Russian Art Week

Russian Art Week is part of the official programme of the UK-Russia Year of Culture 2014. Celebrating the long cultural tradition of engagement between the two countries the UK-Russia Year of Culture in 2014 will delight and surprise Russian and UK audiences and illustrate the way in which the relationship continues to develop new, creative and contemporary narratives in both countries.

This November London’s premier auction houses and arts venues are set to welcome the fifth Russian Art Week in London. Auctions of rare and valuable Russian paintings, icons, Fabergé and works of art will be held at all the major auction houses, alongside a series of exceptional exhibitions of works by Russian artists.

Russian Art Week highlights include several Russian exhibitions and related cultural events such as Leonid Borisov’s first ever UK one-man show Lessons in Geometry, and Born in the USSR, which presents contemporary Russian design, at Elena Shchukina’s two central London galleries. Bonhams, Christie’s, Sotheby’s, MacDougall’s, and Chiswick Auctions will all be presenting Russian auctions, whilst Maxim Boxer will be bringing his second contemporary Russian art auction to London, this time on the theme of metaphysics.
