Breaking the Ice: Moscow Art, 1960-80s

Interesting exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery looking at the art which came out of the Moscow underground from about 1960 to 1990.

I would have liked more explanation with these works as my Russian history was not good enough to put the works in context. Also I didn’t understand some of the section heading such an analytical art. I think this would have helped me appreciate the works more.

I liked the super real large paintings near the end by Vitaly Komar and Alexander Lemamid such as the Stalin in front of a mirror. Also the works by Illya Kabakov with rosettes of the colours used in the picture stuck on to them.
