Zverev center of contemporary art, Contemporary art museum in Basmanny District, Moscow, Russia.
The Zverev Center for Contemporary Art is a non-commercial art centre named after Anatoly Zverev, a classic of the "second Russian avant-garde". Since 1998 it has run its own exhibition hall and a summer yard used for concerts, performances and other current art practices. Its programme covers exhibitions of contemporary authors, poetry evenings and literary festivals.
The center was founded in 1992 and named after Anatoly Zverev, a Russian artist whose works gained international recognition in the 1960s. Its establishment marked a turning point for acknowledging artistic movements that emerged during the Soviet period.
The center displays works by artists who worked against the Soviet mainstream and sought new creative directions. Visitors can see how this artistic resistance took form and what themes motivated the creators.
The center provides information about current exhibitions on its website, where visitors can keep track of ongoing and upcoming events. It helps to check the website before visiting to plan the best times and see what exhibitions are available.
The center preserves a personal collection of Anatoly Zverev's works, including paintings created when independent artists worked in secrecy. This collection shows the artistic energy of a time when such works could not be displayed publicly.
