Circling the Square - Avant-garde Porcelain from Revolutionary Russia, jointly organised by The State Hermitage Museum, St Petersburg, and the Courtauld Institute of Art, London back in 2005, was a rare opportunity to consider the achievements of a group of radical avant-garde artists – Futurists, Cubists and especially the abstract Suprematist painters in the circle of Kazimir Malevich – within the wider context of Russian revolutionary porcelain. The exhibition celebrated an extraordinary moment in the history of 20th century art and design. It presented, for the first time in this country, a comprehensive survey of the porcelain produced at the world-renowned Lomonosov Porcelain Factory in St Petersburg, formerly the Imperial Porcelain Factory, during the years following the Russian Revolution of 1917.
