Description:  Munich-New York: Prestel, 2014. 30cm., hardcover, 256pp., 250 
color illus.  Summary: The first book dedicated solely to this important 
member of the Russian  avant-garde, this volume profiles Lazar Khidekel, a 
brilliant artist and  architect whose career proves a key link in the story of 
abstraction. For  decades the work of Lazar Khidekel has been undeservedly 
overlooked by galleries  and museums—primarily because the Russian 
avant-garde movement was interrupted  midstream and forced underground by the Soviet 
state. This elegantly designed  book provides the perfect introduction to 
Khidekel’s decades-long career and  coincides with a recently renewed 
fascination with Suprematism and the  development of 20th-century abstraction. A 
student of Chagall and Malevich,  Khidekel was an artistic prodigy whose 
fascination with architecture led to his  part in the founding of UNOVIS, or “
Affirmers of the New Art.” He later became a  significant figure in the 
Suprematist movement, a distinctly Russian form of  abstraction. The volume features 
the best examples from each phase of Khidekel’s  career, from his 
pre-Suprematist work and early architectural and eco-futuristic  projects to his 
post-Suprematist paintings, works on paper, and architectural  projects.
