Jacques Lipchitz (1891-1973). Retrospective
The Moscow Museum of Modern Art presents for the first time in Russia an extensive solo exhibition of Jacques Lipchitz, a major personality in the 20th century sculpture, a foremost figure in the School of Paris, a close friend of Amedeo Modigliani, Chaïm Soutine and Pablo Picasso. The project is a part of the 70th anniversary celebration of the Israel State foundation. The artistic oeuvre of Jacques Lipchitz can now be found in different countries, forming part of best world museum and private collections. His solo exhibitions’ story started in 1920, while his retrospective shows’ record dates back to 1936. A Soviet art historian Abram Efros defined Lipchitz’s artworks as ‘the highest point, the climax of Russian integration’ into the western art world. The exhibition at the MMOMA will introduce the Moscow public to the art of one of the most significant sculptors of the 20th century. Besides, it will be a historic event for the world art scene, and rightfully so, as Lipchitz, a Franco-American artist of Jewish origin, was born in the Russian Empire, and now an extensive display of his works will be open in Russia for the first time ever. Until 03.03.19.

Jim Dine
The Multimedia Art Museum, Moscow presents an exhibition by the American artist Jim Dine. Works included in the exhibition were donated by Jim Dine to the Musée national d’art moderne, Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris, where his retrospective was held to great acclaim in February-April 2018. The artist himself selected 28 works from the period 1961 to 2016 for his gift to the French museum, motivated by his desire to make a tribute to France. Among Dine’s works now held in the Centre Pompidou collection are many hidden self-portraits. Autobiographical motifs are constantly present in Dine’s art: they appear in works that include images of tools and are inspired by childhood memories; in pictures partly including the artist’s clothing; in sculptural and pictorial works with characters such as Pinocchio, the author’s alter ego. Jim Dine’s first retrospective in Russia is uniquely all-inclusive and provides a comprehensive view of the celebrated artist’s entire creative journey over five decades. Until 02.12.18

Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso
Organized by the "Art of the Nations" Foundation, the exhibition "Salvador Dali and Pablo Picasso" has travelled to 11 countries before coming to Moscow. Supported by the Embassy of Spain and SMINEX development company, it presents the works of two legends of modern art who changed the way we understand images and the role of artist. The exhibition offers a rare opportunity to compare the visions of Dali and Picasso, learn more about their views on women, their contemporaries and their native Spain as well as enjoy one the largest private collections of their works including graphics, ceramics, and sculptures. While the exposition features such famous Dalinian scenes, like a melting clock, an elephant on thin legs, a woman with boxes or a giraffe in the fire, it also shows “another Dali”, whose sculptural and graphic images are no less amazing: winged snails, flies with crowns and 17 sea urchins on the back of a rhino! Until 16.12.2018.

Viktor Pivovarov: Moscow Album
The Multimedia Art Museum, Moscow presents an exhibition by the outstanding Russian artist Viktor Pivovarov, one of the founders of "Moscow Romantic Conceptualism". The exhibition features the artist’s new cycle of paintings "Moscow, Moscow!" (2017), as well as his acclaimed album "Dramatis Personae" (1996) and little-known albums "If" (1995) and"‘Florence" (2005-2010) which will be a real discovery for the viewer. The exhibition includes a sound installation from surviving audiotapes of lectures by Merab Mamardashvili, Alexander Piatigorsky, Yuri Lotman, Sergei Averintsev, Yuri Mamleev, and Genrikh Sapgir, the great philosophers, scientists, writers and poets whose work and texts are inextricably linked to the artist’s creative path. Like other figures in the Moscow Conceptualist movement, Pivovarov makes a remarkable connection between the visual and verbal fabric in his art. This poignant interweaving of the fantastic and realistic produces a new metaphysical dimension in Pivovarov’s works, which are always tied to a specific time, place and extremely articulated psychological situation while at the same time always referring to something else. Each and every work by the artist is a concentration of existential energy, and simultaneously an absolutely free involvement in the polyphonic discourse of world culture and a lively, amicable exchange with those very close to him, or those encountered by chance. ‘’I tried to convey the universal energy that united the Moscow artists and poets who created the postwar Moscow myth, to convey what Mamleev describes as the ‘passionate desire to go beyond the boundaries of ordinary human consciousness, which felt like a prison’," says Viktor Pivovarov.

In honor of this prolific bohemian period, Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts has teamed with Center Pompidou and City of Paris Museum of Modern Art to organize this exhibition in an attempt to re-create the intense atmosphere of life in Paris d'Oettingen and Férat had in 1900s-1950s. The displayed items will include materials from the private archives of the French heirs of Baroness, the Roussot family, previously unknown to the broad audience, as well as exhibits drawn from collections of Center Georges Pompidou and the City of Paris Museum of Modern Art. About 40 paintings, up to 50 drawings, unique archival documents, design and applied works will be presented in the project. Until 13.01.19.
