of Artists. In 1987, he organized Russia's first stone-carving sculpture symposium, in Tolyatti. Zicherman later moved to Samara, where he married Zinaida Sokolova, and in 1989 to Budapest. Of this move to Hungary, he said that "[A]ll of us are of mixed nationalities, I do not know a single person who is one hundred percent Russian or Mordovian". He described himself as a Hungarian artist of Russian origin. In Budapest, he and his wife opened a Russian theater and studio at the Russian embassy. Works By 1989 Sandor Zicherman had participated in great number All-Soviet and All-Russian exhibitions, including exhibitions representing Soviet art abroad (Hungary, Czechoslovakia, NDK, Poland). His exhibits included paintings to graphics, medals, ceramics, sculptures, and tapestries. His mosaics, sgraffitos and memorials are still on show in many Russian cities. In addition to participating in group exhibitions, by 1989 he had had more than 30 personal exhibitions in various cities of the Soviet Union and also participated in 13 different Soviet or international two-month symposiums. Since his move to Budapest in 1990 he has participated in more than 60 group and personal exhibitions in Budapest and other Hungarian cities, as well as a great number of European countries. Zicherman does not adhere to a particular genre; among his works and graphics are portraits, avant-garde pieces, and classical landscapes, employing a variety of stylistic devices such as cubo-futurism, post-impressionism, and realism. In recent years, he has produced many works in the nu genre. His work is represented in The Hermitage, the Samara State Fine Arts Museum, the Tolyatti Art Museum, the Museum of Regional Ethnography in Perm, the Museum of Fine Arts of the Udmurt Republic, the Technical Museum of Autovaz in Tolyatti, the Museum of Fine Arts of the Mari El Republic in Yoshkar-Ola, the Joseph Boksay Fine Art Museum of Transcarpathia in Uzhgorod, the Kalmyk Fine Art Museum in Elista, the Museum of Medal Art in Wroclaw, the War History Museum in Budapest, and many other museums in Europe. Every year, Zicherman returned to Russia, where he held a regular solo exhibition. In 2006, there was an exhibition of his works in Tolyatti, dedicated to the fortieth anniversary of AvtoVAZ. In 2007, the show was held in Samara. Zicherman's work has sometimes been the target of thieves. In the early 1990s, he was one of the organizers of an exhibit from whence 171 pieces were stolen. In
