Selections from the Kolodzei Art Foundation Collection of Russian and Eastern European Art.

Curated by Natalia Kolodzei

The Chelsea Art Museum – Home of the Miotte Foundation - is proud to bring together two seminal collections of Russian art.

The Kolodzei Collection, founded by Tatiana Kolodzei in Moscow during the height of the Cold War and continued today with her daughter, Natalia, is one of world’s largest private collections of Russian and Eastern European Art, with over 7,000 pieces by more than 300 artists from Russia and the former Soviet Union, chronicling four decades of nonconformist art from the post-Stalinist era to the present. The Kolodzei Collection is a living, open entity, which continues to grow, and reflect changes in culture, while reacting to the variable nature of contemporary art.

The exhibition Moscow-New York=Parallel Play: Selections from the Kolodzei Art Foundation Collection of Russian and Eastern European Art was first shown at the National Centre for Contemporary Arts (NCCA) in Moscow in 2007. The exhibition highlights the artistic axis of the two cities, representing Russian artists living or working in these two art capitals and creating with their art an international context and distinctive intellectual plastic Russian "rhyme" in the international art community.

The works reflect the major current of Russian alternative culture and describe the history of independent, or “non-conformist,” art processes and movements from the 1960s to the present.

Artists in the exhibition include: Vagrich Bakhchanyan, Petr Belenok, Eric Bulatov, Ivan Chuikov, Rimma Gerlovina and Valeriy Gerlovin, Francisco Infante, Ilya Kabakov, Vyacheslav Koleichuk, Vitaly Komar and Alex Melamid, Dmitri Krasnopevtsev, Leonid Lamm, Ernst Neizvestny, Vladimir Nemukhin, Dmitri Plavinsky, Oscar Rabin, Leonid Sokov, Eduard Shteinberg, Oleg Vassiliev, and Vladimir Yankilevsky, as well as artists of the younger generation.
