Exhibitions of private collections always arouse my interest. If only because there are few such exhibitions. This collection focuses on conceptual art and surveys the changing face of the portrait from the beginning of the last century to the present day through photographs, drawings, sculpture, video installations and paintings by leading international and Israeli artists.

Yigal Ahuvi's collection consists of more than 1500 works, and is the largest in Israel. The fifth series of exhibitions features works by Diane Arbuz, Andy Warhol, Marlene Dumas, Richard Prince, Amadeo Modigliani, Frank Aurbach and many others.

All works deliver not only aesthetic pleasure, but also inspire. For example, when I saw a photo of Ingmar Bergman's muse Liv Ullman, I immediately wanted to watch the film Persona with her participation, because it is impossible to stop looking at her.

It is worth noting that the vernissage was attended not only by artists, but also by local representatives of secular society, which is rare for such events. Among the guests one could meet producer Moti Raif, model Galit Gutman, as well as Anna Bukshtein and Michal Anski.

And, despite the fact that there were a lot of people around, we managed to get to know each other and ask a few questions to the curator of the exhibition, Matan Daube.

Matan started his career as an art critic for the portal Time Out Tel Aviv, and then took a direct part in the creation of the art fair .

Tell us a little about your path.

I am currently in London most of the time working with the largest and most prominent private art collection in Israel. I am also one of the regular organizers of the Fresh Paint fair.

— When did the collection start to take shape?
— Only in 2004. The collection is currently exhibited in Tel Aviv, London and Geneva. We are not faced with the task of promoting art, we want to diversify the life of the Israeli audience.

Where will the next exhibition take place?
I don't know, anywhere in the world.

— What should be the first step of a curator who wants to make an exhibition?
- First of all, he needs to understand for whom he is doing this, who will come to it, and who will be able to enjoy it.

Do you personally collect works of art?
— Yes, I collect, mostly the artists and galleries I work with donate their work to me.

The following 10 old photos are published online for the first time and open a new section of our magazine. The presented photographic materials have not yet been published on the Internet, newspapers and magazines and book publications. It is known that "a picture is worth ten thousand words", and the emotion born by it is even more expensive. On the other hand, hundreds of thousands of unattributed, taken out of context, photographs without captions and accompanying information daily pour into the network, becoming, alas, "information garbage" that can be individual cases, to admire, but which, gives nothing "neither to the heart nor mind."

Our first 10 photos relate to the history of the "bear corner of the Moscow region" - the village of Fryanovo. Unique photographic materials are presented in the exposition of the Historical and Local Lore Museum of the Moscow Region Middle educational school No. 2, which, it is worth noting, is not so easy to visit. The selection of photographs is rather random, but is provided with excerpts from the memoirs of local residents that have not been published before ...

The above photograph has been attributed as "Gendarme Directorate of Bogorodsk District". However, it is known that such an institution did not exist. There was a "Moscow provincial gendarmerie department", from which the affairs of the Bogorodsky and Dmitrovsky districts were in charge of the assistant chief of the Guba. Gendarmerie Directorate (in 1909, for example, captain Nikolai Pavlovich Martynov). Most likely, the photograph shows the head clerks of the County Police Department (police bailiffs of five camps of the county, police guards in the city of Bogorodok, Pavlovsky Posad and two factories - the Bogorodsko-Glukhovskaya m-re and the f-ke Tov-va L. Rabenek in Shchelkovo). The photo is not dated.
___________
Hint: the photograph shows the lower ranks of the army infantry in the uniforms of the 1882 model (until 1907): three ensigns in the positions of sergeant major, two sergeants, two non-combatants of the senior rank (most likely clerks) and one corporal. They have nothing to do with the gendarmerie or the police.

Signature: "The oldest wooden building in the village of Fryanovo. XVI century." The last "chicken hut" with an earthen floor in the Shchelkovsky district, built in the 18th century and "surviving" until 1981/1985, was described in the book of architects-restorers Boris Pimenovich Zaitsev and Petr Petrovich Pinchukov "Solar Patterns: Wooden Architecture of the Moscow Region", published in 1978 [ Download.]. Monument wooden architecture was planned to be transferred to the Moscow Regional local history museum(since 1991 - "Historical-Architectural and Historical-Artistic Museum "New Jerusalem"), located in the city of Istra on the territory adjacent to the New Jerusalem Monastery. The hut was bought from the owner, dismantled, but the 90s prevented its assembly in the museum. The hut was irretrievably lost.

