The Museum of Modern Art of Ukraine
The Museum of Modern Art of Ukraine was founded in a historical part of Kyiv with a small collection, which belonged to known businessman and patron of arts Serhii Tsiupko, first exhibited there. It mainly comprised of non-figurative paintings by contemporary Ukrainian artists. Later, a logical desire to widen the time and geographical range of the collection appeared, still concentrating on Ukrainian art of the second half of the XX century, which unfortunately is much underrepresented in Ukrainian museums. When the number of artworks, their authors and represented artistic directions significantly increased, a decision to ‘museumficate’ the collection was made.
