it Turns out that the famous conductor Vladimir Spivakov really could become a musician and an artist. Journal of Vogue reported about the forthcoming opening of the exhibition, said that in his youth, the Maestro stood at a crossroads, which path to choose — music or art. It ran its course. Russia and the world received the outstanding musician and cultural figure, and his passion for painting Spivakov sold as a collector.

Meeting Spivakov not tied to one subject. Among the 90 works, which have made the exposition "Hobbies" will be our "World of art", and European religious paintings, and Moscow conceptualism, and "Lianozovsky group", and kinetic art. Full list of works not yet published, but Vogue gives a few illustrative names: Pyotr Konchalovsky, Boris Kustodiev, Alexander Benois, Viktor Vasnetsov, Konstantin Korovin, Anna Ostroumova-Лебедева, Lado Gudiashvili, Pavel tchelitchew, Nikolai Tarkhov, Alexander Serebryakov, Artur Fonvizin. From the sixties the exhibition is the work of "those" Vladimir Nemukhin, conceptualist Igor Makarevich, kineta Alexander Grigoriev. And that's just what was said in the announcement. Actually works and first names will be much more.

the Collection will be doubly interesting to see if guides will tell about the biographical context that is associated with individual items. For example, the drawings of Paul Chelishchev remind Spivakov about the incident in Carnegie-Холле 1977. It is this incident wrote Sergei Dovlatov in his "Solo on the underwood". The fragment is short, so give all:

Spivakov for a long time infringed as a Jew. Beautiful name did not save him from anti-Semitism. He was not given the title. Hardly produced on tour. Gave him all sorts of trouble. Finally Spivakov has made their tour in America. Flew to new-Йорк. Came to Carnegie-Холл.

At the entrance stood the guys from the Jewish defense League. Over their heads hung a banner: "KGB Agent — get out!"

And again: "All for the fight for the rights of Soviet Jews!"

the concert Began. The musician flew paint cans. His shirt was stained scarlet. Spivakov played bravely to the end. Night, he called Solomon Volkov. Wolf says:

— Maybe after this you will "Honored artist"?

Spivakov said:

— shall give at least "Honored master of sports".

Probably, the skills of the boxer-любителя helped at that time Spivakov to withstand the impact of a three-kilogram thrust exploding cans of paint. What doesTchelitchew? That is, the conductor saw that evening in the restaurant "Russian tea", and later they gave him art-дилер Anatoly Bekkerman. Generally, in the Assembly of Spivakov will be shown a lot of works donated by friends and admirers. In particular, there will be drawings, donated by the wife of Artur Fonvizin received to the memory of Lado Gudiashvili, etc. But most of the works Spivakov painstakingly sought and collected for many years.

the Exhibition will last for three months. The closure is scheduled for 24 September 2017.
