Russian capital, not enough high-quality exhibitions of contemporary art and exhibition For what you are about to receive ( «The fact that you will»), which will hold a well-known Gagosian Gallery from 18 September to 19 October in the building of factories «Red October », partly remedy this shortcoming, said Victoria Gelfand, director of Gagosian Gallery in London, Moscow and the organizer of the exhibition.

«The lack of high-quality exhibitions of contemporary art is connected with the fact that the museums in Russia and under-funded collections of twentieth-century art world is not here. We faced the task of selecting works that would be consistent with the level of expositions in Paris, New York or London, to collect the outstanding names - so it will be Dan Flavin, Luchio Fontana, Willem de Kuninga, and Roy Lichtenstein, and Arshil Hills, and Tom Friedman, and Ed Rusha, and Gerhard Richter, and others. Given that Gagosian is not a museum, a gallery, the task was not very easy, but we are pleased with the result », - Gelfand said in an interview with RIA Novosti, noting that almost all these works will be shown in Moscow for the first time and the« many of them are impressive achievements of their authors ».

«Moscow audience to see the best contemporary art, carefully selected for the exhibition of the museum's world» - the title of this interpretation of the exhibition invited interlocutrix agency, explaining: «At the entrance to the exhibition visitors will see at once intriguing work of Douglas Gordon, specifically created for the exhibition.

We know that the Moscow audience for the most part, over the past fifty years has not had the opportunity of detailed familiarity with the most striking phenomena of contemporary fine art. Many of these phenomena, however, develop a more well-known Moscow Russian Fine Arts beginning of the twentieth century. Cubism, Futurism, redimeyd, Constructivism and Suprematism exemplify the highest achievement of exquisite artistic experiment ».
