Catalogue Note
Vladimir Nikolaevich Bashkirov was the director of the Volga Kamskii Bank in Nizhnii-Novgorod, prior to the Russian Revolution. He emigrated to the United States in 1919 and was one of the few Russian emigrés who was able to retain his fortune in the post-1917 turmoil. Bashkirov was a very serious collector of Russian avante-garde art, who benefited from the advice and friendship of Mikhail Larionov. Together, they created one of the most important collections of Russian art.
