For RACC MEMBERS AND FRIENDS!: Kandinsky The Solomon R.

This exhibition is the first full-scale retrospective of Kandinsky’s career in the United States since 1985 and offers a comprehensive chronological survey of the artist’s work through a selection of his most important canvases.

Presented by New York Historical Society: "An Evening with Mikhail Gorbachev" Mikhail Gorbachev, one of the most pivotal leaders of the 20th century, helped bring an end to the Cold War while introducing revolutionary freedoms and reform to the oppressive system he inherited. Mr. Gorbachev dedicated himself to rebuilding the volatile relationship between the Soviet Union and the United States, easing nearly 50 years of fears that the two nations would fight a devastating nuclear war. As a result of his extraordinary achievements, he was the recipient of the 1990 Nobel Peace Prize. Join us for a discussion on the current state of relations between Russia and the United States and how we might work toward achieving a global peace. Mikhail Gorbachev was General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union from 1985-1991 and Executive President of the Soviet Union from 1988-1991.
