Book Description
In the 1960s and 1970s, an American professor of Soviet economics forayed on his
own in the Soviet Union, bought the work of underground "unofficial" artists,
and brought it out himself or arranged to have it illegally shipped to the
United States. Norton Dodge visited the apartments of unofficial artists in at
least a dozen geographically scattered cities. By 1977, he had a thousand works
of art. His ultimate window of interest involved the years from 1956 to 1986,
and through his established contacts he eventually acquired another eight
thousand works--by far the largest collection of its kind.
