The avant-garde in Russia

PARIS - The name is in all the modern art manuals: industrialist Shchukin was one of the collectors with the greatest vision at the beginning of the 20th century, together with his alter ego Morozov, and accumulated works by Matisse and Picasso. Today, one of the family branches has taken over the task and they exhibit in their Parisian gallery a selection of the Russian avant-garde– Exter, Larionov, Gontcharova – of which some works have been rarely shown to the public.
• Maîtres russes modernes at the galerie Shchukin, from 11 September to 2 November 2014.
