Muzei v muzee: russkii avangard iz kollektsii Muzeia khudozhestvennoi kul'tury v sobranii Gosudarstvennogo Russkogo muzeia (Museum in a museum: works of the Russian avant-garde from the collection of the Museum of Artistic Culture in the collection of the State Russian Museum)
St. Petersburg: Rus muz, 1998. This catalogue of an exhibition recreates a unique period in the history of art when a laboratory of experimental art within the Russian Museum gave artists a chance to think out and execute their most original ideas. "It was a splendid moment when authority in art passed into the hands of artists. It was an enormous victory over the critics and collectors who who had governed the fates of art and artists," wrote Malevich in August 1923. The large format (36 cm), many plates, biographical data on the artists, and appendix of written documents make this an unexampled source on the art of the period. 399 p., 36 cm, approx. 500 color illus., Rus.
