THE DESERT OF FORBIDDEN ART - How does art survive in a time of oppression? During Soviet rule, artists who stay true to their vision are imprisoned or executed. Their plight inspires Igor Savitsky who daringly rescues 40,000 fellow artists works and creates a museum in Uzbekistans desert, far from the watchful eyes of the KGB. Described as one of the most remarkable collections of 20th century Russian art and located in one of the worlds poorest regions, today these paintings are worth millions, The collection remains as endangered as when Savitsky first created it, posing the question whose responsibility is it to preserve this cultural treasure.

This is it:
It's called Degenerate Art and you can buy it on Amazon.com

I'm looking for the documenentary released in 1993: "Entartete Kunst: Degenerate Art". I cant find it anywhere. Suggestions?
-
A breathtaking story! And the movie exposes not only the works of art, but incredible diversity of human nature. Decades of collector's risky and incredibly dedicated work, repressions, suffering — and ignorance of present time officials accompanied by greed of Western modern time collectors. I really hope the museum will survive and save its treasures.

Great!

I'm so desperate to watch this, but cannot find it anywhere online.
Apart from pay-sites like iTunes, anyone got any ideas?

Her name was Elena Korovay.

I saw one painting (which included the Jewish girl) on TV last night from this collection which would set a new world record for value if ever sold. The woman who painted it was a bit paranoid, like Van Gogh..

We grew up on this stuff... brings back the memories. Gotta watch the whole thing now.
