Summary Annotation Until his departure from Russia in 1977, Costakis was chief administrator for the Canadian embassy in Moscow, during which time he collected the abstract, constructivist, and experimental art of 1912- 30 that had fallen into official disrepute under Stalin. Costakis' own voice, transcribed from taped interviews with the author, accompanies Roberts' text, which puts Costakis' life and collection into historical and art historical contexts. The volume includes color reproductions of works from the collection, including some by Kandinsky, Chagall, and Rodchenko. Annotation copyright by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
