The Irony Tower. советские художники во времена гласности by Эндрю Соломон
Soviet Artists in a Time of Glasnost
A vivid portrait of the late-Soviet art world during perestroika and glasnost, this account follows unofficial painters, sculptors, and conceptualists as they move from clandestine apartment exhibitions to sudden international visibility. Through studio visits, interviews, and historical context, it shows how irony and conceptual play functioned as survival strategies under repression, then became tools for navigating the new pressures of markets and media. It captures the tension between authenticity and careerism, community and individuality, and documents a culture in transition on the eve of the Soviet Union’s collapse.
