Vremennaia arkhitektura Parka Gor’kogo / Temporary Structures in Gorky Park

Moscow: Garazh, 2019. Sewn pb. The 1923 agricultural, crafts, and industry exhibition (sel’sko-khoziazstvennaia i kustarno-promyshlennaia vystavka) fresh upon the end of the revolution and civil war was a chance for the Soviet regime to emphasize positive change. Aleksei Shchusev, the eminent architect of the late Russian imperial period (e.g., Kazan Railway Station) and early Soviet period (e.g., Lenin’s Mausoleum), was appointed to organize a competition for design of pavilions for the exhibition. Held on ground sloping toward the Moscow River and occupied by disparate parks and houses left in decay after the war years, the exhibition harnessed the talents of artists, sculptors, and designers such as Alexandra Exter, Vera Mukhina, Alexander Deineika, Aristarkh Lentulov, Kosma Petrov-Vodkin, and Sergei Konenkov. Many works in this catalogue of the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art are published here for the first time. 255 p., approx. 400 color and b/w illus., Rus. and ENGLISH. Item #3246
