An exhibition of the outstanding master of geometric abstraction, the first Russian minimalist Alexandr Yulikov, has opened at the Tretyakov Gallery on Krymsky Val.

Yulikov's work invariably contains a peculiar view of space: by means of complex techniques the artist compels the plane of the canvas to change its outlines and boundaries, and from one work to the next he alters the superficial perception.
