The artist worked, overcoming progressive blindness, and mental illness, but a unique gift Vladimir Yakovlev has won recognition during the life of the master; circle of connoisseurs and buyers of his works was formed rather quickly.

the Artist, whose works have become a real symbol of the Soviet "other art", was born in 1934 in Gorky region; in 1944, the Yakovlev family moved to Moscow. In 1950-е years, Vladimir Yakovlev worked as a courier, then as a Retoucher, photographer and photo library custodian in the publishing house "Art", studied in the Studio of the artist Vasily Sitnikov, parallel to independently studying the history of art in the library of the publishing house.

the First official exhibition of Yakovlev in the Soviet Union (one-day exhibition in cooperation with Eduard Steinberg) was organized in 1963 at the Museum of F. M. Dostoevsky. In the mid 1970-х the artist joined the city Committee of graphic artists and had the opportunity to exhibit in the hall at the little Georgia. Then, in 1970, the artist's work was presented at the exhibition "Russian avant-garde in today's Moscow" in the Gallery of Gmurzynska (Cologne) and in 1976 his solo exhibition was held in Copenhagen.
