This edition was prepared for the Super Toys designer toy exhibition (July 12 – September 30, 2024, Arts Square Gallery).
Designer toys represent a young and vibrant field of contemporary art, blending elements of pop art and street art. In Russia, this art form has experienced two waves of popularity: in the early 2000s and in the present day.
The Super Toys exhibition brought together artists from the new wave of Russian designer toy development and positioned them within the global context of the genre, featuring works by masters such as KAWS, Takashi Murakami, Frank Kozik, and Michael Lau. These pieces are part of the Riki Toys collection owned by media executive Ilya Popov, one of the pioneers behind "Smeshariki" and other successful animated franchises.
The exhibition catalog extends the educational mission of the event, offering not only an analysis of works by global artists but also giving a voice to Russian creators. This allows readers to fully immerse themselves in this emerging wave, observing firsthand how this art form evolves and adapts within the Russian context.
