Izvestnye i vydai︠u︡shchiesi︠a︡ khudozhniki Sankt-Peterburga v sovremennom iskusstve

The author has met most of the artists here presented in their studios and at exhibitions. Chronicling their lives and understanding their work, he draws on conversations with the artists. He logs the careers of approximately fifty living and late artists of all schools, which makes the book a useful way to gain one{u2019}s bearings in the shifting trends of Russian art of the twentieth and twenty-first century. -- Summary written by John W.
