🖋️ James Butterwick previews the RA+C November sales:

This winter, 2019, the London auctions of Russian Art are headed by a Kliun from the Costakis collection. Actually, let me re-phrase that. This winter, 2019, the London auctions of Russian Art are headed by Kliun of such mega, out-there brilliance that we might as well all pack up and go home. Best picture to come up at Russian Art Week for years? Go on! Tell me I’m wrong!

Indeed, it’s pretty difficult to find anything at the four auction houses that even holds a candle to this masterpiece... Read the rest on our website!

🎨 THE BEST COLLECTIONS OF RUSSIAN ART ALL OVER THE WORLD✨

One does not need to have a Russian visa to see great collections of Russian Art. Interest in Russian art is booming all over the world, and numerous museums collect and display works by Russian artists outside of Russia. Natalia Goncharova’s retrospective at Tate Modern may be over, but there is still a lot on offer in London. The Tate’s holding of Russian Art is extensive, with current displays of particular interest to admirers of Russian conceptualism. There is documentation of Room No2, 1984, by Irina Nakhova, who worked with the concept of Total Installation before her arguably more famous fellow-artist, Ilya Kabakov.

➡️ THE BROTHERS KARAMAZOV screening and Q&A

The Brothers Karamazov novel is the epitome of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s creative work, the acme of the philosophic investigation carried out by this colossal and restless mind throughout his life.

World renowned choreographer Boris Eifman offers a remarkable vision of the core ideas within the novel, expanding upon them though body language as a way of exploring the origins of the moral devastation of the Karamazovs; creating through choreographic art an equivalent of what Dostoyevsky investigated so masterfully in his book, the excruciating burden of destructive passions and evil heredity.

Followed by Q&A with a Russian theatre expert Maria Shevtsova.

📢 Ivanov at the Barbican!

Following its successful run of Shukshin’s Stories, The Barbican recently hosted the Theatre of Nations’ rendition of Ivanov, Anton Chekhov’s first full-length play written in 1887. Like Shukshin, Chekhov explored the universal nature of human flaws in his writing, largely ignoring politics and producing works which would resonate for years to come. In this 2016 production, director Timofey Kulyabin captures the unique poetic value and black humour of Chekhov’s original in a modernised version set in present-day Russia. The character of Ivanov is portrayed by Evgeny Mironov as a deeply miserable office worker who is experiencing a mid-life crisis and seething self-hatred, both of which consume him and damage his relationships. His wife is terminally ill with cancer, he owes a large amount of money to the Lebedevs, and he believes his last chance of happiness is his affection for Sasha, his creditors’ daughter. The play’s four acts are performed against stunningly detailed sets by Oleg Golovko, which depict Ivanov’s home and office, the Lebedevs’ dacha, and a marriage registry office. Through a surprising combination of music, props, costumes and exceptional acting, Kulyabin’s production provides an immersive and authentic experience for Russian and British viewers alike.
