Andrey Grositsky—s exhibition at the pop/off/art Gallery in Berlin — is the first solo European project of one of the best-known representatives of contemporary Russian art of the older, post-war generation. Andrey Grositsky (b. 1934) — one of the reformers of pictorial language, is an artist who in his work has dealt with the issues of the painting after the radical changes in the latter—s language in the 1960s. In the USSR his work developed within the sphere of unofficial art, which was prohibited for public display, along with such figures as Erik Bulatov, Ivan Chuikov, Viktor Pivovarov, Dmitri Prigov and other leading names of Russian art of the second half of the 20th century — beginning of the 21st century. Russian museums had already begun buying Grositsky—s works in the Perestroika era, and his retrospective exhibition was held in 2007 at the State Tretyakov Gallery.
