Interview with Director of the Liechtenstein National Gallery

Abstract

We are pleased to present an interview with Director of the Liechtenstein National Gallery Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein, Dr. Malsch Friedemann Dr. Friedmann Malsch, has been cooperating with Russia for more than 15 years in organizing and conducting exhibitions, preparing publications. He is actively engaged in educational and publishing activities. In 2018, with the support of the Liechtenstein Museum, a translation of the book dedicated to the Black Square painting by Kazimir Malevich was released. At the presentation, Friedman Malsch called this book a publication that turns the prevailing ideas about the icon of Suprematism. The architecture of the new building of the Liechtenstein State Museum in Vaduz, which opened in 2000, interprets in its own way the plastic idea of Suprematism, the idea of a black square. The creation of the Swiss architects Meinrad Morger, Heinrich Degelo and Christian Kerez with a very complex and extensive internal infrastructure from the outside is a combination of two laconic volumes: a white and black cube. Material for the construction is taken from the vicinity of the city. We thank Dr., Professor Alexander Lavrentiev for professional support and assistance in arranging the interview with Dr. Malsch Friedemann
