Publication on the First Russian Art Exhibition of 1922 out now

The publication 100 Years On: Revisiting the First Russian Art Exhibition of 1922 is finally published! It is now available as hard cover print and as e-book.

The editors and active members of the Russian Art & Culture Group, professor Isabel Wünsche and Miriam Leimer, are grateful for the generous support by SHERA – the Society of Historians of East European, Eurasian, and Russian Art and Architecture, Inc. – awarding this volume with the Publication Grant 2022.

On almost 300 pages with 180 reproductions of artworks, photographs, and historic documents the compiled volume is focusing on the Berlin First Russian Art Exhibition of 1922. Participants of last year’s International Conference in Berlin and other experts in the field provided intriguing material and new insights.

We definitely agree with the description of the publishing house Böhlau that “the combination of longer, thematic essays and short features, along with reproductions of newly identified works and a selection of unpublished archival materials make this book valuable to both a scholarly and a general readership.”

We highly recommend this intriguing publication and hope that you will enjoy it as much as we do!
