a Project of this scale could not be prepared in total secrecy, but nevertheless it was a surprise. It turns out that for almost a year the Vladimir Potanin Foundation and the Centre Georges Pompidou with the filing Olga Sviblova prepared a representative collection of works by masters of Russian post-war non-art and artists of contemporary art for donation to the famous French Museum. In Paris we go an important step choicest things. Because the most important task consisted precisely in the fact that in the leading museums of the world were adequately and comprehensively represented an important period of Russian art. At the Pompidou Centre have long been representative collection of Russian avant-garde, including works by Kandinsky, Goncharova and started. Was there before the Russians and the sixties (in particular, Ilya Kabakov, Vladimir Yankilevsky and Edward Steinberg), as well as separate the actual work of Russian artists of the turn of XX — XXI centuries. And according to the critics, the picture of Russian art was going fragmented. Now the gaps will be closed. In the collection of the Pompidou Centre and received 59 works of Russian artists selected by Olga Sviblova, curator of the Pompidou Nicolas Lucci-Гутниковым and agreed by the Board of the Museum.

In particular, the Museum will go a number of works Vladimir Yankylevsky ("Portrait of R. S. 1963, four male portrait, triptych No. 32 "the unique being", 2013, avtomonograficheskih albums), several works Edward Steinberg, things Ilya Kabakov, Erik Bulatov, Yuri Zlotnikov, Boris Turetsky, Grisha Bruskin, George albert, Yuri Avvakumov, Pavel Pepperstein, , Dmitry Gutov, Vlad Mamyshev-Монро, AES (F etc.

As can be understood from the publications, one part of the work was acquired directly from the artists for the money Fund Potanin, and the other part was donated by private collectors. So, we know that one of my favourite works Mikhail Roginsky in the French Museum gave Inna Bazhenova, your Vladimir Yakovlev narrated by Alexander Kronik, several works for the Pompidou Centre donated the Vladimir and Ekaterina Semenikhin, Igor Tsukanov, Tamaz and Iveta Manasherov, Pierre Brochet, Galina Manevich, etc.
