We would like to draw your attention to an interesting article by one of the speakers at our last workshop, Oleg Tarasov.
The online article “Icons and the avant-garde” centers on the Costakis art collection of Russian avant-garde art and icons. Tarasov discusses the collection’s unique position during the Soviet period. It is a wonderful addition to the talks of our last workshop.
Enjoy reading it!

Since 2018 the Russian Art & Culture Group has its own logo which you may see here and there on our website. Some participants of the workshops already guessed that this logo – which was created by our member Ludmila Piters-Hofmann – includes some recognizable elements.
