Viktor Pivovarov. The Agent in Love

The Agent in Love is more than an autobiography. In telling the story of his life in Moscow and Prague, and his renewed relationship with Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union, artist Viktor Pivovarov plunges the reader into the rich cultural life of the artistic underground which existed behind the Iron Curtain in the 1960s and 1970s. First published in Russian in 2001, and then by Garage Museum in 2016 in an expanded edition, The Agent in Love has now been translated to English by Andrew Bromfield.
