From 20 March 2024 Palazzo Esposizioni Roma presents the exhibition “Vladimir Radunsky” promoted by the Department of Culture of Rome Capital and by the Azienda Speciale Palaexpo, produced and organized by Azienda Speciale Palaexpo.

The exhibition, curated by Kiril Ass with Nadja Korbut, is the most exhaustive exhibition dedicated in Italy to Vladimir Radunsky, Russian artist, American by adoption, considered among the best-known illustrators of children's books in the world, some of whom became part on the New York Times Best Sellers list. The exhibition brings together over one hundred and fifty works including drawings, tapestries, sculptures and a collection of life-size animal clothes created by the author, as well as some precious editions of his books which will be freely accessible to the public.

Vladimir Radunsky has published more than thirty books and his works have been translated in France, England, Germany, Italy, Spain, Greece, Turkey, the Netherlands, Korea and Japan. He has received numerous international awards including "The New York Times Best Illustrated Book Award" and the "Critici in Erba" award in Bologna. Exhibitions have been dedicated to his work in France, Italy, Switzerland, Russia, Japan and the United States.

Born in Moscow in 1954, where he studied figurative arts, design and architecture, in 1982 he emigrated to New York, where he continued to work as a graphic designer, producing mainly art books. Against the backdrop of the lively New York art scene of the 1980s, he dedicated himself to a genre that had always fascinated him: children's books. From his beginnings, the expressive characteristic of his work emerged, that of approaching different themes and writings - prose or poetry - which pushed him to use different styles and techniques, from realistic painting to abstract collages.
