Exhibition about Savitsky opens at Tashkent City Mall

A multimedia exhibition titled “Savitsky’s Diaries: Old and New” has opened at Tashkent City Mall, dedicated to the life and artistic legacy of Igor Savitsky — an artist, collector and founder of the State Museum of Arts of the Republic of Karakalpakstan in Nukus. The project is organized by the Art and Culture Development Foundation of Uzbekistan, with Aziza Izamova serving as curator. The exhibition combines painting, music, light and movement, offering visitors a fresh look at the art of 20th-century Central Asia.

Savitsky’s legacy and practical information

The project pays special attention to Savitsky’s role in preserving Uzbekistan’s artistic heritage: thanks to his many years of work in Nukus, a unique collection was formed, including works of the Russian and Turkestan avant-garde as well as Central Asian artists. According to Gazeta, this collection today holds an important place in the region’s cultural heritage and is of interest to the international art community. The exhibition will run until January 24, 2027: from Monday to Thursday it is open from 10:00 to 23:00, and from Friday to Sunday from 10:00 to 00:00. Tickets cost 40,000 soums from Monday to Wednesday and 60,000 soums from Friday to Sunday; on Thursdays admission is free on a first-come, first-served basis. Schoolchildren, students and pensioners receive a 50% discount when purchasing at iTicket box offices, while students of special colleges and boarding schools enter free of charge.

The project’s second venue

This is not the first showing of the exhibition in the capital: in March 2024, “Savitsky’s Diaries. Old and New” was presented at the Uzexpocentre. Now the project has moved to Tashkent City Mall, where it will run for almost three months.
