Only a part of all the works were presented at the exhibition, while they were presented in the form of a retrospective reflecting the evolution of Clune's style from the first creative steps to later things. Curator Oksana Voronina, in a conversation with Izvestia, stressed that she wanted not only to show Klune in his most famous "suprematist" role, but also to compare the non-objective compositions with later realistic works.
