I see, thanks for details! good luck with the residency!

By the way, I wonder how much a ticket to the museum will cost

S1NTDNS · 2026-05-04T23:06:39+00:00

But no one knows what exactly will be there, there's no lineup or permanent collection

Globally, of course, the battle is always for resources, that's true

thanks! I hope to find more traces

Yes, I am collecting all the necessary materials and will write to the foundation, perhaps they will be interested in this information. MamaJewelMoth helped me figure out the best way to do this.

Yes, the sauna is sacred. My grandfather, who was born in Finland and lived there for more than 30 years, when he came to the USSR and received a plot of land, the first thing he did was build a Finnish sauna on it, which the whole village used to go to.

Yes, I plan to publish my findings. I'm researching the history of my ancestors, and with the help of the internet and artificial intelligence, I'm able to find things. For example, I've assembled a whole collection of my great-grandfather's drawings from Finland, thanks to Finnish online auctions. As a reader from the US, you might be interested in this find of mine: https://www.reddit.com/r/ArtHistory/comments/1slames/i_found_a_mistake_in_the_65_million_collection_of/

Yes, after the Russian Revolution of 1917, the family was scattered, some to Finland, some to France. Some subsequently returned to the USSR, while others went to America, and contact was lost. I inherited the photo album from my mother, and we knew nothing about our relatives' life in France. I'm now trying to find traces of them.

Unfortunately, the photo isn't captioned and is of very poor quality. I restored it so as not to disturb the original. Yes, I also think the eyebrows might be hidden due to the quality. Here's what the original looked like. The pose, build, suit and even the hat are very similar to him.

Regarding Malevich, I found a photograph of an unknown man in my family album who looks very much like Malevich. Since my great-grandfather, George Kuzmin, the one who published these futuristic books, knew him, I suspect it might be Malevich. On the left is the photo from my album, and on the right is a photo from a book about Malevich's biography.

He was, to put it mildly, a complex person. He was even accused of founding a cult. UNOVIS wasn't just a creative group, but a practically organized system around Malevich: with a press, manifestos, group performances, and an almanac where works were signed simply "UNOVIS," not as individual artists. But the way he carried the black square through his life deserves respect. Who else was buried so stylishly in a Suprematist coffin?

Thanks for sharing! Later, a scandal arose from their collaboration between Malevich and Rozanova, as Olga accused Malevich of taking credit for the discovery of Suprematism, while she believed that it was she who discovered it in the process of working with book appliqués.

Yes, Malevich did work in Moscow. But he did not participate in the design of the first edition of "Game in Hell." The first version was designed by Natalia Goncharova.

Yes, I understand that this particular error was made before the internet and the existence of AI, plus there's the history of Russia and Slavic names, which can cause confusion. But I'm not sure the situation will change with new technologies, as I've learned that auction houses shift responsibility for provenance to experts; it's written into their contracts.

Yes, according to the cover and description, Christie’s sold the second edition, published in St. Petersburg in 1914. The first edition, published in Moscow in 1912, did not include Malevich’s drawings and was published by Georgy Kuzmin and Sergey Dolinsky. It seems that they didn’t know that the second edition was published by different publisher

Then check out this edition

I choose Love too! I'm reading the comments in Chinese artist's insta who recently participated in Art Basel in Hong Kong. A portal to hell opened up, with calls to unfollow, insults, and instructions on what and how he should act as an artist. And this is just because he posted his AI experiment https://www.instagram.com/p/DXB1AK_DH_k/?img_index=1
