The sale will offer rediscovered treasures by many of the most celebrated artists in the field, including Natalia Goncharova, Vasily Vereshchagin, Boris Grigoriev, Filipp Maliavin and Alexander Volkov. This selection is led by Vasily Vereshchagin‟s undisputed masterpiece Crucifixion by the Romans (see separate release) offered on behalf of the Brooklyn Museum and by two pairs of exquisite vases produced by the Imperial Porcelain Factory under Emperor Nicholas I. The sale will also feature over forty works of art by Fabergé, many distinguished by their rare Imperial provenance. Highlighted by masterpieces of tremendous importance and scale, the sale brings together outstanding examples of Russian art, much of which is appearing on the market for the first time in decades. MASTERS OF THE 19th CENTURY In addition to Vasily Vereshchagin‟s epic canvas, Christie‟s is delighted to present a number of outstanding 19th century paintings, including the highly exciting discovery of Viktor Vasnetsov‟s (1848-1926) truly iconic A Bogatyr. Under the patronage of the Moscow merchants, Savva Mamontov and Pavel Tretyakov, Vasnetsov designed and built a new studio which allowed him to work on a monumental scale, creating works such as his most famous masterpiece, Bogatyrs (1876-1898, State Tretyakov Gallery).

In conversation with forty-five first- and second-generation Russian intellectuals who relocated from Russia and the former Soviet Union, the researcher investigates transnational Russian identity through ethnographic, auto-ethnographic, and visual anthropology methods. Educated migrants from Russia who shared with the researcher a comparable epistemic universe and experiential perspective, and who were themselves experts on migration, discuss what it means to belong to global transnational diasporas, how they position themselves in historical contexts of migration, and what they hope to contribute to modern intellectual migrant narratives.

Peintres et sculptrices, 1880-1940 », est consacrée à Suzanne Valadon (1865-1938) et aux artistes féminines de sa génération. Elle permet de comprendre comment les femmes de cette époque, dont la vie devait se résumer à s’occuper de la maison et de la famille, ont lutté pour devenir des artistes, comme Suzanne Valadon qui s’est imposée peintre dans un univers artistique dominé par les hommes. L’exposition réunit les œuvres d’environ 40 artistes femmes, peintres, sculptrices ou dessinatrices célèbres comme Camille Claudel ou Marie Laurencin, et d’autres moins connues mais tout aussi talentueuses. Toutes ont joué un rôle important dans les bouleversements artistiques du 20 e siècle. Cette exposition met en lumière leurs noms et leur travail trop souvent oubliés au profit de ceux d’artistes masculins. 4 Plan 5 Textes Valadon & ses contemporaines Peintres et sculptrices, 1880-1940 Le musée des Beaux-Arts de Limoges et le monastère royal de Brou s’associent pour organiser une exposition consacrée à Suzanne Valadon (1865-1938), et aux artistes féminines de sa génération.

  • Frank Claustrat
    Nordic Writers ANd Artists iN pAris BeFore, duriNG ANd AFter World WAr i Frank claustrat paris: capital of the Arts hundreds of Nordic artists manifested from a very early stage their openness to the outside world, and to all forms of modernism, par- ticularly in paris, which from 1889 – the year of the universal exhi- bition – until World War ii, was considered to be the centre of all the arts.0 Among the numerous foreign art colonies in paris, the Nor- dic one included a number of celebrities who, thanks to their French connection, also played a decisive role in their own countries.1 in the 1920s, rolf de Maré (1888-1964) and his circle strengthened the Nor- dic avant-garde tradition with the creation of les Ballets suédois, a transgressive dance company, based at théâtre des champs-elysée but undertaking international tours in europe and even in America (de Mare (ed.) 1931). the freedom of expression and the struggle against academicism that these artists found in the French capital led to both an individual and collective sense of fulfilment. Associ- ated with the ideas of cosmopolitanism and universalism, paris be- nefited in return – like never before – from an unexpected explosion of inventive force (cassou 1960-1961). From the Belle Epoque until the end of World War i, a Nordic colony established itself in paris, most tangibly in the district of Montparnasse.2 here, private spaces privileged inter-Nordic contacts. Artists’ studios, such as that of the Franco-swedish/Norwegian cou- ple ida (1853-1927) and William (1862-1936) ericson-Molard on 6 rue Vercingetorix, were important in this respect.

Une journée avec Marie Vassilieff emprunte son titre à A Day with Picasso (1997), un ouvrage de l’historien de l’art et ingénieur Billy Klüver dans lequel ce dernier tente de retracer, grâce à une série de photographies prises par Jean Cocteau, le parcours d’une après-midi de promenades de Pablo Picasso dans les rues de Montparnasse en compagnie, notamment, de Marie Vassilieff. Dans cette exposition, il s’agit de rendre hommage à la méthodologie de Klüver tout en décentrant notre regard, s’éloigner de Picasso pour s’attarder sur une figure presque située dans le hors-champ de l’histoire de l’art classique : Marie Vassilieff. Marie Vassilieff fut une artiste centrale du Montparnasse de la première moitié du XXe siècle : par son travail plastique et par son rôle charismatique de médiatrice entre artistes, intellectuel·le·s et critiques du Paris artistique des années 1910-1930.

    Scapegoat Architecture/Landscape/Political Economy Issue 03 Realism 24 Objectless in Vitebsk: Reflections on ­Kazimir Malevich, Architecture, and Representation A Conversation with Elitza ­Dulguerova Scapegoat posed the following questions to Elitza Dulguerova, Assistant Professor in Art History at the University of Paris I, Panthéon—Sorbonne, who works on the social history of the Russian avant- garde. We are interested in Kazimir Malevich’s claim that “ Suprematism is the new realism.” Additional- ly, we want to clarify the relationship between this claim and what happened to Suprematism when it confronted the built environment, namely during Malevich’s tenure (1919–1922) in the then Soviet Malevich’s panels decorated several buildings in Vitebsk, including the White Barracks (above), town of Vitebsk. where the Committee for the Struggle against Unemployment had its workshops (December 1919). Scapegoat Says What led Malevich to had already emphasized the distinction between to political conjuncture alone, insofar as the long ago” and bequeathed the task of developing proclaim that “Suprematism is the a “superficial” and a “deep” realism, the first being political appropriation (and approval) of realistic architectural Suprematism to the young architects new realism?” What, for Malevich, is solely concerned with meaning and granting little painting and sculpture as the only “appropriate” in somewhat vague terms, as the “era of the new the real in realism, and why does this consideration to the means of reaching it (Courbet), art for a communist state was not yet dominant, system of architecture.”10 Such a stance was not necessitate an attack on representation? while newer art such as Cubism was filed under the at least not until the end of the Civil War in 1921.