A unique photograph of the inhabitants of the village of Fryanovo near Moscow - participants in the Russian-Japanese war of 1904-1905. - three brothers - Stepan, Ivan and Kuzma Starikov ( from left to right).

A rare photograph signed "Management of the Zalogins' Fryanovsky factory (before the revolution)". Possibly, the photograph (before 1917) was taken on the territory of the Fryanovsk Worsted and Spinning Factory. You can see in the photo Sergei Ivanovich Stavrovsky (1870-1924) - the manager of the factory since 1912 (compare) - in the top row in the center of the stairs, and the engineer of the French department of the factory, Germain Albertovich Glintsig (1885-1967) - fifth from the left after 4 ladies.

An interesting photo, presumably, of the participants of one of the many theatrical performances drama circle organized by S.I. Stavrovsky. The photograph is signed "The intelligentsia of the village of Fryanovo (until 1917)". Dating it before 1917 is highly questionable.

"The troupe of the drama circle of the village of Fryanovo. In the center is the son-in-law of the manufacturer Zalogin, Stavrovsky." According to the priceless memoirs of Vasily Kuraev, a Fryanovsky factory partner, the famous Russian theater director Konstantin Sergeevich Alekseev (Stanislavsky) (1863-1938), who came to Fryanovo, "was pleased" with the performances of the Fryanovo factory theater. The participants of the drama circle were: Ignatov Nikolai Mikhailovich, Urvantsev Ivan Petrovich, Chernikov Ivan Grigorievich, Loginov Vasily Mikhailovich, Kruglushina Olimpiada Nikolaevna, Batenina Maria Sergeevna, Kuraeva Maria [Marina?] Nikolaevna, Urvantseva Zinaida Mikhailovna, Butylkin Mikhail, Barinov Ivan Alekseevich, Abrosimov Ivan Andreevich, Soboleva Anna Georgievna. Also, sometimes her brother Sobolev Mikhail Georgievich took part in children's roles.

The caption under the photo: "1924. Komsomol meeting. At this meeting the first pioneer detachment was created." Presumably future pioneers on background sit and stand on the railing of the veranda on the south side of the wooden estate Fryanovo, which has survived to this day. On the other hand, the general configuration wooden structures raises doubts about what has been said, or indicates significant restructuring of this time in part of the southern portico.

According to the memoirs of Vasily Kuraev, the organization of the first pioneer detachment in Fryanovo took place in 1924 as follows: “Aleksey Ivachkin was a pioneer leader who completed a two-month course for athletes, but things didn’t work out for him. The first pioneer leader was Alexei Stulov as a public assignment. was big and to help him the second pioneer leader was Anna Kuraeva-Rezchikova. When she got married, the pioneers turned to the secretary of the Komsomol cell Gvozdarev to forbid him to marry, and she worked as a pioneer leader. Soon they sent Ivanov Sergey as a pioneer leader.

According to the memoirs of one of the first pioneers Fryanova: “At that time we were 12-14 years old, and this was in the 20s, and there were about fifteen of us such boys [s]. These are: Bulanov V., Beschastnov A. , Karpov N., Vorobyov V., Abrosimov B., Aksentiev N., Gruzdevs M. and S., Dolgov F. etc. We all studied at school, and free time spent on the street, most of all in the so-called Yendava, where they played the game of war. We had home-made rifles, sabers, skis were made from old boards from barrels. In the summer, they gathered near Uncle Sergey's Batenin's house and listened to fairy tales from evening until late at night, and such that it was scary to go home, and he was a great master of telling fairy tales. Well, with the onset of the ripening time of the fruits, the hunt began for other people's gardens, where after our invasion there was almost nothing left. We were led by A. Ivachkin, about five years older than us. This continued until 1922. On the initiative of Komsomol member S. Rezchikov - "Spartak" (the name Spartak was given to him for his active work in the Komsomol), A. Ivachkin organized us into a pioneer detachment. In the palace of the workers (the former estate of the factory owners Zalogins), we were given a room with the name "Pionerskaya", where we spent time, mostly engaged in drill training. Then our group began to grow rapidly. The girls started coming in."

One of the painless ways to become famous by landing on the pages of the Guinness Book of Records is to collect something that no one has collected before you (or collected, but not seriously). When choosing items for the collection, you need to make sure that these are not back scratchers or umbrella covers, not petrified and not miniature, with which we will begin this review.

