“Suprematism, UNOVIS and Lazar Khidekel” is an exhibition of 24 prints of works from the Khidekel Archive, one of the most comprehensive archives of the Russian avant-garde. The pieces displayed will include prints of paintings, drawings, period photographs, UNOVIS documents, publications, and pages from the legendary AERO, Khidekel’s handmade book from 1920, which is considered to be one of the first ecological manifestos of the modern era.
