EXHIBITIONS
The Collection was officially presented by the Directorate of Fine Arts (Ministry of Culture of Spain) and Dolores Tomás in April 2000 at the former Museum of Contemporary Art in Madrid, where it was exhibited for three months before starting its journey through other national museums. The artists Litvinsky, Strigin, Zhuk, Chernikova, Leonov, Sushenok, and Saksonov were invited to the inauguration of the exhibition. An homage to those painters was celebrated at the "Real Academia de Bellas Artes de San Fernando", as well as at the Russian Federation Embassy in Madrid.
From that moment on, this sample of the Collection has been successfully exhibited in 16 museums, palaces, and exhibition rooms around Spain under the name "Russia 20th Century". In addition to the paintings, other interesting pieces representing Russian popular art such as religious icons, painted eggs, and lacquered boxes were exhibited. Parallel to the exhibitions, lectures, concerts, and teaching activities for children were also conducted.
Each of these exhibitions benefited from the presence and invaluable support of the Russian Federation Embassy in Spain. The Surikov Foundation will always sincerely appreciate their friendship and support.
