Alexander Kosolapov is one of the most remarkable "go-betweeners"
of contemporary art, a nomadic presence across ideologies and
cultures and a hero of Russian Conceptualism alongside Ilya
Kabakov, Boris Mikhailov and Dmitri Prigov. In 1973, he cofounded
the Sots-Art movement, which satirically conflated Soviet and
American capitalist iconographies; in 1975 he relocated to New
York, remaining there for 30 years and immersing himself in the
American art scene. Dovetailing Russian political art with American
Pop, Kosolapov created such well-known images as the "Lenin Coca
Cola" (1985), "Malevich Marlborough" and "Lenin McDonald's." In his
most recent works, Kosolapov proposes new, nonexistent brands for
post-Soviet Russia. This substantial survey appraises the entirety
of his career to date.
