Ilya & Emilia Kabakov's Biography

Ilya and Emilia Kabakov are a married couple of Russian Conceptual artists who have been working together since the 1990s. They are best known for their installations, which often feature immersive environments that explore themes of memory, nostalgia, and the Soviet Union. Ilya (born in 1933) was an influential avant-garde artist in the Soviet Union before the dissolution of the Soviet Union in 1989, and since then, the two have been collaborating on installations, performances, and other forms of art. The pair have achieved international acclaim, with their work being featured in exhibitions around the world, including the Venice Biennale and the Tate Modern in London.
