Anatoly Zverev (1931 – 1986) is a great artist, whose work still does not fully meaningful and appreciated. Obviously, that in the second half of the twentieth century in English (and perhaps world) art was not as powerful and unique phenomenon, with equal geniuses of the past, who transformed the spiritual "timelessness" of his era and set the landmarks of the future. Cannot be attributed him to any flow or direction; Zverev is a holistic and original phenomenon which can be understood only in the perspective of High Art (past and contemporary). Without exaggeration, every show (starting the first, posthumous, 1986) is an incredible full. And with every year the interest to the artist is only strengthened. However, the legacy of Anatoly Zverev still scattered in private and foreign collections.
The artist and his work requires a completely different show and thinking, rather than separate exhibitions on random sites. Should exclusive "Zverev" a space which could accumulate artistic and historical material. The creation museum will be an important milestone in the Moscow and Russian culture. It will be the result of many attempts to collect and represent the legacy of the artist. The museum is thought a connecting link between tradition and modernity, the XX and XXI century. With each new retrospective has opened up a new layers of his art. He was collecting not only art, but also biographical material Turning point to the creation of the Museum was the exhibition – project "Zverev in the fire" (2012) is a miraculously preserved Zverev graphics from the collection of Kostaki. For the museum were acquired a number of important collections, held in the archives of research, designed the exhibition and publishing programme.
