Background on the Collection
The collection was acquired over 17 years beginning in 1994, just after the transition of the Soviet Union to Russia. Paintings were individually selected and examined in person prior to purchase by the current owner, an art expert. Most paintings were purchased directly from the artist or artist’s family. An estimated 50 visits to Russia were taken over 17 years to acquire the current inventory, which could not be replaced or repeated due to the changes in government regulations and limited availability of such artwork. Numerous Master Artists included in the collection, such as Popov, Bukovetsky, Fomin, Sokolov, Nebolsin, Goncharov and Zvonarev, are now deceased. Paintings include Soviet era and post Soviet era paintings, primarily from distinguished Academy Masters or Academy trained artists. Many pieces have historical or political subjects while others are large landscapes, still lives, portraits or representations of Russian life, Russian Impressionism and Social Realism. Many of the largest sized paintings represent a finite international inventory of large works outside of Russia, due to changes in regulations restricting the largest pieces from exportation.

Owner/seller/collector personally acquired all the pieces currently available. Due to health and age of the owner, the entire collection is now available for immediate sale to a qualified buyer. This is a rare, one-of-a-kind opportunity that is impossible to replicate.
