"I THINK THAT A PAINTER, POET SHOULD BE TOTALLY FREE, FREE FROM EVERYTHING. JUST HIS WORK MAKES SENSE."
Victor Pivovarov is an artist, one of the creators of the Moscow conceptualism movement. His paintings, installations and illustrations are philosophical and personal anagrams, which the painter offers to decode. During years, Pivovarov illustrated books and magazines, including children magazines "Vesyolye Kartinki" ("Funny Pictures") and "Murzilka", books by Velimir Khlebnikov, Boris Pasternak and Daniil Kharms. From the late 70s, the artist’s works were displayed in Russia and abroad. From 1982 he lives and works in Prague. Together with Ilya Kabakov Pivovarov was considered as the founder of the album — the combination of large-size pictures united by the common narrative. Inside, pages were places in a certain order what creates a meticulously elaborated result. Victor Pivovarov’s works are in the biggest museums in Russia and worldwide.
By metro
We recommend travelling to Mayakovskaya metro station. The walk to the AZ Museum will take around five minutes. After leaving the station, turn first to the right into the alley, then moving forward, at the first intersection, turn left to 2nd Tverskaya-Yamskaya street. Walk a few meters. AZ Museum will be on your right.
By car
There are paid parking spaces on either side of 2nd Tverskaya-Yamskaya street or in the nearest alleys. Parking is limited, and on weekends and public holidays, the parking lots may be full.
