Алексей Расторгуев. Зачем нам искусство?

Alexey Leonidovich Rastorguev is an art historian, lecturer at Lomonosov Moscow State University, specialist in antiques appraisal and evaluation (that is, he sells, buys, and works with real objects), and collector... For me personally, he is the man who, in many ways, shaped my professional path. The conversation was fitting for the guest – comprehensive, interesting, provocative, sharp, and humorous. 🔥🌶️ If you want to meet a master of art history, this is the place!
