Kazymyr Malevych is one more Ukrainian name hidden under the russian label.
His rare early work, Head of a Peasant (1911), will be offered at Sotheby’s on June 24.
Estimate: £1–1.5 million (about $1.35–2 million).
I want the world to see where these names come from.
Kyiv.
A calm scene by the Dnipro River an hour ago.
An air raid alert now.
One or more drones over the city.
There is a Belgian Alley in the centre of Kyiv.
Recently, a sculpture by Oleksii Stepanov, “Ukrainian Shield,” was installed there.
Hands in the colours of the Ukrainian flag hold a Belgian house, a symbol of cosy Europe.
The hands are pierced by real bullets from the front line.
Greetings from Kyiv.
I invite you to join me for warcoffee.
It is another writing day.
Now coffee and the city outside.
