Post lot text

L'artiste et sculpteur russe Leonid Sokov est l'une des figures les plus représentatives du Sots Art. Comme dans l'œuvre Stalin & Marilyn, où sont associées deux figures issues de cultures visuelles de masse idéologiquement opposées, la pratique artistique de Sokov se développe autour de la combinaison de symboles soviétiques et de traditions populaires. Ses œuvres font partie de plusieurs collections institutionnelles majeures, comme le Metropolitan Museum of Art et le Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum de New York et le Centre Georges Pompidou de Paris.
