    The State Tretyakov Gallery and the I. V. Savitsky State Museum of Arts of the Republic of Karakalpakstan plan to hold three exhibitions in Russia until 2024.

    In March 2023, an exhibition dedicated to the work of one of the major artists of the early avant-garde Alexei Morgunov will open.

    Two expositions are planned for 2024. The first is the exhibition of the "iconic figure of experimental art" of the 20s of the last century, the painter, graphic artist Solomon Nikritin.

    "In addition, the exhibition "The Way to the East" will be opened - a large-scale exhibition project dedicated to the amazing creative phenomenon of the first half of the twentieth century - the mass creative pilgrimage of Russian artists to Turkestan," the press service of the gallery summed up.

    The Igor Savitsky State Museum of Art in Nukus was opened in 1966. Its founder and first director was Igor Savitsky, who collected the largest collection of the so-called Russian and Turkestan avant-garde, numbering about 50 thousand works. Experts believe that this is the second largest and most important collection after the collection of the Russian Museum in St. Petersburg.
