Nikolai Zagrekov’s paintings were displayed in the Museum of Russian Art (TMORA) in Minneapolis, Minnesota, US in May to December 2005. Ray Johnson, who founded TMORA and has collected about 15,000 works of Russian artists of the 20th century, is sure that his collection is the largest collection of Russian art outside Russia.
The inauguration of the TMORA new building took place on 7 May 2005 and was accompanied by an exciting display of the Tretyakov Gallery paintings, works from the Minneapolis Museum and from private collections. Together with the paintings by Ilya Repin, Valentin Serov, Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin, Mikhail Larionov, Aristarkh Lentulov, Robert Falk, Alexander Deineka and Pyotr Konchalovsky a few paintings by Nikolai Zagrekov were exhibited: “Double Portrait” (1927), “Flowers in a Vase” (1923), “Spanish Girl” (1928), “Peasant with a Scythe” (1927). Currently, the Zagrekov Friends Society is considering the arrangement of a personal exhibition of Nikolai Zagrekov’s works at TMORA to commemorate the 110th anniversary of the birth of the artist.
