Provenance
Collection of Larisa Piatnitskaya (1940-2014), acquired directly from the artist in 1996
Thence by descent


In 1995, together with Eric Bagdasarian, Larisa Pianitskaya arranged for Yakovlev's temporary leave from a mental institution to which the artist had been committed for over 10 years. After a short stay at Piatnitskaya's place, the artist found a new home in a flat rented for him and stocked with a generous supply of oils and canvases by Bagdasarian. This short, yet important period for Yakovlev left a deeply personal body of work. A reflection on Yakovlev's iconic subjects, these works convey a notion of solitude and fragile nature of a human being which is the central theme of Yakovlev's life and work.
