View of the Kremlin with a delay

Starting date of the new building at the corner of Quay and Kadashevskaya Lavrushinsky lane constantly shifts - scheduled to lay the first stone in 2007, then in 2008. «I do not know now whether it will turn out in 2009», - said Iovleva, noting that the formal harmonization is not yet completed. «There is a lot of work. The project, proposed by the architects, will be partially processed, but the museum's experts have begun working with designers to develop exposure », - said Iovleva.

concept has changed: all the parade

Initially, the new building to be transported all the congregation of Old Russian painting and sculpture, to show which are not adapted to the small historic halls Lavrushinsky. However, according to Iovlevoy, it could create a problem: most of the visitors to continue to go to the main building, which makes «a large part of Russian art would be cut off from the general context». In the end, decided to leave the 150-200 of the best icons in the main exhibition, a new building to arrange exhibition space on the principle of open reserves. «Let's assume that left one icon to the exhibition, we are easy to replace it, or restorers discovered something new - and we immediately show that is doing the work of living», - told the deputy director GTG. In her view, this will help attract visitors, «otherwise there will be hundreds of fans of the icons, and a dozen - sculpture».

So, after some time at the Tretyakov Gallery to appear two new buildings, the second - in the Crimean Val.

We shared an orange

spring appeared in the media information about the demolition of the Central House of Artists , two-thirds of which is the Tretyakov Gallery and the building in its place a set of «Orange» project of British architect Sir Norman Foster.

Then the direction the gallery has no information about the plans of the initiators of the project, and said in an interview with its director, Valentin Rodionov did not exclude the option of temporary movement in the not yet constructed the building in Lavrushinsky exhibition of twentieth century art from the gallery in the Central House of Artists. In summer, a working group was established to implement the project of constructing a new building of the Tretyakov Gallery on Krymsky Val and integrated development of the adjacent territory in the group included representatives of the various structures of the Moscow Government and the State Tretyakov Gallery and the International Confederation of Artists' Union (MKSH), which occupies a third of CHA. In August, the Tretyakov Gallery and the Confederation in the work of the group filed a similar reference to the construction of two separate buildings for them on the Crimean same shaft. At the same time emphasized that there should be continuity - that is, new buildings should be commissioned «turnkey». After that, they do not exclude, CHA can be demolished.

According to him, involves placing a preliminary draft of CHA buildings and galleries in the form of the letter «G», based on the Garden Ring, and thus they «have the function abstraction, which would assume all the dust and the roar of the Garden Ring». For its part, the deputy director of TG Irina Lebedeva said: «the preliminary outline of us are not very satisfied, because the situation for which we all agreed to discuss - a separate super-new museum galleries, as it is not very from this is».
