Gamborg Gallery on-line exhibition: Soviet electrification.

My dear friend Allan Gamborg, who hails from Arhus, Denmark, and formerly made his late and much lamented orange couch in Copenhagen available to me on too many occasions during my youthful European jaunts, currently is an art dealer in Moscow. He sent me this e-mail earlier today, and I thought I'd share it.

Allan's taste for art of this nature is simply incredible.

Dear Friends,

We have a series of new exhibitions on the Gamborg Gallery on the web:

THEMES:
Electrification of the Whole Country - http://russianart.dk/exhibition.asp?e=293
One of the more famous quotes by Lenin is “Communism equals Soviet power plus the electrification of the whole country” (Коммунизм - это советская власть плюс электрификация всей страны). The slogan was used from the 1930s and through the 1960s when bringing electricity to the remote regions through the construction of hydro power plants for example in Bratsk, and nuclear power plants. In the arts, the slogan was illustrated in posters, prints and oil paintings
