Pyotr Ossovsky

19 October 2006—20 November 2006
Within the framework of the Jubilees cycle the Russian Museum presents the one-man show of Pyotr Ossovsky, the artist who belongs to the generation of the "men of the sixties". He is called the founder of the "harsh style" in the Soviet art. Ordinary people, for example, geologists and builders who developed the vast expanses of Siberia, were the characters of this style. It seems that the artist has been writing a single "story" for the whole life - "the story" about his Mother land and the Russian character. This is the Milestones of the Life of the Motherland series of large-scale historic canvases, the Russian Mothers series of portraits, a series dedicated to the Russian temples and other works.

The Lives of Remarkable Dogs

The Lives of Remarkable Dogs

17 May—10 November 2025

The exhibition explores the presence of dogs in Russian life and art. It addresses a historical process in all its forms – from the history of the state to the narrative of everyday life. A significant portion of the works on display were created in the 20th century and during the first two decades of the 21st century. Artist and dog have traveled a long road together in Russian art, and this journey still holds the promise of many discoveries to come.

Assemblage, Object, Installation

Assemblage, Object, Installation

26 February—21 April 2025

The Russian Museum continues to acquaint its visitors with various types and movements of contemporary art. The exhibition traces the evolution of assemblage, object and installation in Russian art. Once shocking with their novelty and peculiar nature, now they are no longer perceived as a “slap to the face of public taste” but occupy a firm place on the contemporary art scene.
