Yekaterinburg Gallery of Modern Art

Yekaterinburg Gallery of Modern Art is one of the first private art galleries in the Ural region. It was founded in 2004. The gallery became the first place where a private collection of Ural fine arts was shown. Our main mission is preserving the best works by local artists. Nowadays the collection includes about 1300 paintings, graphics, sculptures and art objects that present the gradual development of Ural art school. Initiated as a space for presentation of Ural art at the turn of the 19th and 20 century, the gallery has expanded its conception and has become an active participant of live art process in the region.
