The collection started 40 years ago in Moscow at the height of the Cold War and now contains more than 7,000 works by over 300 artists. Many of the works in the Kolodzei Collection are by "Non-Conformist" artists trained in top art schools but who followed their own paths rather than that imposed by the State.
2005

Vadim Voinov. The State Hermitage under a Full Moon. General Staff Building, the State Hermitage Museum, St. Petersburg. October 25, 2005 - April 24, 2006.
The exhibition has been organized by The State Hermitage Museum, in the collaboration with the Kolodzei Art Foundation (USA), Atellier II Gallery of Art (Moscow), Kultur Kontakt Foundation (Vienna , Austria), Pechatny Dvor Printers (St. Petersburg), Dean Publishers (St. Petersburg) and Free Culture Foundation (St. Petersburg). 
Vadim Voinov was born 1940 in   Leningrad  (now   St. Petersburg) and lives and works in  St. Petersburg  . In his works, Voinov uses a technique he himself created--functional collage--intended to reconstruct the history of Czarist, revolutionary, Soviet and contemporary   Russia.  In the 1960’s and 1970’s Voinov studied the history of early   St. Petersburg  architecture.  An art historian himself, he published articles and undertook archeological expeditions.  His devotion to archeology and understanding of the significance of each object introduced into his work a historical significance.  He developed functional collage beginning in 1979.  The objects used in Voinov’s works acquire a new historical meaning.  Voinov’s works are laconic in their composition.  
For this installation Voinov chose the unrenovated interiors of the General Staff Building on  Palace Square  .  The exhibition consists of collages and installations made of authentic found objects on themes connected with the newest history of   Russia  .  There are 73 works represented in the exhibition, installed in five rooms.  Each group of collages and separate installations are thematically connected and titled:  Red Wall; Circle-The father of a square; The Viennese Set; and others. The installation of the exhibition is an artwork in itself.
The catalogue for the exhibition includes 17 essays with 110 illustrations.  Each copy of the catalogue is marked by an original, unique object: a stamp from the 1920’s-1940’s with the image of a soldier (“Voinov” can be translated into English as “soldier”).  The catalogue is published in Russian and English.

It is important to note the individuality of each work, and of each artist, incorporated in this project.

These 137 illustrations represent different aspects of the Russian art and views of the Russian life.

Following the October Revolution in 1917 and the suppression of the arts by the Communist regime, important collectors risked their lives to collect and preserve the heritage of the Russian Avant-Garde. Natalia Kolodzei will trace the development of Russia's political regimes and their relationship to the patronage and collection of Russian art. Approximately a dozen original works of art from the Kolodzei Collection will be on display in Harvard Hall. The Collection consists of several thousand works of art including paintings, drawings and sculptures by more than 300 artists from Russia and the former Soviet Union.
