Лекция Алексея Петухова «Сергей Щукин и коллекционеры-современники»

Sergei Ivanovich's house on Bolshoy Znamensky Lane in Moscow housed ancient Egyptian artifacts, a remarkable collection of Eastern art, works by old masters, Russian ceramics, and ancient icons. These works, assembled from archival documents, have been reunited a century later at the exhibition "Unknown Shchukin. Not Just New Art." For many years, these collections remained in the shadows, but now they reveal a new facet of the patron's personality! Exploring previously unknown parts of the collection allows us to more fully compare the activities of the Moscow patron with those of his contemporaries—European and American collectors of the first decades of the 20th century. We are sharing a recording of a lecture by exhibition curator Alexei Petukhov, "Sergei Shchukin and Contemporary Collectors." We will attempt to trace the connections between these vibrant, multifaceted figures—both those famous today and those half-forgotten. Alexey Petukhov, PhD in Art History, leading researcher in the New Western Art Department at the Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts, and curator of the exhibition "Unknown Shchukin. Not Just New Art." #UnknownShchukin
