Five world-class galleries - the RuArts, Stella Art, Gary Tatintsian, Nashi Khudozhniki and Marina Gisich - have opened in Moscow and St. Petersburg in the past two years to meet growing demand. Prices are modest, rarely rising above $10,000 per work. Pieces by top names, such as Georgi Guryanov or Alexander Zakharov, may reach $20,000. Three of these gallery owners are women with wealthy husbands. They came to the art world with little experience and knowledge. Yet what they lack in experience, they are compensating for with enthusiasm, cash and strong teams of experts and curators, says Nic Iljine, director of corporate development for Europe and the Middle East at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Foundation, based in Frankfurt. "These Moscow galleries are large spaces, very modern, with climate control, security and lighting systems as good as any gallery in Chelsea, Paris or London," Iljine said in an e-mail. "The owners are quite serious and certainly ambitious."

If he had made the film in the tumultuous 1990s, an era besieged by economic crises, it almost certainly would have languished. Lenin once pronounced that "among all the arts, for us, cinema is the most important," but that idea seemed to fall away with so many statues. Films were lucky to premiere on 10 screens in Moscow because that's about how many of the grand Soviet cinemas were still showing movies. With the rather grand exception of the actor and director Nikita Mikhalkov ("Barber of Siberia," "Burnt by the Sun") - controversially known here as a one-man film industry - any cinematic tradition collapsed with the Soviet Union.

14. Arts & Leisure: A Russian Invasion (Memphis Flyer . 11-24-97) NOVEMBER 24, 1997 On November 23rd, the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art will In 1872, at the behest of President Ulysses S. Grant, the russian Grand Duke http://weeklywire.com/ww/11-24-97/memphis_socvr.html

A Russian Invasion By James Busbee The exhibit commemorates the 125th anniversary of a most notable Russian-American event. In 1872, at the behest of President Ulysses S. Grant, the Russian Grand Duke Alexis visited the United States, traveling to 20 cities over three months. He arrived in Memphis on February 3, 1872, toured the city, and stayed at The Peabody. Many of the jewels are centuries-old relics of times in Russia as opulent as they were tragic. Even as the Russian people suffered under oppressive empires, their leaders indulged themselves with ever-greater extravagances of palaces and jewelry. The breadth and eminence of the Diamond Fund is matched only by the jewel collections of the British monarchy and the Shah of Iran. Some of the most famous pieces include a stick pin featuring a 7.6-carat blue diamond believed to have been cut from the famed Hope Diamond. A bracelet created in 1825 to commemorate Alexander I has a 27-carat, table-cut diamond (the largest in the world) set atop a miniature portrait of Alexander painted on ivory. Perhaps the most impressive piece of the collection is a sapphire brooch dating to 1862. The 260-carat sapphire, about the size of a doorknob, sits among 57 carats of diamonds.

Art of the State Russian exhibit suggests government control of creativity can only extend so far By Angela Wibking Government control of the arts strikes a chill in the hearts of America's creative community. Government patronage in the form of funding, on the other hand, has them signing petitions and calling their congressmen. The truth is, you can't have the second without a degree of the first. If the government is holding the purse strings, someone or some group of individuals appointed by the government will be making determinations about who gets funded and who doesn't. Keeping the scales of control and patronage in balance is extraordinarily tricky, but growth and creativity in the arts depends on it. To see what happensand what doesn't happenwhen those scales get out of balance, head to the Tennessee State Museum to see an exhibition of paintings produced by Russian artists during 80 years of Communist rule. But be prepared for something of a surprise The nearly 60 works on view simultaneously confirm and refute every horror tale ever told about government control of the arts in the Soviet Union.
