The exhibition is timed to the centenary of the artist’s birth and covers all stages of his artistic path – from the early pieces of the 1950s to the works of the 2000s. The exposition comprises over 70 works of various genres: painting, graphics as well as rare examples of applied decorative arts including limited-edition porcelain. A special place is taken up by the artist’s sculptural experiments: wooden geometric constructions and memorial compositions dedicated to contemporaries reveal his search in the field of form and space.

Some archive materials will be displayed for the first time: personal documents, photos, letters, which allow understanding Nemukhin’s inner world better and tracing the evolution of his artwork.

Vladimir Nemukhin cooperated with the Tretyakov Gallery for more than 20 years helping set up its collection of “unofficial” Russian art. In 2006, together with the Government of Moscow, he handed over to the Gallery the works of his friends Oscar Rabin, Anatoly Zverev, Oleg Tselkov and other legendary artists of the Sixties.

An important part of the exhibition will be 12 works from this handover exhibited together for the first time.
