Maxim Boxer is a hereditary collector and has been doing this throughout all his life. Artworks from his collection can be found at exhibitions at The Tretyakov Gallery, The Russian Museum, The Pushkin State Museum of Fine Arts and other Russian galleries and museums.
Current exposition in The 'Our Artists' Gallery is the first demonstration of a significant part of his collection — graphics of XIX-XX centuries.
Selected artworks are made on paper and carried out in different techniques and genre — altogether they develop a finished aesthetically full statement. The exposition is complemented by sophisticated items of Russian furniture and original glass of the end of XVIII and the beginning of XIX centuries.
