Sign In to see what this sold for

1924. Ink, pen and colored pencil with cover label glued to blue paper (218 x 295 mm). Appears to be the original wrapper to Fomin's personal booklet of lecture notes (text absent). The front title label is signed and dated and the verso is a neat Futurist drawing on opposite half in ink. Fomin was a Russian architect and educator. He began his career in 1899 in Moscow, working in the Art Nouveau style. After relocating to St. Petersburg in 1905, he became an established master of the Neoclassical Revival movement. Following the Russian Revolution of 1917, he developed a Soviet adaptation of Neoclassicism and became one of the key contributors to an early phase of Stalinist architecture known as Postconstructivism. Fomin trained a new generation of architects at VKhUTEMAS where he presumably delivered this lecture.
