Sofiya Glukhova
Sofiya Glukhova, an art historian specializing in modern and contemporary art, has worked on many publishing and exhibition projects. Born in Izhevsk, Russia, she completed her first master's degree, in museum studies, at the Saint Petersburg State University of Culture and Arts before studying French history and literature at the French University College in Saint Petersburg.
After moving to France in 2013, Ms. Glukhova obtained two master’s degrees. The first, from Université Paris 8 Vincennes-Saint-Denis, explored the image in contemporary French literature. The second, from the École du Louvre, covered two areas: the art of appropriation and French copyright, and non-official Soviet art through the lens of A-Ya, an immigrant art magazine published in France from 1979 to 1986.
From 2016 to 2018, Ms. Glukhova worked at the Centre Pompidou in Paris with Nicolas Liucci-Goutnikov on an exhibition entitled Kollektsia! Contemporary Art in the USSR and Russia, 1950-2000 before working with Angela Lampe as a researcher and exhibition manager for the show Chagall, Lissitzky, Malevitch: The Russian Avant-garde in Vitebsk (1918-1922).
Following this experience, in 2019 she entered the art market, joining the Comité Marc Chagall. The following year, Ms. Glukhova joined the new team working on the Marc Chagall catalogue raisonné, archives and website. She is a head of research, co-author of texts and in charge of communications for the Marc and Ida Chagall Archives.
Ms. Glukhova is a regular contributor to publications on 20th-century avantgarde artists, especially Marc Chagall, for various institutions, magazines and exhibitions, including the Centre Pompidou, Beaux-Arts Magazine, Musée d'Art moderne (Céret), Palazzo Roverella (Rovigo) and Fundación Mapfre (Madrid). She is on the Board of the Association Cité Falguière.
