This significant art catalog was published in conjunction with a major 1990 exhibition organized by the Columbus Museum of Art, documenting the evolution of Soviet art during a transformative twenty-five-year period. Edited by Norma Roberts and featuring an introduction by noted art historian John E. Bowlt, the volume explores the works of non-conformist and underground artists who challenged official state-sanctioned styles in Moscow and Leningrad. It is a vital reference for collectors of Russian contemporary art, containing numerous high-quality color plates and biographical sketches of artists like Anatoli Nikich. This large-format softcover is in very good condition, showing only light surface wear and minor toning to the white cover, with the internal pages remaining clean, bright, and securely bound.
