A TLS Book of the Year 2017 In this, the first anthology of Russian
contemporary art writing to be published outside Russia, many of
the country's most prominent contemporary artists, writers,
philosophers, curators and historians come together to examine the
region's contemporary art, culture and and theory. With
contributions from Ilya and Emilia Kabakov, Boris Groys, Dmitri
Prigov, Anton Vidokle, Keti Chukhrov, Oxana Timofeeva, Pavel
Pepperstein, Arseny Zhilyaev and Masha Sumnina amongst many others,
this definitive collection reveals a compelling portrait of a
vibrant and complex culture: one built on a contradicting dialectic
between the material and the ideal, and battling its own histories
and ideologies.
Ilya Kabakov (*1933) is one of the former Soviet Union's most
important and influential international artists today. After the
two-volume catalogue raisonne of paintings (2008) and 2017's
catalogue raisonne of installations, we are now publishing a
complete overview of Kabakov's recent paintings. Different ideas,
phases, and styles unfold across the 350 works of art, but the
artist's inimitable signature can always be recognised. Visual
themes include, for example, the colour white, the relationship
between complete and incomplete, and the combination of either
various styles or of painting and photography. Still, all of the
pieces have one thing in common: they all pursue a conceptual
approach and make references to art history.
