The project introduces viewers to a unique private collection of Russian art from the early 20th century, long inaccessible to the public. For the first time, the collection is presented in its entirety, preserving its integrity over the century and including masterpieces by the greatest artists of the era. The Kunin family collection is one of the last "closed" collections of St. Petersburg, formed between 1918 and 1922. In a short time, Yakov and Alexandra Kunin created a unique selection of works by their contemporaries, including masters of the "World of Art" union. It includes paintings and graphics by Alexander Benois, Konstantin Somov, Zinaida Serebriakova, Nikolai Roerich, Viktor Borisov-Musatov, and others. The project presents the collection in its entirety for the first time - over 200 works, many of which were previously shown only fragmentarily. Special attention is given to rare theatrical sketches by Benois, a self-portrait by Serebriakova, and the only painting by Borisov-Musatov in the collection. The exhibition allows visitors to see how collectors' tastes reflected the spirit of the time, and how their connections with artists and gallery owners shaped the artistic environment of post-revolutionary Petrograd. Visiting the exhibition is by sessions only! Find other exhibitions in St. Petersburg on KUDAGO.
