Moscow Grafika includes works in various mediums of printmaking, including
linocut, etching, screenprint, monotype and lithography. Dating from 1961
through the present, the works represent trends in historic non-conformist
art as well as traditional and digital mediums in printmaking by artists who
worked or working in Moscow. Several generations of non-conformist and
independent artists are represented in the exhibition, they include those
who began their careers during Khrushchev's "thaw" of the 1960's and 1970's
who took part in the first unofficial exhibitions; artists who began working
in the perestroika (late 1980's) and the post-perestroika periods; as well
as artists who entered the scene more recently during the post-Soviet years.



Artists represented in Moscow Grafika include Vagrich Bakhchanyan, Valeriy
Gerlovin, Yuri Albert, Grisha Bruskin, Andrei Budaev, Ivan Chuikov, Tatiana
Levitskaia, Eduard Gorokhovsky, Alexander Kosolapov, Valentina
Kropivnitskaia, Igor Makarevich, Marina Karpova, Mikhail Molochnikov, Ernst
Neizvestny, Victor Pivovarov, Dmitri Plavinsky, Oscar Rabin, Marina
