Description
The Museum of Russian Art (MoRA) is a place to come and learn about the vibrant and fascinating world of Russian art, but it is also far more than that. The museum itself has a rich and colorful past, and over the thirty years of its existence has played a truly unique role in the history of twentieth-century Russian art.
he Museum introduced much of the most important Russian art of the post-war period to the world. It exhibited virtually the entire Nonconformist pantheon of Nonconformism, and also masters of the following generation, including Erik Bulatov, Alexander Kharitonov, Dmitry Krasnopevtsev, Evgeny Kropivnitsky, Lidia Masterkova, Vladimir Nemukhin, Ernst Neizvestny, Oscar Rabin, Eduard Shteinberg, Boris Sveshnikov, Oleg Tselkov, Oleg Vasiliev, Vladimir Yakovlev, Anatoliy Zverev, and many others.
Today, MoRA is entering a bright new epoch. Under new management, the Museum is making the transition to a modern, professional, full-service cultural institution. Of course, MoRA will present a series of important art exhibitions, including not only Nonconformism, but everything related to Russian art, from the earliest times to contemporary artists. The geography of Russian art is now worldwide, and we will feature Russian artists from within Russia and the world over, including some living right here in New Jersey and New York.
