|
Ilya Kabakov lives and works with Emilia Kabakov in Moscow and New York.
Ilya Kabakov is one of the best known modern Russian artists.
With Bruce Nauman he belongs to the top of the international art world. Kabakov´s work has been presented in large international exhibitions.
Kabakov is a talented graphic artist, who tells about his life and his view of reality. His work consists partly of autobiographical details, partly of his personal philosophical outlook, which can be called optimist-melancholical.
Kabakov is one of the founders of the underground Russian artist movement in Moscow. He remained a member until the end of 1980, when his work was discovered in the West. Already in the sixties Kabakov ironized systems and the social order. In this way his distinguished himself from most other artists. With Vitali Komar, Alexander Melamid, Erik Bulatov, and Dmitri Prigov, he formed the group of Moscow conceptualists. These artists tried to break through the façade of the official Soviet culture. Kabakov´s first big installation in the West was The Characters, exhibited in 1988 in de Ronald Feldman Gallery, New York. Many more were to follow.
