Erarta Featured in the Wall Street Journal

Erarta St. Petersburg has been featured in the Wall Street Journal's run down of Russia's top private museums. This is what they had to say:
This gallery boasts 2,000 works and adjunct galleries in cities around in world. It was opened by Marina Varvarina, the press-shy widow of murdered Russian lumber magnate Dmitry Varvarin. Located in a sprawling, neoclassical building, the museum's five floors are filled with works spanning every major school of Russian art since 1945. The museum also contains a series of "U-spaces" ("U" meaning "you")—intimate galleries where patrons make appointments to enjoy a variety of installations in solitude for 15-minute blocks. "Artists were the most free, creative people in what was a dreary Soviet city when my mother was growing up," said Vadim Varvarin, Ms. Varvarina's 26-year-old son, who runs Erarta's endowment. "When international barriers were lifted, a lot of these artists were moving overseas and making exclusive contracts with international galleries. We wanted them to have a space back here."
