Description

This book surveys the history of private collecting in imperial Russia, from the first collections of Peter the Great's associates to the Moscow collections of the European avant-garde of the early 20th century. About forty essays describe the collections of the 18th-century aristocracy - Princes Yusupov and Golitsyn, Counts Stroganov, Vorontsov, and Sheremetev; the high officialdom of the 19th century - Dmitri Tatishchev, Prince Alexander Gorchakov, Alexander Stieglitz, and Alexander Polovtsov; the Moscow industrialists of the early 20th century - Savva Mamontov, the Morozov brothers, the Shchukin brothers, and the Ryabushinskys; as well as Russian collections formed abroad - those of the Demidovs, Pyotr Saburov and Alexander Basilevsky. The text is accompanied by more than 340 illustrations, mostly in color.
