217 Seiten, zahlr. Abb. Very good, fresh copy. Cover with small signs of wear. - Georgy Frangulyan has an acute sensitivity for the spaces of a city that has lost a considerable part of its built history, tha to the wholesale demolition of churches and other neighborhood-defining buildings in the 1930s. All cities evolve, bu the case of Moscow, with the architectural depredations of the Soviet government's anti-clerical campaign, around ha the city's churches were destroyed. Most others were "repurposed." Combined with the imperial architecture of Stalin and Khrushchev's adoption of modernism as an antidote to his predecessor's architectural "excesses," Moscow char beyond recognition in the course of sixty years. And that's before the icing on the cake: postmodernism (without the hum of the post-Soviet period that blighted the capital during Yuri Luzhkov's eighteen-year tenure as mayor.2 Luzhkov ush in a period of overblown public sculpture in Moscow, most of it produced by Georgian-born Zurab Tsereteli (b. 1934) enormous Peter the Great monument (1997) on the Moscow River annoys Muscovites to this day.3 Although public sculpture is (at least potentially) a lucrative option for Russian artists, it brings with it a level of closer scr than that which artists exhibiting in museums and galleries receive. Frangulyan is a well-known sculptor, and he could e have played it safe, making works that would "fit." Yet he was prepared to take risks, depicting famous subjects in unfan intriguing ways. The sculptor's sensitivity to Moscow's spaces was a rare attribute among those artists making interven in the city in recent times. Andrew Foxall, a specialist in Russian and Eurasian studies, suggested that Russia's "statues have long occupied a ce role in political life as they have been one of the few spaces of contestation and demonstration. "4 He cited St. Petersb Bronze Horseman, associated with the Decembrists,5 and Moscow's Pushkin monument, which has long been a ma for protestors and is now heavily policed. Frangulyan's works do not attract demonstrators, but they do identify spac architectural contestation-the unsettled remnants of the 1,000-year-old city-inviting the viewer to ponder each scul and its site as a whole, while often not knowing why they feel impelled to do so. Frangulyan's monument to the poet Joseph Brodsky stands on Moscow's Garden Ring. Today, "garden" is a misno at this point, Moscow's ring road is eight lanes wide. The monument is set back from the ring road at the edge of a pa feeder road, but even so Brodsky is recognizable to those driving past, as he stands in silhouette looking to the sky. T a monument to one of Russia's beloved poets, who was forcibly exiled from the Soviet Union in 1972 and never retu The monument triggers various contestations, both political and architectural. One example: most viewers will know there was competition between Moscow and St. Petersburg, the capital and the northern capital, for a monument.(from the preface) / Prefaces -- Prologue -- Introduction -- Becoming the Artist -- The Off-Modern -- Monuments -- Scaled Sculptures -- Vignettes -- Chronology -- Notes -- Primary Sources -- Index -- Acknowledgments -- Contributors.
