Expert opinion by Alan Penzler
The generation of the “Sixties” is reflected in the works of Viktor Zaretsky, Alla Gorskaya, Igor Grigoriev, Anatoly Lymarev, Viktor Grigorov, and Vudon Baklitsky – artists who combined academic mastery with the search for new imagery. The block of classical Ukrainian art is occupied by landscapes by Hryhorii Svitlytskyi, Stepan Kolesnikov, Petro Levchenko, Serhii Shyshko, and Pavlo Horobets. A special place is occupied by the works of Abram Manevych, David Burliuk, Vasyl Khmeliuk, Liuboslav Hutsaliuk, Grigory Kruk, and Oleksiy Gryshchenko, whose works integrate Ukrainian culture into the global artistic context, as well as Maria Prymachenko and Ivan Marchuk, who continue to break auction records and represent Ukrainian culture around the world.
