Minimonumentalism/Heroes and Myths, the Art of Dimitry and Daniel Kaminker
October 4 – October 29, 2004 - The Art Gallery was honored to host father and son, Dimitry and Daniel Kaminker from St. Petersburg, Russia to celebrate the opening of their special exhibit of their sculpture.

The exhibit showcased the Kaminker’s work by presenting small-scale bronze sculptures that served as models for the artists’ monumental works found in major museums and private collections throughout Russia and Scandinavia.  The work was witty, playful, and often infused with political sarcasm.  The Russian State Museum, which owns the world’s largest collection of Russian art, has purchased 16 pieces of Kaminker’s work and he has commissions all over the world.
