Exhibition-Installation: Ann Golubkina. Sergei Konenkov. Secrets of Mastery

The State Tretyakov Gallery, Memorial State Museum-Studio of Ann Golubkina, the Russian Academy of Arts and Sergei Konenkov Museum-Studio present an exhibition-installation: Ann Golubkina. Sergei Konenkov. Secrets of Mastery.

The exhibition recreates the atmosphere of studios of the early 20th century renowned Russian sculptors – Ann Golubkina (1864-1927) and Sergei Konenkov (1874-1971). The exhibits relating to their lives, personal belongings and working tools illustrate the material side of the sculptors’ everyday life and introduce us into their creative laboratory including all stages of the process from an idea to its implementation as well as works which have not been finished.

Of big interest are unexplored works selected from the Museums’ funds for this display that are well combined with masterpieces by both sculptors who show us an example of constant searches of new forms, themes and materials.

The exhibition is supported by a photo gallery from the Museums’ collections.
