This comprehensive dive into the influence of the Russian Avant-garde on 20th century art is the largest of its kind in Turkey. Comprised of a selection of 513 works from Moscow’s All-Russian Museum of Decorative Arts and Multimedia Art Museum and works from leading private collections in Europe, the exhibition sheds a light upon the important place Russian Avant-Garde occupies in the history of art.

With works that include paintings, design, literature, film and theatre and selections from world-renowned artists like Kazimir Malevich, Alexander Rodchenko and Lyubov Popova, the scope of the period’s power and potential for societal transformation is on display.
