The whole gallery team is enthusiastic about the works of this brilliant artist and I hope people will appreciate them too," Yordan Kolev, director of the Gallery, told BTA.

The exhibition will remain in the Danube town until the end of February. After that, the gallery will exhibit works by Edgar Degas, also owned by the Kesauri family.
