The Desert of Forbidden Art tells the incredible story of how one man -- Igor Savitsky -- stashed a treasure trove of banned Soviet art worth millions of dollars in a far-off desert of Uzbekistan. One painter represented in the collection -- Mikhail Kurzin -- tried to follow the Soviet style, but he couldn't stand it.
