Lot 0456: LARGE ALBUM BY KABAKOV THE DECORATOR MALIGIN SIGNED

41 reviews

Ilya Kabakov, Russian, b. 1933, The Decorator Maligin, a Complete Album No. 8 from 10 Characters Series, 1995 art print album from 1970-1975 original. 72 total color photocopied prints mounted on cardboard in a hard case, 22 mounted on grey paper. Signed in pencil by Ilya Kabakov, dated and numbered 10 of 200 on introduction insert lower left, edition of 2/20; each lithograph signed and dated in plate lower right. Note: In the 1970s, Ilya Kabakov began creating his first albums, each of which presented the story of a Soviet eccentric, often living in a communal apartment. It was from these works that the famous series “10 Characters” would later be formed, in which the artist would embody one of his most striking techniques – creating works on behalf of fictional people. These fictional authors, who became the main characters in the series, would later migrate to Kabakov’s famous installations. Rare Facsimile Editions, Home Library Specimen Collectibles.
