Owner of the “Aidan gallery” in Moscow, artist and teacher Aidan
Salahova is going to leave gallery business and give much attention to
her creative activity. APA reports that Aidan Salahova in her interview
to the “RIA Novosti” said that she will open art studio named “Aidan
Studio”.
“Aidan gallery” was one of the most famous galleries in Russia in the
past 20 years, woks of the many artists as Anna Jelud, Rauf Mammadov,
Oksana Mas, Rostand Tavasiev and Gor Chahal were exhibited here. Aidan
Salahova, whose works were purchased by the famous collectors and
galleries all over the world, had a great role in the popularity of the
gallery. Her works adorn the walls of several personal and state
collections including Tretyakov gallery, Moscow Museum of Modern Art and
Ekaterina Foundation. According to Aidan Salahova, each of her works
cost € 20 000-25 000: “It is more profitable for me to be an artist than
a gallery owner, this is my personal opinion.”
According to Aidan Salahova, she will give much attention to her
creative activity and continue to work as a teacher in the Surikov
Moscow State Academy Art Institute.
We will mark the 20th anniversary of the “Aidan gallery” on April 23 and
put an end to our exhibition activity. “Aidan Studio” will be opened in
autumn. My works and the works of my students will be demonstrated
here.
Salahova is also popular as adviser among the collectors and mediated in
purchase and sale of antiques. She will continue this activity. Aidan
Salahova is daughter of the famous Azerbaijani artist Tahir Salahov.
Salahova was awarded silver medal of Russian Academy of Arts in 2002.
She was a member of the Russian Public Chamber in 2005-2007.
