Novikov Timur

1958-2002

Timur Novikov is one of the leaders of the Saint Petersburg (Leningrad then) underground art scene, the founder of New Academy of Fine Arts and of the “New composers” group. He belongs to the Perestroika generation that saw the moment of transition from one era to another. Values dashingly reshaped, there was little left of the giant soviet experiment, and the artists manipulated with the images of the passed time, trying to show their interpretation of past and present.
