Nevermore: Leonid Lamm, Selected Works

Saturday, March 3 – Sunday, September 30
Zimmerli Art Museum, Rutgers–New Brunswick

This exhibition is Leonid Lamm’s first museum retrospective in the United States. It acknowledges Lamm’s significant effect on the development of Soviet nonconformist art and, subsequently, in establishing its legacy both within and outside the Soviet Union. This show comprises more than 60 works of art, largely drawn from the Norton and Nancy Dodge Collection of Nonconformist Art from the Soviet Union, the Claude and Nina Gruen Collection of Contemporary Russian Art, and the collection of Lamm’s wife and daughter. The selected work, which spans his prolific seventy-year career, demonstrates that Lamm’s artistic development was stimulated by a lifelong inquiry into the multidimensional energy of space.
