Rezensionen

"Elise Herrala brings us a brilliant account of Post-Soviet art, prostrate before an anti-Soviet Western critique and a strangulating state, and left to depend on the precarious growth of markets, connecting painters, galleries and collectors. A radiant ethnography, Art of Transition shows, despite marginality, that Russian contemporary art exhibits an outlandish originality and ironic commentary on the cultural dilemmas of the transition from communism to capitalism."
