Since emigrating to the West in 1989, Ilya Kabakov--now 70 years old--and his wife Emilia have become two of the most important masters of the visual arts today. The Kabakovs' work is beyond historical categorization, although the viewer sometimes receives the impression that the work refers to a specific historical point of view and to a real space. Culled for this large 400-page book, 500 almost unknown drawings and 50 models of new architectural projects reveal the Kabakovs' diverse utopic dimension.

Seller's Description:
8vo. 8 pp. Near Fine. Soft Cover. Stiff printed paper wraps. Staple binding. Color plates throughout. Biographical note. Text in English. Ilya Kabakov (Russian: ÐльÑÌ ÐабакоÌв; born September 30, 1933), is a Russian-American conceptual artist, born in Dnipropetrovsk in what was then the Ukrainian SSR of the Soviet Union. He worked for thirty years in Moscow, from the 1950s until the late 1980s. He now lives and works on Long Island. Throughout his forty-year plus career, Kabakov has produced a wide range of paintings, drawings, installations, and theoretical texts-not to mention extensive memoirs that track his life from his childhood to the early 1980s. In recent years, he has created installations that evoked the visual culture of the Soviet Union, though this theme has never been the exclusive focus of his work. Unlike some underground Soviet artists, Kabakov joined the Union of Soviet Artists in 1959, and became a full member in 1965. This was a prestigious position in the USSR and it brought with it substantial material benefits. In general, Kabakov illustrated children's books for 3-6 months each year and then spent the remainder of his time on his own projects. From the Collection of the Art Historian Peter Selz.
