Art exhibition of 16 contemporary Russian artists, residing mainly in Germany. A tribute to Erste Russische Kunstausstellung Berlin 1922.

'On October 15, 1922, the famous First Russian Art Exhibition was opened in the Galerie van Diemen at 21 Unter den Linden in Berlin, featuring works by Marc Chagall, El Lissitzky, Olga Rosanova, Alexander Rodchenko (photographs), Vladimir Tatlin (images), and Kasimir Malevich, who was able to present a number of his paintings to a broad western public.

The exhibition's official host was the Russian Ministry for Information, and it was put together by the artists David Sterenberg, Nathan Altman, and Naum Gabo. The constructivist El Lissitzky designed the catalogue's cover. Due to the positive echo in the press and the large number of visitors (ca. 15,000), the exhibition was prolonged to the end of the year, although it had been planned for a shorter period of time. On the initiative of the International Workers' Assistance, it was conceived as a commercial exhibition; the proceeds were to go to 'Russia's starving.' '

The exhibition was organized by Dialog e.V. and backed by Russian Federation Embassy in Germany, 'Rossotrudnichestvo', Moscow and Russian House of Science and Culture, Berlin [Both were a KGB roof organization in 1920s-1930s and in the days of Cold War].
