They often accomplish this by integrating the visual culture of the former Soviet Union from the 1950s to '70s--from dreary communal apartments to propaganda art and its highly optimistic depictions of Soviet life--into the lexicon of art history. In doing so, their work addresses universal themes of utopia, fantasy and hope, as well as fear and oppression.\u003cbr\u003eAccompanying the exhibition at Dallas Contemporary, this clothbound volume features their most recent body of work, which resembles an outdated and rundown museum, incorporating never-before-seen paintings, interactive works and installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Ilya Kabakov\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 3735608191\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9783735608192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Kerber Verlag\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/30\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 142\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.60h x 10.30w x 0.80d","brand":"Ilya Kabakov","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44128402669823,"sku":"9783735608192","price":98.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_734aa6e6-11bd-419f-92d5-ca5a0d7001a4.jpg?v=1687458520","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ilya-and-emilia-kabakov-ilya-kabakov-9783735608192","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
