Kabakov, who had grown up with an awareness of his ethnic identity though with no knowledge of Jewish religious practice and tradition, studied art in Moscow from 1945 until 1957 and obtained his diploma with illustrations for texts by Sholem Aleichem. He first worked as a children's book illustrator until 1975 and joined the “Boulevard Stretensky” group of conceptual artists. In 1987, he went to Austria and worked in Berlin in 1989 before settling in New York in 1992. Kabakov participated in many exhibitions in the Soviet Union and abroad showing his works and installations. He illustrated over 100 books during twenty years and produced works in which he instilled much humour and derision. A noted avant-garde artist in Moscow, Kabakov was much influenced by Cezanne and Abstract Expressionist artists and produced a series of monochrome works on which he glued usual objects. He then went on to create extraordinary installations relating to urban environment with the help of images and texts. Kabakov, who often condemned the Soviet system in his works and was one of the main exponents of social art in his country, is now considered as a major actor of the Western avant-garde movement.
