PROVENANCE Gregory Gallery, New York, NY
LOT NOTES Vladimir Nemukhin`s works frequently feature references to two leaders of the Russian Avant-Garde movement, Mikhail Larionov and Kazimir Malevich. The title of this artwork suggests Larionov`s group "Jack of Diamonds." Malevich, whose pupil, Pyotr Sokolov was a highly influential figure for Nemukhin`s artistic development, was also a member of the "Jack of Diamonds" group and a participant in the 1913 Target exhibition.
