During the middle of the 20th century, the birth of abstract expressionism
in New York provided the world with a new visual vocabulary and new school of
thought, which has influenced artists for generations to come. This incredible
shift moved the focus in contemporary art from Paris to NY, but it is an area
which has not been fully explored in Russia until recently. Theoretician and
artist Anatoly Osmolovsly will shed light on how understanding abstract
expressionism will help us explain many of the developments in contemporary art
today.
