Valery Yurlov will arrive from Moscow for this special event in his honor.
Valery Yurlov stands out as one of the earliest proponents of analytical abstraction within Soviet nonconformist art and was among those brave artists who, as early as the 1950s, defied the harsh restrictions placed on artists by the Communist government.
The exhibition spotlights 50 pioneering works, selected from more than 200 by the artist in the Norton and Nancy Dodge Collection at the Zimmerli, from the late 1950s and 1960s, with a few later pieces from the collection of the artist.