Collection of microchairs

In the late 1990s, American Barbara Hartsfield developed a weekend hobby. It was not just shopping, but the search in stores for chairs of a miniature size - one on which it is not fate for a person to sit, but not puppet ones either. By 2008, Barbara had collected three thousand interesting miniatures. Now lovers of tiny furniture have the right to contemplate the accumulated in the museum created by the collector, in the city of Stone Mountain (Georgia), paying $ 5 for a ticket. The museum operates in a specially restored old house with three exhibition halls. The exhibition includes, for example, chairs inside bottles and bird feeders, chairs made from toothpicks and microfurniture from the Coca-Cola company.

Collection of umbrella covers

Until proven otherwise, a resident american state Maine can be considered the only inspired collector of umbrella cases in the world. Her name is Nancy Hoffman. In 2012, the Guinness Book of Records was enriched with a chapter about her collection, which included 730 cases of various colors and styles from 50 countries. And since 1996, Mrs. Hoffman's house has served as a museum open to all the curious. And while visitors marvel at the unique display, Nancy, an unmarried musician, plays the song "Let a Smile Be Your Umbrella" on the accordion, the official anthem of the private museum.

Fossilized poop collection

George Frandsen is the Indiana Jones of ancient shit, in his possession are 1277 samples of so-called coprolites, natural history objects valuable to paleontologists, which have long smelled of nothing. In the summer of 2016, the 37-year-old Frandsen's collection landed in the Guinness Book, after which it was handed over to the Museum of South Florida for a thematic exhibition worth visiting - which will last until October of this year.

Museum guests can admire fossilized poop from 8 countries of the Earth and 15 states of America. Of particular value is National treasure- a two-kilogram excrement of a prehistoric crocodile, jokingly nicknamed "our charm" (remember Gollum). Crocodile filth is at least 6 million years old, this gem was discovered in South Carolina.

Collection of hotel requests

One of the ubiquitous symbols of hotel habitation is the “Do not disturb” sign, which guests who seek privacy hang on the door of their room. Tourists are familiar with such signs, why not a souvenir? However, travelers prefer to bring home T-shirts with pictures, key chains or fridge magnets as a souvenir of distant lands. But there are happy exceptions, among which is a German citizen, Rainer Weichert.

The hero of the Guinness Book of Records, Herr Weichert travels a lot around the world and loves to take the mentioned “Do not disturb” signs from the places of overnight stays. The hobby started in 1990, and in 2014, Reiner's collection already had at least 11,570 tablets from 188 countries, brought from hotels and aircraft, as well as passenger ships. The gems of the collection are a sign from the 1936 Olympic Village (Berlin) and a 107-year-old tablet from the Canadian General Brock Hotel.

Collection of back scratchers

Manfred S. Rothstein is a dermatologist and has his own clinic in North Carolina. Patients who come to Dr. Rothstein's appointments with a pimple or scabies review for free the richest collection of back scratchers in the world, collected by the doctor over 40 years of practice. Patients like it, even very much.

In 2008, the Guinness Book of Records noted that the dermatologist's collection carefully contains 675 samples of various, comfortable and not very funny and serious back combs made in 71 countries of the world. These things decorate the corridors of the clinic of Dr. Manfred Rothstein, her offices and examination rooms. The selection includes a comb made from a crocodile paw and its cowboy counterpart made from hand-painted buffalo ribs. There are three electric models dating back to the 1920s and a specific item traded under the trade name "Bear Ass Scratcher". Once upon a time, the doctor collected various medical antiquities - ancient medicines and creams, outlandish dishes and containers, but the love of scratching has become a lifelong hobby, and grateful patients send exhibits to Rothstein from various parts of the Earth - from Japan to Ireland, from Russia to Palau. At the same time, the doctor himself does not like scratching his back too much and considers his hobby “professional”.

Collection of traffic cones

With the help of 500 traffic cones, you can arrange for another mess. Fortunately, David Morgan, a resident of England, does not have such vile plans - he simply collects these cones. The obsession with plastic bollards began when Morgan worked for Oxford Plastic Systems, which produces traffic cones in huge quantities, the largest in the world. In 1986, a rival company claimed that people in Oxford had stolen the cone design from it. To prove that the idea of ​​​​this design is not new for competitors either, David - a rare bore - started looking for identical cones on the roads of the country and ... fell in love with their diversity, at the same time winning the court. Collecting traffic cones has become a lifelong hobby. It should be noted that Mr. Morgan did not steal a single column from his collection, only because these items were created to ensure security. Today, hundreds of such items amazingly adorn the garden of the 74-year-old original.
