THE SHCHUKIN COLLECTION
The exhibition project led by the Fondation Louis Vuitton will be the first time a collection of such seminal importance in the history of modern art will be presented outside Russia (the Pushkin Museum held an exhibition in tribute to the Shchukin collection in 2004).
The project focuses on narrating the genesis of modern art and the upheavals marking the 1890-1914 period when the collection was created. Shchukin’s original viewpoint, which so greatly influenced the character of his collection, will be one of the main themes explored by the exhibition.
