Aficionados of Kyiv’s art auctions have a chance to prepare for future bidding or simply admire contemporary art in the new pre-auction show “Ukrainian Alternative XX.”
This fall’s auction will display more than 100 works of painters and graphics of the 20th and 21st centuries, including masters from such groups as École de Paris, non-conformists, the artists of the “New Wave” and others.
The collection is uniquely valuable for art collectors, since the lots are rare on the art-market.
The top lot of upcoming bids will be large-scale “African Woman” by Valeriy Gegamyan from the 1980s (pictured above).
Another hot item is the work of artist Diego Rivera’s wife Marevna, who was also Picasso, Chagall, and Modigliani’s muse.
Until Nov. 18, auction on Nov. 19, Museum of Modern Art of Ukraine, 17 Glybochytska St., modern-museum.org.ua, tickets: Hr 5-15.
