The evening with Russian-American photographer Nina Alovert and the exhibition of her artworks took place at Zink Bar in New York on March 10. My Friends’ Lovely Features evening was organized by Elegant New York online magazine as a part of the project Art Night at Zinc Bar.
Born in Soviet Leningrad, Nina Alovert moved to New York 30 years ago. Both in USSR and in Russia she worked and continued working as a theater photographer. Most of her pictures inspired by the beauty of the dance. Such ballet dancers as Mikhail Baryshnikov, Natalya Makarova, Alexander Godunov, Rudolph Nureyev, Nina Ananiashvili, Diana Vishneva, were always the source of her inspiration. For the contemporary viewers, who came to see the exhibition and talk to Nina, these photographs might play the same role.
Nina does not make pictures only but also writes theater critique. Besides many articles, she has some books published, among them are Petersburg Mirrors (Moscow, 2003), Mikhail Baryshnikov (Moscow, 2004), Yulia Makhalina (Moscow 2009), Boris Eifman. Yesterday, Today. (SPB, 2012). She’s also published several books and got Emmy and Benois de la Danse awards.
As much as Nina loves dance she's attracted by poetry, music, acting and other kinds of arts. She's an author of many recognizable pictures of her close friends, such as Sergey Dovlatov, Joseph Brodsky, Solomon Volkov, Vladimir Voinovich, et cetera.
This evening at the Zinc Bar renowned works and several absolutely new photographs of Nina Alovert were presented.
Her books and albums were available for sale.
After the exhibition and Q&A with Nina Alovert, pianist Olga Slavina performed several classical musical pieces. Right next after her Valeriy Ponomarev’s ensemble played jazz music set.
