Provenance Acquired directly from the artist in Moscow Collection of Eric Peschler, Switzerland Thence by descent to the present owner Literature Eric A. Peschler, *Studios of Moscow Contemporary Drawings / Ateliers de Moscou Dessins Contemporains*, Enrico Navarra, 1992, p. 101, illustrated One of the most prominent representatives of unofficial Soviet art, Vladimir Nemukhin developed a distinctive artistic language rooted in abstraction and metaphysics. Beneath the apparent simplicity of his works lies a profound philosophical depth. A decisive turning point in Nemukhin’s artistic career came with his adoption of playing cards as a principal means of expression. In 1965, cards—which attracted the artist through their ‘intriguing geometric qualities’—became the foundation of a concept that remained central to his practice throughout his life. The geometric clarity and formal simplicity of the playing card, together with the symbolic associations of chance and gambling, enabled Nemukhin to create works in which the illusory and the timeless intertwine with reality.
