Tour of the Dreams of Freedom: Romanticism in Russia and Germany exhibition at the Tretyakov Gallery

Noôdome invites you to join a tour of the Dreams of Freedom: Romanticism in Russia and Germany exhibition at the Tretyakov Gallery. This is the largest exhibition on romanticism in the Tretyakov’s history. It is being held in collaboration with the Dresden State Art Collection and is the first large-scale attempt to show German and Russian art of the romantic era in one space.

The exhibition brings together works by major artists of the first quarter of the nineteenth century — Caspar David Friedrich, Philipp Otto Runge, Johann Friedrich Overbeck, Alexander Ivanov, Alexei Venetsianov, Orest Kiprensky, and Karl Bryulov — as well as projects by twenty-first century artists whose works give particularly clear expression to the romantic impulse: Guido van der Werve, James Turrell, Bill Viola, Jaan Toomik, Nikolai Polissky, Hiroshi Sugimoto, Andrei Kuzkin, Susan Philipsz, and Wolfgang Tillmans.

More than 300 works will reveal the romantic trend in art in all its many facets. Among these are around 200 paintings, drawings, archive materials, and unique exhibits from dozens of German and Russian collections.
After the tour we invite you to enjoy cocktails in Noôdome’s experimental space and to share your impressions of the exhibition on the most beautiful terrace in the city.
