GALLERY OF RUSSIAN PORCELIAN - First exhibition from the Private Porcelain Factories in Russia
The Stroganov Palace
The Russian Museum owns one of the world's best collections of porcelain manufactured by Russian porcelain factories
(Imperial Porcelain Factory, Popov, Kornilov, Kuznetsov and Gardner factories).
The collection consists of more than 10 000 items. The exhibition stars with the produce of the Gardner Porcelain Factory
- one of the biggest private enterprises in Russia. For over two centuries the factory was a successful competitor of the
Imperial Porcelain Factory. This is the first ever large-scale exhibition of Gardner porcelain.
Over five hundred exhibits - services, vases, porcelain plastics - reflect all the stages of porcelain production in Russia.
KNAVE OF DIAMONDS
The State Russian Museum
From July 9 till November 15, 2004 The Benois Wing
The exhibition held in the Russian Museum is aimed to revive the atmosphere of The Knave of Diamonds Association's exhibitions.
Those were organised by Moscow artists in 1910-1916.
Several rooms show works that were included in "The Knave of Diamonds"
Exhibitions (1910, 1912, 1913, 1914, and 1916)
and in the exhibitions of "Donkey's Tail" (1912) and "Target" (1913). In addition, the exhibition contains works by key
Knave of Diamonds artists, which are not associated with exact exhibitions but are made in the manner typical of the
association. The core of the exhibition is formed with works of "The Knave of Diamonds" artists: P.Konchalovsky,
I.Mashkov, A.Lentulov, and A.Kuprin.
Next to them, as it was in reality, are those of K.Malevich, O. Rosanova, A.Exter,
and V.Tatlin, as well as little-known paintings by A.Morgunov, V.Bart, and M. Le Dantu. A special room is devoted to
N.Goncharova and M.Larionov. The exhibition is organized by the State Russian Museum together with the State Tretiakov
Gallery and Ekaterina Foundation (Moscow), with participation of 16 museums of the Russian Federation.
