Grisha Bruskin (b. 1945; Russian born American Artist) graduated from the Art Department at the Moscow Textile Institute in 1968. The following year he became a member of the Soviet Artists’ Union and had three exhibitions which were all closed by the Soviet authorities. A key opportunity presented itself in 1988 when his painting, Fundamental Lexicon, was sold in Moscow at Sotheby’s first Russian Avant-Garde and Soviet Contemporary Art auction in 1988. This brought him to the attention of the international art world and ignited his career. In 1999 Bruskin was chosen to represent Russia with a permanent installation at the redesigned Reichstag, Berlin. In 2017, Bruskin represented Russia in the 57th Venice Biennale, Italy. Selected public collections include: The Museum of Modern Art, The Jewish Museum, NY, the Art Institute of Chicago, Museum Ludwig, State Tretyakov Gallery, Russian Museum, St. Petersburg, State Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts, Moscow, Israel Museum, Jerusalem. Public Commissions include Visage, sculpture, City of Raanana, Israel.
