Despite the fact that the prize The Art Newspaper Russia young (she was only three years) and not money, it is very accurately the time. Not only what the millennium in the yard, but also that of the century … Prize – a sculpture made by artist Sergei Shekhovtseva foam – similar to the clock. However, instead of arrows – two of the clock tower, the Kremlin’s Spasskaya and London’s Big Ben.
“Of course, this premium predictable”, – said confidently colleague five minutes before the start of the award ceremony of the newspaper The Art Newspaper Russia for 2014 Arena. “And what are your predictions?” – I asked. She called their favorites in each of the five nominations: Museum of the Year, the restoration of the year book of the year, the exhibition year, the personal contribution. An hour later we delicately did not return to this subject. Account turned a 1: 5 – only one answer hit the bull’s-eye. In general, the award of one of the world’s most respected publications on art (the owner of the network of these publications coming out in the UK, Italy, France, Greece, is Inna Bazhenov, it – the publisher of the Russian edition) happy surprises.

For example, in the” Book of the Year “Award received a publishing program of the Museum of Modern Art “Garage” and publisher Ad Marginem, within which translated and published intellectual bestsellers, from the books of Roland Barthes, Susan Sontag and Gilles Deleuze to eternally relevant (and the audience loved advanced) “Bobo in Paradise: where does new elite “David Brooks. What is important – at an affordable price. Receives a premium publishers Alexander Ivanov and Mikhail Kotomin recalled that, according to sociologists, the most active buyers are girls between 10 and 14 years old. From their point of view, it is very encouraging fact. As the younger reader is art books, the more prospects not only for publishers and authors, but all of us.
Let me remind you that in the same category was nominated for the award fundamental work “Encyclopedia of Russian avant-garde” in three volumes (in this case – the third volume was published in two books). Encyclopedia was created under the direction of Vasily Rakitin and Andrew Sarabyanova. In addition, the title of the “Book of the Year” was nominated guide Nicholas and Elena Vasileva Ovsyannikova “Architecture of Moscow NEP period and the First Five-Year Plan”, published ABCdesign.
The choice of the newspaper at the same time clearly motivated – other things being equal, it prefers to reward projects and work with the public response available to the general public. This partly explains why the large-scale project “Garage” and Ad Marginem “bypassed” the fundamental multivolume work creators of the “Encyclopedia of Russian avant-garde”.

In addition to educational influence on the minds of citizens, other criteria important for art editions, versions of which comes in five languages - International response to the events of national artistic life, their correlation with the context of the international art scene. Not surprisingly, the four nominees for the “Exhibition of the Year” three were international projects. This is the main project of Manifesta 10 (curated by Kaspar König) shown in the State Hermitage Museum, “The Golden Age of Russian avant-garde” by Peter Greenaway and Saskia Boddeke presented in Moscow’s Manezh, and the project fund collector Igor Tsukanov “Postpop art. The meeting of East and West” ( curator Andrei Erofeev) at London’s Saatchi Gallery. Fourth among the nominees has been carefully and lovingly made by the Museum of screen culture (“Arena / MediaArtLab”) and the gallery “Triumph” exhibition cycle of “Great Expectations”, which for a year (!) Gave a platform for young artists in the Arena. Needless to say how important it is for young people? But it is clear also that compete “Great Expectations” with the project Kaspar König in the Hermitage or the international project “Postpop art …” is not easy.
As a result, the “Exhibition of the Year” was a multimedia project called Peter Greenaway and Saskia Boddeke “The Golden Age of Russian avant-garde”, created by the famous director for Russia and funded by the Ministry of Culture and the Department of Culture of Moscow. Peter Greenaway, however, did not appear. Well, almost never appeared. Stead multimedia greetings (and the author’s message Ministry of Culture) gave Benjamin laugh. Really it was very similar to the author of “The Draughtsman’s Contract”. Calling from a red London phone booth (like skype), he display explained why the main thing for him is the work of Russian avant-garde “Black Square” by Malevich. In short, said a little speech. Almost as heroes grinueevskoy multimedia installation. Receive prize went Saskia Boddeke and curators Olga and Elena Shishko Rumyantsev. Saskia Boddeke admitted once again in love for the Russian avant-garde. Olga Shishko, remembering “the number of cones” inherited it accounts for this project, I noticed that the authors did not promise a scientific academic research, and offered only a subjective view. And noticed that every day an appeal to the Russian avant-garde artists of the experience is all the more urgent. What is hard to disagree.
When on a square screen, and a white ball and cone, standing on the stage, there were shots storming of the Winter from the movie “October” (1927) Eisenstein, it became clear what the museum will be called the “Museum of the Year.” And indeed, the prize “The Art Newspaper Russia” went to the Hermitage. Getting it came Ozerkov Dmitry, head of the department of contemporary art. On the 250th anniversary of the museum opened a new space in the renovated General Staff Building (now there Matisse and impressionists), and also took in the walls of the European Manifesto 10.

In other words, the tourism cluster “Russian Palestine” near by at the New Jerusalem Monastery is almost ready.
In the “Personal Contribution” award The Art Newspaper Russia assumes no contribution of the artist (his estimate Kandinsky Prize, “Innovation” , Kuryokhin Award, plus a premium creators themselves “Companion” – about her fate, by the way, will tell Anton Litvin April 29 at the NCCA), and a very specific financial contribution to the prosperity and development of Fine Arts of the art market. But it’s not just about who has the purse tighter as you might think, but about whose project weightier. However, in any case, the quality of projects is difficult to quantify.
In the “personal contribution” were named four heroes: Alexey Ananiev, Viktor Vekselberg, Andrei Filatov, Dmitry Hankin. Alexey Ananiev relies on socialist realism, buying and promoting it, including such major exhibitions as “Soviet Sport” in London; he founded the Institute of Russian realist art. Collector and one of the sponsors of the Tretyakov Gallery Andrei Filatov (Foundation Art Russe) also collects Soviet art. He organized the exhibition together with ROSIZO Viktor Popkov in Venice and London, initiated the establishment of the permanent exhibition at the Louvre Museum of Russian Art. And in London is going to create a museum of socialist realism. Thanks to Dmitry Hankin, co-owner of the gallery “Triumph”, was able to place the project “Great Expectations”, well, promised at the Manezh Exhibition Banksy did not happen for reasons beyond the control of the gallery owner.

They were accompanied by the presentation of awards in the category “Restoration of the Year” Vladimir-Suzdal Museum Reserve for the restoration of the frescoes Gury Nikitin (XVII century) in the Holy Transfiguration Cathedral in Suzdal. , Which started in 1968, interrupted more than once because of lack of funding. In 1971-1973 and 1983-1985 he led them Alexander Nekrasov, Vladimir famous art restorer. He did not live to see the completion of the work. And the last two years the restoration was under the command of Vladimir Sarabyanova (interregional research and restoration artistic control). In general, less than a half-century, as the work was completed. The general director Vladimir-Suzdal Museum Reserve Svetlana Melnikova, receiving the prize, said that in the nearest future the museum – the beginning of the restoration of frescoes by Andrei Rublev.
