At Moni Lazariston, the home of the Costakis Collection, works of the Russian Avant-Garde are presented in the two central exhibition halls, into thematic sections, and in accordance with a selection of works of the artists participating in the main programme. In the basement, two rooms are devoted to the various movements of the Russian Avant-Garde art, while at the same time the interaction of other expressions of art -poetry, theatre, music, cinema, architecture- with the visual arts is pointed out. Within this framework the phenomenon of the organic composition of the arts, characterizing broadly the period of the Russian Avant-Garde, is presented together with the inexhaustible inspiration, the dominant and perpetual character of the art of this period.
