Please advise me concerning - could I get from you the catalogue of the exibition "Russian painting of the Avant-Garde. 1906-1924. 30 June 5 September 1993"?

My address is:

Lechebnaja Street D 5 Kv 31

Moscow 105318 Russia

From my side I could send you a couple of auctions made at my "Bohema" Gallery, largest Art and Antique Gallery in Moscow

Especially I am interesting of the painting by Natalia Gontcharova "The Monk with the Cat" from your collection.

If it is possible supply me at least on my E-mail faberge@yandex.ru with the image and description for this painting.

It is because I have an other one from the pair or variant as "The Monk with the cock".
