Pavel Nikiforov. The Maximalism of Minimalism

On the 75th anniversary of Pavel Nikiforov's birth and marking 25 years of the ASTI Gallery

Pavel Nikiforov was called “a great down-and-out of Russian art”. He was well known, but no one would have called him popular; neither was he successful.

A non-conformist artist, Pavel Nikiforov was one of the noted representatives of Soviet underground art in its Moscow conceptual variant.
