Description
"Thank you, Andrey Sakharov," print on canvas, limited edition.
Origin: from the collection of the artist's family. Each copy is accompanied by
certificate of authenticity
The painting "Thank you, Andrei Sakharov" (or "Danke, Andrej Sacharow") is a mural by Russian artist Dmitry Vrubel, created in 1990 on the remains of the Berlin Wall in East Berlin.
The work was done in April 1990, shortly after Vrubel's famous fresco "Fraternal Kiss." The artist participated in an exhibition of avant-garde Russian art and decided to put the image directly on the wall, despite the visa restrictions.
The fresco measuring about 7.5 × 3.6 m represents the death mask of Andrei Sakharov, a Soviet physicist, dissident and human rights activist, Nobel Peace Prize laureate (1975). Under the portrait in German is written "Danke, Andrej Sacharow" ("Thank you, Andrei Sakharov"), which became an expression of gratitude for the struggle for human rights and against totalitarianism. This monochrome image in gray tones symbolizes freedom and the end of the Iron Curtain.
The original was in the East Side Gallery until 2009, when the Berlin authorities demanded that the fresco be repainted due to vandalism and weathering. Vrubel created author's repetitions in the painting technique, which were exhibited at auctions and in galleries, for example, at Vladey auctions in Moscow.
The print is presented in two formats: 60 * 80 and 100 * 80.
Presentation
Dmitry Vrubel (1960-2022) is a Russian-German artist, a representative of the Soviet Pop Art movement.
He became famous all over the world thanks to the iconic graffiti "Lord! Help me survive among this mortal love" on the Berlin Wall (1990) - the image of the kiss of Brezhnev and Honecker, which became a symbol of reunited Germany and one of the most recognizable visual images of the 20th century.
Born in Moscow, he studied at the art and graphic faculty of the Moscow State Pedagogical Institute. In the 1980s, he was part of the Moscow underground and the Union of Artists of the USSR.
Since the early 1990s, he lived and worked in Berlin, where he became one of the key representatives of the post-Soviet wave of contemporary art.
Vrubel explored such subjects as power, faith, and human feelings.
His works intertwine politics and history - in the images of leaders and symbols of the era; social and spiritual reflection - the search for meaning in an era of change; as well as irony and grotesque which are characteristic features of Sots Art that turn politics into a myth.
During his career, Dmitry Vrubel held more than 60 personal and collective exhibitions in Russia, Germany, France, the USA and other countries.
Among the largest are the Gospel Project (CHA, Moscow, 2008; PERMM, Perm, 2009), Haus am Lützowplatz (Berlin, 2010), MMOMA (Moscow), and others.
The artist's works are in the collections of the State Tretyakov Gallery, the State Center for Contemporary Art (NCCA), Nationalgalerie Berlin and in private collections around the world.
In 2025, Dmitry Vrubel's prints again aroused the interest of collectors: at Russian auctions they are sold at prices ranging from €2,000 to €15,000, confirming the growing interest in the artist's legacy.
In international trading, including Sotheby's, his work also showed a multiple increase in value.
