| CA-NEWS (KZ) - Christie's presents a special and unique loan exhibition, Treasures of Kazakhstan - Exhibition of Kazakh and Russian Art from the Kasteev Museum and a Distinguished Kazakh Private Collection at its headquarters in London from 1-8 September 2010.
This selection of masterpieces of Kazakh and Russian art of the twentieth century will enable visitors to discover artistic developments that have taken place in Kazakhstan over the last 80 years. 75 extraordinary works that have never before been exhibited outside Kazakhstan will be shown, including important works from the museum's permanent collection, complimented by works from a private collection. In celebration of its 75th anniversary the museum is currently undergoing refurbishment which has provided an unprecedented opportunity for Christie's to bring masterpieces from the Kasteev Museum to London. All the works will be returned to the Museum following the exhibition and will be available for public viewing in the newly opened museum's pavilions in early 2011.
"Christie's is extremely proud to have been entrusted with the opportunity to hold an exhibition of Kazakh and Russian masterpieces from the Kasteev Museum in our main rooms in London, the company's headquarters. This exhibition will be the latest addition to the 240 year long tradition of showcasing international artistic talent to a wide audience at Christie's," said David Linley, Chairman, Christie's UK.
The Kasteev State Museum of Arts in Almaty was founded in 1935 and renamed after the renowned Kazakh artist Abylkhan Kasteev in 1984.
