To honor one of Ukraine’s most remarkable modern artists, Anatoly Kryvolap, Mironova Gallery has presented the first limited edition collection of decorative collectors’ plates bearing prints of the painter’s most significant artworks. Each plate is labeled with a unique number, evidencing the limitidness. The collection is planned to be annually replenished with the new plates based on Kryvolap’s paintings. This collaboration is in line with the world’s trend “living in art”. The tradition of creating and collecting dinnerware, decorated with reproductions of masterpieces by world’s greatest artists, has been in the air for ages. Nowadays, leading porcelain and ceramics manufacturers strive to make contracts with famous artists or their heirs for the purpose of designing and crafting unique limited edition collections. This has a most positive impact on the companies’ reputation and gives household items artistic value. Dinnerware bearing reproductions of artworks by Kuns, Chagall, Hirst, Rauschenberg can be found in special art shops and are exhibited along with original paintings. An art admirer might acquire a work by his favorite painter if not on canvas then on exquisite decorative collectors’ plate. These derivative art-objects can make a valuable collection.
