ARTISTS BIO: IGOR KONONOV
Born: Moscow 1931-2011.
Sculptor, artist, engraver, and printmaker, Igor Kononov was born in Moscow, Russia in 1931. He received his first formal art training studying with Kravchenko, then at the Moscow Art Institute. While still a student, Igor married Natalya Prager, the daughter of the famous Russian painter Vladimir Prager. A few years later, they had their first and only son. Igor's early exhibitions (1960-1970) were not limited to the Soviet Union but spread across Canada (Montreal), and even Japan (Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto) received three honorary awards. These precipitated diplomas (best book illustrator, best painting, etc.). In 1975, Igor was deprived of his Soviet citizenship and emigrated to the United States with his family. After living a few years in New York City, they finally settled across the Hudson river in New Jersey. Since his arrival his original etchings and collagraphs have met with resounding success and can be found in galleries throughout the country, including the prestigious Hammer Gallery in New York. To insure fidelity to his concepts, Mr. Kononov personally pulls all of his own prints. Most Prominent Exhibitions: 155th Annual Exhibition of the National Academy of Design, 1083 Fifth Avenue, New YorkARTEXPO-NY (multiple years), New York Coliseum Somerset Art Association, BedminsterDow Jones & Co., Inc. (The Wall Street Journal), Princeton Raphael Gallery, Newton Winsor Gallery, Warren Jane Richards Gallery, Fort Lee (joined exhibit with Salvador Dali). Kononov's works can now be found in private collections.
