From the “grand master” Chingiz Ahmarov, born before the 1917 Revolution, to his granddaughter Shaknow Abdullayeva, and the powerful works of Korean artist Nikolai Shin, to the elegant clarity of Uighur Lakin lbragimov, the selection of artwork is stunning.

Fifty-three artists are represented with over ninety pieces in different media – from sculpture to oils, to watercolours and etchings.
