NEW TRETYAKOV GALLERY
As the space within the historic walls of the Tretyakov Gallery was insufficient, a new gallery bearing the patron's name was opened in the huge Soviet building of the Central House of Artists. The gallery chose to exhibit its most contemporary works among other exhibitors. All the major trends of the 20th and 21st centuries are represented: the avant-garde (neoprivitivism, fauvism, cubism, futurism, etc.), socialist realism and sots-art, the underground, photorealism and conceptualism. You will find world-famous artists such as Vasily Kandinsky, Marc Chagall and Kasimir Malevich, as well as more alternative artists such as Alexander Deineka, Alexander Kosolapov, Dmitri Vrubel, or Vitaly Komar and Alexander Melamid. The museum's surface is so huge that in the middle of the exhibition there is an art library where you can sit and meditate, as well as read more about the artistic trends represented in the gallery. In the middle of the permanent exhibition there are often temporary exhibitions, invariably dedicated to famous unknowns of Russian painting.
Visit. To better orient yourself in the gallery, use the audio guide in foreign languages (500 RUB) or a guide in French, which can be booked in advance for the price of 8,000 RUB. The combined ticket with the historical building Tretyakov Gallery costs 700 RUB.
