After the Soviet Union was
dissolved in 1991, Russian artists who no longer felt defined by resistance to
authority could reflect wistfully, ironically or polemically on utopian
concepts like the Ideal City or the New Soviet Man. They also brought a fresh point
of view to issues informing the western cultural conversation: architecture and
urban living, rationally-planned versus informal settlements, the interplay of
aesthetics and ideology, new technology and social change, national and other
forms of identity, conflict and migration.
This display features print
works collected by the V&A since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991.
Russian artists reflect wistfully, ironically or polemically on utopian
concepts like the Ideal City or the New Soviet Man.
Our temporary displays
complement our permanent collection; there are many free displays around the
V&A. They range in size from a single case to a room.

Julie and Robert Breckman Prints & Drawings Gallery, Room 90
