Major show at the RA - Russian art, by Coach on Jul 13, 2016 17:26:58 GMT 1, 
There will be a major show at the Royal Academy in the spring.
Starting February 2017.
To mark 100 years since the Russian Revolution.
This looks like a cracking show!
From their announcement:
"Beginning with the year of the Revolution, we will examine an era of unprecedented artistic innovation, optimism and imagination โ one which came to an abrupt and brutal end in 1932 with Stalinโs suppression of the avant-garde.
From pioneers of abstraction such as Kandinsky and Malevich to the highly individual work of Chagall and the less familiar Petrov-Vodkin, this survey is the first to encompass the entire artistic landscape of post-revolutionary Russia.
Revolution: Russian Art 1917-1932 will bring together painting, photography, sculpture, film-making and graphic design, as well as everyday objects designed for a brave new world of industry and progress. From utopian dreams to harsh reality, these works vividly tell the fascinating and often tragic story of their age."
