This special project is formed from the works, which have been provided for the exhibition by more than 40 largest Ukrainian collectors. The selection of the most iconic works from the private collections will present a cross section of the Ukrainian art of the second half of the 1980s until nowadays. The collectors contribution in the context of preservation of works of art is difficult to overestimate, at the same time their demonstration in the public space remains of considerable significance – the contemplation and understanding of the art works ceases to be a collector’s exclusive right, and becomes public. “The uniqueness of the “Museum Collection” project is mainly in its holistic, systematic, and panoramic view into historical retrospection as well as historical dynamics. With its impressive scope, the exhibition at Mystetskyi Arsenal not only introduces a certain number of iconic figures, but also intends to capture the big picture of the contemporary Ukrainian art in its entirety”, - says the project’s curator Oleksandr Solovyov.
