The exhibition features nearly 70 paintings
and sculptures by many of the best-known artists working in America in the
postwar period, among them Louise Nevelson, Jules Olitsky, Mark Rothko, and Ben
Shahn. American Artists from the Russian Empire presents a fascinating foray
into the work of artists of Russian descent and training who left the Russian
Empire before the end of the 1930’s. These artists all created a significant
body of work in the U.S., and the exhibition provides unique insights into the
immeasurable contributions they made to the creation of American culture. See
