SwissArtGallery · Documented identity
Presented as a Russian painter, Anatoly Zverev (1931–1986) left a body of work spanning painting, drawing and graphic arts. His name also appears in the forms Anatoly Timofeyevich Zverev and Anatoli Timofejewitsch Swerew. A biographical entry attributes several thousand works to him across these fields.
During his teenage years, he is said to have worked as a decorator at Sokolniki Park and the Moscow Zoo. The same source reports that he sometimes used everyday products such as ketchup, spreadable cheese or shoe polish. It also notes that his initial audience grew following improvised exhibitions in secret locations.
The AZ Museum in Moscow holds, among other works, a self-portrait in gouache on paper and a portrait of Oksana Akseyeva in watercolour on paper. The entry also mentions a period of seventeen years during which the actress Oksana Akseyeva is said to have cared for the artist.
This profile brings together identity references for Anatoly Zverev and paintings, drawings and works on paper documented in auction catalogues.
50 references are documented at Dobiaschofsky, Schuler. Each record links to its source; the amounts are not a general valuation of the artist’s work.
