Ilya Kabakov: A Return to Painting. 1961–2011

This richly illustrated catalogue accompanies the artist's return to painting, presenting a selection of 60 canvases and three models for unfinished installations created between 1961 and 2011. The book explores how Kabakov's paintings reflect deeply personal experiences, interweaving memories from his childhood in Stalinist Soviet Union with later contemplations on history, memory, and the complexities of Soviet and post‑Soviet life. Published to accompany the exhibition at Sprengel Museum Hannover, 29 January — 6 May 2012.
