  • March 5, 2019 Press Release WINNERS of the 7TH ANNUAL
    March 5, 2019 Press release WINNERS OF THE 7TH ANNUAL THE ART NEWSPAPER RUSSIA AWARD ANNOUNCED On March 1, the 7th Annual Award of The Art Newspaper Russia took place. 2018 winners in categories “Museum of the Year”, “Exhibition of the Year”, “Book of the Year”, “Restoration of the Year” and “Personal Contribution” were announced at the Gostiny Dvor. The annual award of The Art Newspaper Russia is one of the most anticipated events in the art world, an acknowledgment of outstanding achievements in the field. The award highlights the past year's most significant events in Russian art both in Russia and abroad, as well as the work of patrons of the art in developing and preserving cultural heritage. The choice of winners was determined by both public response and the professional community's feedback. The award itself is a sculpture by Russian artist Sergey Shekhovtsov depicting the Big Ben of London and the Spasskaya Tower of the Moscow Kremlin as intersecting clock hands. The Art Newspaper highlights the events that incorporate Russia into the international art scene, promote Russian art abroad and, on the other hand, allow Russians to see and appreciate the art of the world. Inna Bazhenova, publisher and founder of The Art Newspaper Russia Award, the head the Department of Culture of Moscow Alexander Kibovsky and the editor-in-chief of The Art Newspaper Russia Milena Orlova opened the ceremony. This year the jewellery company Mercury became the general partner of The Art Newspaper Russia Award. For Mercury, cooperation with the number one art newspaper was a continuation of the company’s strategy to support the most significant cultural events.

  • Art Market in Russia. Report 2016 Year 2016 Proved That People in Russia Are Really Desperate Art Lovers
    Art Market in Russia. Report 2016 Year 2016 proved that people in Russia are really desperate art lovers. How else would you explain that thousands of them spent hours in the freezing cold queueing to visit museum exhibitions? Russians were so motivated to see Valentin Serov exhibition in Tretyakov Gallery last January that the government had to bring military field kitchens in order not to let them freeze to death standing in line. Later another thousands of art-maniacs were freezing in the cold for hours to see the paintings of Ivan Aivazovsky and Raphael. Governmental statistics show that almost 120 000 000 people visited Russian museums and art galleries in 2016. Overwhelming figure. And it would be logical to assume that such a great number of experienced museum visitors was an indication of a big number of art buyers on the local market. But (spoiler alert!) it wasn’t! At least not in 2016. Overall, 2016 was ineffectual year for the Russian art market. The economic crisis affected the country more than in 2015. The business climate deteriorated. The Russian Ministry of Culture cut almost to zero the real export capa- bilities of the auctions and art galleries. Several well-known professionals of the art market suffered unconvincing lawsuits. Some of them got criminal records for «smuggling» (like dealer Sergey Stepanov) or even were put in prison (as Russian avant-garde books gallerist Anatoly Borovkov). All these cases had bad consequences for weak art market and mood of art business elite. At the same time, 2016 brought some good signs to the local art market.

In this ground-breaking book, Derek B. Scott examines the cultural transfer of operetta from the German stage to Britain and the USA and offers a historical and critical survey of these operettas and their music. In the period 1900–1940, over sixty operettas were produced in the West End, and over seventy on Broadway. A study of these stage works is important for the light they shine on a variety of social topics of the period – from modernity and gender relations to new technology and new media – and these are investigated in the individual chapters. This book is also available as Open Access on Cambridge Core at doi.org/10.1017/9781108614306. derek b. scott is Professor of Critical Musicology at the University of Leeds.

