The Exhibition
2014 The Exhibition Gallery Russia began selling Russian/Soviet art in Scottsdale 23 years ago. Today, we are pleased to be globally recognized experts in this genre. More importantly, we are proud to be equally well-known for being trustworthy and ethical! While the art world in general continues to work hard to survive, Russian art keeps trending in a significantly positive direction. The large auction houses are still having strong Russian sales, socialist realism continues to gain ground with collectors, China continues to have a voracious appetite for all eras of Russian art and even the Louvre is adding a new Russian section for paintings in 2015. Living painters of note are traveling and exhibiting throughout the world. This school of art is here to stay. It is far more than a regional or even national school of art. It has been embraced by art collectors and critics throughout the world. As more and more collectors discover it, prices are going up in a steady and healthy manner—not in an artificially induced way. This fact makes it as great a time as ever to discover it.
