History of the building
Initially, in September 1956, the Council of Ministers of the USSR adopted a resolution on the construction of two buildings - the building for the Tretyakov Gallery and the Exhibition Building of the Union of Artists of the USSR. Subsequently, it was decided to construct one building for two objects. The project was completed in 1962-1963 and approved for construction in March 1964. Construction began in 1965.[3] The Central House of Artists opened in November 1979.[4]
The main authors of the building project were architects Nikolai Sukoyan and Yuri Sheverdyaev.[5] In addition, other architects took part in the design. Various research institutes were involved in the project.[3]