  • Nicolai Fechin [1881–1955] This Russian-American Painter Brought His Intensely Creative Spirit and Genius for Portraiture to the American West
    WESTERN VISTA PERSPECTIVE: NICOLAI FECHIN [1881–1955] This Russian-American painter brought his intensely creative spirit and genius for portraiture to the American West WRITTEN BY Gussie Fauntleroy In 1895 in the Russian town of Kazan, a trading port and cultural crossroads on the wide Volga River, 13-year-old Nicolai Ivanovich Fechin stood at a crossroads in life. His father was a masterful artisan skilled in woodworking, archi- tecture, painting, gilding and cabinetry, but less adept at business, and the family had to give up their home. Nicolai’s brother and mother were mov- ing to another town to live with the boys’ grandmother, while their father would travel from village to village as an itinerant craftsman. Young Nicolai could have gone with either parent. Instead, he chose a third, and fortuitous, path. That same year, a graduate Self Portrait of the Imperial Academy of Arts in Saint Petersburg had opened a branch school in Oil on Canvas | 10.5 x 9.5 inches Kazan. It offered painting, sculpture, architecture and general education instruction Private collection to youth from families of all means, not only the wealthy. Nicolai, having spent his boyhood happily engaged in drawing and woodcarving in his father’s workshop, decided to stay in Kazan and attend the school. His father proudly approved. With a classmate, the boy moved into a disused house and subsisted on little more than bread, honey and tea while he attended the six-year school. “It was kind of a miraculous piece of providence. Without that school, Fechin would have needed either a patron or money to hire a master to teach him art, which of course his family didn’t have,” says Susan Fisher, director of the Taos Art rtMusuem Museum in New Mexico, which holds a collection of Fechin paintings, most on A aos long-term loan from private collections.

  • The City's Memory: Texts of Preservation and Loss in Imperial St. Petersburg Julie Buckler, Harvard University Petersburg's Im
    The City’s Memory: Texts of Preservation and Loss in Imperial St. Petersburg Julie Buckler, Harvard University Petersburg's imperial-era chroniclers have displayed a persistent, paradoxical obsession with this very young city's history and memory. Count Francesco Algarotti was among the first to exhibit this curious conflation of old and new, although he seems to have been influenced by sentiments generally in the air during the early eighteenth century. Algarotti attributed the dilapidated state of the grand palaces along the banks of the Neva to the haste with which these residences had been constructed by members of the court whom Peter the Great had obliged to move from Moscow to the new capital: [I]t is easy to see that [the palaces] were built out of obedience rather than choice. Their walls are all cracked, quite out of perpendicular, and ready to fall. It has been wittily enough said, that ruins make themselves in other places, but that they were built at Petersburg. Accordingly, it is necessary every moment, in this new capital, to repair the foundations of the buildings, and its inhabitants built incessantly; as well for this reason, as on account of the instability of the ground and of the bad quality of the materials.1 In a similar vein, William Kinglake, who visited Petersburg in the mid-1840s, scornfully advised travelers to admire the city by moonlight, so as to avoid seeing, “with too critical an eye, plaster scaling from the white-washed walls, and frost-cracks rending the painted 1Francesco Algarotti, “Letters from Count Algarotti to Lord Hervey and the Marquis Scipio Maffei,” Letter IV, June 30, 1739.

In Moscow, for example, paradoxes and enigmas abound – to the bewilderment of the Western tourist and to the gratification of the Russianist, all of whom may ask why – 1. the Leningradskoe Highway goes to St. Petersburg; 2. the metro stop for the Russian State Library is still called Lenin Library Station; 3. there are two different stations called “Arbatskaia” on two different metro lines and two different stations called “Smolenskaia” on two different metro lines; 4.

  • Operetta After the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen a Dissertation
    Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen A dissertation submitted in partial satisfaction of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the Graduate Division of the University of California, Berkeley Committee in Charge: Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair Professor Mary Ann Smart Professor Elaine Tennant Spring 2013 © 2013 Ulrike Petersen All Rights Reserved Abstract Operetta after the Habsburg Empire by Ulrike Petersen Doctor of Philosophy in Music University of California, Berkeley Professor Richard Taruskin, Chair This thesis discusses the political, social, and cultural impact of operetta in Vienna after the collapse of the Habsburg Empire. As an alternative to the prevailing literature, which has approached this form of musical theater mostly through broad surveys and detailed studies of a handful of well‐known masterpieces, my dissertation presents a montage of loosely connected, previously unconsidered case studies. Each chapter examines one or two highly significant, but radically unfamiliar, moments in the history of operetta during Austria’s five successive political eras in the first half of the twentieth century. Exploring operetta’s importance for the image of Vienna, these vignettes aim to supply new glimpses not only of a seemingly obsolete art form but also of the urban and cultural life of which it was a part. My stories evolve around the following works: Der Millionenonkel (1913), Austria’s first feature‐length motion picture, a collage of the most successful stage roles of a celebrated
