Many of them have long been considered lost or remained completely unknown in their homeland. The exhibition in the "New Manege" gives a unique chance to meet the highest artistic level of things. 

The range of new acquisitions of the gallery is wide - from "Portrait of the Minister of Justice P. D. Troshchinsky" by Vladimir Borovikovsky, variants of which are in the collections of the State Tretyakov Gallery and the Art Museum in Sumy to work "Otherworldly reality" by Ilya Kabakov, published in 1977 in the famous monograph Alexander Glaser "Soviet Art in Exile". However, the most powerful and impressive unit consists of the works of artists of the XIX-XX centuries. An important role in the exhibition of paintings from David Burliuk, including his works of the Japanese period, is virtually unknown in Russia.
