Russians make their mark again
|
|
Overseas Events - 24 March 2005 |
The former collection of Dmitri Snegaroff (1885-1959) was the focus of attention at the Modern and Contemporary art sale at ArtCurial (20.93% buyer’s premium) on February 22-23. Snegaroff hailed (like Marc Chagall) from Vityebsk in what is now Belarus. He moved to Paris in 1907 and found work at the Union printing press in Montparnasse, where Lenin (using Cyrillic characters he provided himself) printed revolutionary tracts during his time in Paris (1910-12). Snegaroff became head of the press in 1912, declined Lenin’s offer to return to Russia in 1917, and remained in charge until 1958. Along the way he abandoned political works for art books, magazines, posters and exhibition catalogues, and worked with Apollinaire, Breton, Eluard and others.
