VOLKOVA, A double-sided drawing, c. 1940s
Est: $300 - $500
VOLKOVA MARINA ISAEVNA (RUSSIAN 1904-1979), [ Football award ceremony w/ still life on verso], c. 1940s, double sided, gouache (recto), pencil (verso) on paper, 39 x 28 cm (15 1/3 x 11 in.) LOT NOTES Volkova was a Russian (Soviet) painter, graphic and poster artist who studied at the Kharkov Art Institute. She was a member of the USSR Union of Artist and began to exhibit her works in 1933. In the 1930s, Volkova mainly worked in agitation and mass art, but afterwards she was engaged in painting and created genre paintings, landscapes and portraits. She is especially known for the picturesque work "Handing the Red Banner to the Champion" on the topic of football, which she started creating before the war, but finished only when it ended. PROVENANCE INFORMATION This lot comes from the collection of Viktor Kholodkov (1948-2015), who fulfilled his passion for books, avant-garde design and paper memorabilia by devoting his life to collecting and dealing of prominent works of Russian graphic art of the first half of the 20th century. The dedicated collector acquired a multitude of books and artworks throughout decades, meticulously labeling and archiving every single item. Many came directly from the most preeminent artists of the time, as well as from their families and estates. He also possessed a vast number of drawings from the famous collection of another avant-garde enthusiast, Nikolai Khardzhiev. After leaving the USSR in 1989 and settling in California, Viktor continued his work as a Soviet art dealer and critic, actively publishing various articles and contributing to several major Russian avant-garde exhibitions across the U.S., such as the 1991 Russia Under Fire in the 40s on the West Coast and the 1992 Guggenheim exhibition The Great Utopia: The Russian and Soviet Avant-Garde. Kholodkov also contributed to the archives of the biggest American institutions. His sophisticated selection of over 2000 Russian sheet music covers was acquired by The Library of Congress, and an extensive amount of material related to VKhUTEMAS is now at the J. Paul Getty Museum.
