In 1994, the famous German collectors Peter and Irene Ludwig donated their collection of artworks of the second half of the 20th century to the Russian Museum. This gift formed the basis of the permanent exhibition “The Ludwig Museum at the Russian Museum” at the Marble Palace.
This exhibition is the only place in Russia with works of Russian and foreign contemporary art from the post-war period to the early 21st century.
The collection introduces the viewers to the works of Pop Art (“Ruins” by Roy Lichtenstein, “Portrait of Peter Ludwig” by Andy Warhol), Hyperrealism (“Unadilla Diner” by Ralph Goings), German Neo-Expressionism (“Bottle and Eagle” by Georg Baselitz, “Style: Eurydice” by Markus Lüpertz), Neoclassicism (“Madonna” by Claudio Bravo) and Conceptual art (“The Garden” by Ilya Kabakov).
Exhibits are marked with AR stickers for identification purposes.
