruchenykh opera , music by M. Matyushina " came in 1000 copies . St. Petersburg Publishing Association " Light" in 1913 . Covers are made from drawings by Malevich and D. Burliuk .

"Victory over the Sun " - a futuristic opera and Michael Matyushina Kruchenykh built entirely on the literary , musical and scenic illogical , was an example of joint work of poets and artists, the synthesis of the arts - poetry, music and form, and is considered to be the manifesto of the software Russian Futurism. The opera tells the story of how a group of " budetliane " went to conquer the sun. The authors of " Victory over the Sun " praised the idea of ​​building a new future , which can only be built after the destruction of the old. And each of them accomplished this by means of its own : twisted , when writing the libretto, was guided by his poetic concept of " unintelligible language" , the music was Matyushina chromatic and dissonant , and design - a caricature that exaggerates features of a character . Work on the production served as the impetus for the birth of Suprematism. Malevich, in the preparation of scenery and costumes, thinking about what to obscure the sun in the final, and decided that would be the best black box - like plastic expression of human creativity victory active over passive form of nature: a black square instead of the solar cycle . So there was a famous image that influenced the development of art in the XX century.

In 1913, the opera was staged in St. Petersburg. Malevich's contribution to this performance is perhaps the main advantage of the artistic performance , through which he entered the history of culture. In 1920, the opera was staged again , this time in Vitebsk.

Offer is estimated at 150-250 thousand rubles, but , according to the co-owners of the auction house "Kabinet" Constantine Zhuromskaya and Ksenia Tsann -kai -si , the relatively low amount for trade will certainly increase . Any book on Russian avant-garde , there is a huge demand . As an example, one of the lead organizers of the legendary books of Russian Futurism : Alex twisted " Obesity roses. About Terentyeva verses and others " (1918 ), the price at which the previous second-hand auction" Cabinet "in September 2013. rose more than 7 times , and at the start of 180 thousand rubles. , was sold for 1 million 300 thousand rubles .
