On July 7, 1988, Sotheby's conducted an historic art auction in Moscow at which 100 paintings by once clandestine artists sold for over $3 million. This latest manifestation of glasnost reverberated throughout the Moscow art world, bringing unforeseen opportunities and problems for a generation of previously unacknowledged, "unofficial," artists. USSR Art plunges into the middle of this economic and aesthetic maelstrom, presenting a fascinating overview of Soviet art and artists in transition, and of a society struggling with its frist flirtations with commercialism. Featuring interviews with many of these leading artists (who have suddenly become celebrities), as well as a large representative sampling of their works, USSR Art provides an invaluable window on the most rapidly developing and exciting movement in the international art world.
