This expansion encompasses the works of 122 Georgian artists, many of whom had previously been underrepresented within the museum&#8217;s holdings.<\/p><p>This newly acquired collection offers a compelling narrative of the evolution of Georgian art. It prominently features an extensive collection of graphic works created by artists during the 1950s and 1970s, with a specific emphasis on those who played pivotal roles in advancing Georgian graphic art. Additionally, the collection incorporates pieces obtained subsequent to the group exhibition of non-conformist artists at the Sighnaghi Museum.<\/p><p>The most significant additions, however, are paintings from the 1980s and 1990s, marking a pivotal juncture in Georgian painting, signifying a transformative phase. This collection showcases a \u00a0selection of distinct artistic choices that elucidate the unique paths each artist undertook to transcend the constraints of their local environment, thereby amalgamating their personal experiences with contemporary artistic currents.<\/p><p>Notably, the Ministry has acquired works by the modernist artist Valerian Sidamon-Eristavi from the 1930s, including pieces portraying the construction of Baku&#8217;s industrial zone.<\/p><p>Since 2022, the opportunity has arisen to acquire works by renowned artists such as Sergo Kobuladze, Alexander Bazhbeuk-Melikyan, Felix Varlamishvili, and Kirill Zdanevich, as well as sculptures by Rusudan Gachechiladze, Vazha Melikishvili, Karlo Grigolia, and Simon Girkelidze.<\/p><p>The exposing of the new collection of the modern and contemporary Georgian art of the Sh. Amiranashvili State Museum of Fine Art is a gradual process, with the fourth exhibition currently taking place at the Sighnaghi Museum from November 17, 2023, until February 17, 2024.<\/p><p>The exhibition will feature works by: Lali Zambakhidze, Avto Meskhi, Tamaz Varvaridze, Levan Choghoshvili, Gia Edzgveradze, Niniko Morbedadze, Shalva Matuashvili, Niko Tsetskhladze, Karlo Kacharava, Rusudan Petviashvili, Tina Tskhadadze-Ratiani.<\/p><p>The project manager Alexandra Gabunia, coordinator Mariam Dvali, assistants: Irina Shavladze, Valentina Maglakelidze.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the years 2021\u20132022, the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Youth of Georgia undertook a substantial expansion of the Shalva Amiranashvili State Museum of Fine Art&#8217;s collection, focusing on modern and contemporary Georgian art.
