This exhibition is the second part of a retrospective exhibition of Sveshnikov’s paintings and drawings from a span of over 30 years.  Falsely accused of subversive activity while an art student in Moscow, Sveshnikov was sentenced to eight years in a Siberian labor camp.  His life became a lesson in perseverance and survival. Whereas the first part of this exhibition presented works created during the artist’s internment, this installment centers on the art produced after his release and subsequent rehabilitation. The exhibition is organized by Allison Leigh-Perlman, a Dodge Lawrence Fellow at the Zimmerli.

Admission :$6 for adults who are not members. $5 for citizens over 65. Members, children under 18, Rutgers University students, faculty, and staff with a valid I.D. enjoy free admission. Free admission for all visitors on the first Sunday of every month.

Vladimir Nemukhin is considered a leader of the generation that initiated the unofficial art movement in the Soviet Union in the late 1950s. Rejecting the official doctrine of Socialist Realism – the art style based on Communist collective propaganda that was the only method permitted in the Soviet Union – the unofficial artists proclaimed an individual and independent approach to art that was concerned with universal values. Nemukhin’s work, predominately abstract and highly personal in style, often incorporates playing cards, symbols of fortune and destiny, which have become a readily distinguishable hallmark of the artist. The exhibition is rganized by Julia Tulovsky, Assistant Curator of Russian and Nonconformist Art from the Soviet Union.
