Viktor Pivovarov: Moscow Gothic

The exhibition shows the full range of Pivovarov’s prolific career: from his early Surrealist paintings, created as part of the underground art scene in Moscow in the 1970s; to the more conceptual canvases and albums of drawings made after his relocation to Prague in 1982; and featuring the premiere of captivating new works. Dedicated areas explore key series, often on a witty, whimsical or philosophical theme, with video and audio elements that further immerse the audience in Pivovarov’s characterful world. This exhibition is also a rare opportunity to see some of Pivovarov’s most significant paintings, exclusively on loan from major Russian museums.
