[Max Pyziur]

Greetings,

Ukrainian Museum NYC: Film – The Desert of Forbidden Art - March 29th 7pm

This incredible story of how the Kyiv-born artist and archaeologist Igor
Savitsky (1915-1984) managed to stash a treasure-trove of banned Soviet
avant-garde art – some 40,000 works, now worth millions of dollars – in a
far-off desert in western Uzbekistan, far from the watchful eyes of the
KGB, has been called "a must-see film for anyone interested in art" by The
Village Voice.

There will be an introduction by Professor Jane Ashton Sharp of Rutgers
University, who has visited the Nukus museum several times.

Odessa-born Tchavdar Georgiev, one of the filmmakers, will take part in a
question-and-answer session via Skype after the screening.

There will also be a reception afterwards.
