An Arts Society Corinium illustrated talk given by James Butterwick.
James takes us through the huge surge of interest in the Russian Avant Garde, with the opening of Russia post-glasnost. Previously unknown artists, Malevich, Popova and Filonov among them, became famous and sought-after by the new Russian-buying public. With their reappearance, however, came an industrial-scale level of faking of their pictures, together with other artists of the period, often with the connivance, unwitting or otherwise, of Western and Russian experts.
Doors open at 7pm with free refreshments. Visitors welcome £7.00.
