Description
Andre Ruzhnikov, one of the world’s pre-eminent dealers in Russian art and antiques, grew up in central Moscow during Khruschev’s Thaw, secretly listening to the BBC and Voice of America for news of the free world. He sold his first icon to a British journalist in 1968, and quit the USSR in 1976 – settling first near Oxford with his English wife, then moving to California, where he first came across the work of Ivan Vladimirov in the Hoover Library at Stanford University; he has since assembled his own collection of thirty-eight works from Vladmirov’s Red Terror period. In 2004 Ruzhnikov brokered the sale of the Forbes Collection of Fabergé Imperial Easter Eggs – now on show at the Fabergé Museum in St Petersburg. From 2005 to 2010 he was a partner in Aurora Fine Arts, and in 2012 moved to London – where Ruzhnikov Fine Art & Antiques (www.ruzhnikov.com) continues to deal in Fabergé, icons and other Russian works of art.
