Andrew Varlamov: Gallery of Tretyakov Behind the scene : how this panorama was made On 1st day of every month I tried to shot photographs of exhibition opening in narrow hall of Gallery of Tretyakov crowded by journalists, spectators, collectors and artists. Light is complex enough - tungsten lamps on ceiling, over-exposed walls, under-exposed center of hall, daylight from window and door. It is appartment on the ground floor reconstructed into art gallery. Such is destiny of private art galleries in Saint-Petersburg - to live in ground floors or below - in cellars or semi-cellars. The gallery was founded in 2004 by Vitaly Tretyakov, famous postcard collector and expert. Gallery is specialized on contemporary Russian art. The great dream of Vitaly Tretyakov is to organize grand exhibition "Russian Artistic Dynasties" at the State Tretyakov Gallery. Every year in his gallery there were organized some exhibitions devoted to artistic dynasties of Saint-Peterburg : Reykhet, Savenko-Maslennikova, Proshkin, Levitin, Bekaryan. It's the last day of month today, when new exhibition is mounted for next month and gallery is closed for visitors. Usually somebody came to help artist in exhibition mounting, and Petr Reykhet invited painter Nikolay Savenko, his friend and neighbour by workshop on Pesochnaya embankment. Now it is pause in mounting, Nikolay Savenko is sitting to rest, but Petr Reykhett debates details of master-class for 4th Christmas Art Fair with Vitaly Tretyakov. Behind them there is person, name of whom i don't know, but I can say that he is collector of Reykhet paintings. Nickolay Savenko paintings will be exhibited here in February 2006. It will be his second exhibition at Gallery of Tretyakov. The first exhibition was named "Russian Field" and was collected from paintings of Nickolay Savenko and Ivan Saneko, his father. In conclusion let me say some words about shoting conditions: 6 shot horizontally, 1 shot zenith, WB=Tungsten lamps, sensitivity = ISO 800, shutter speed=1/60 sec, apperture = f/3.5. Floor tiles permitted me to recover black hole under tripod. Return
