About the book >.>.> This book announces a new chapter in the history of the Moscow Museum of Modern Art-its first ‘good round figure’. For an age-old museum with history and traditions ten years stand next to noth- ing. For a pioneering museum the same period appears quite an age. It took exactly those ten years to form vast collections of artworks from the Russian Avant-garde masterpieces to the oeuvres of present-day artists. Landmark exhi- bitions have shown the whole range of the newest trends in contemporary Russian and international art. The Museum eagerly takes part in the Moscow City social and cultural programs struggles to develop the aesthetic sensitivity of younger visitors. One of the most worthy tasks the Museum has assumed is the educational endeavour of bring- ing up emerging artists at the “Independent Workshops” School of Contemporary Art which count several generations by now. The Museum’s young staff are a truly creative team vibrant with daring plans and approaches free of any hint of conservatism and with all that firmly rooting the museum in the national and world cultural space. The anniversary exhibition entitled “Doors Open Day: a mansion a gymnasium a clinica museum. Russian Art of 1989-2009 from the Museum Collection” is a perfect opportunity to see it. (MP)
