Ukraine has launched an online database that lists artworks owned by sanctioned Russians:
Each listing contains basic details about the given artwork, including who made it and when, as well as its estimated value and connection to sanctioned individuals. The portal also contains a system through which users can report other relevant artworks and owners.
Russian billionaires Petr Aven, Viatcheslav Kantor, Andrey Melnichenko, and Arkady Rotenberg are among the collectors represented in the database. Each has been slapped with economic sanctions by the European Union, the United Kingdom, or the United States in recent years for their support of Russia’s war against Ukraine.
Dasha Zhukova, who founded the Garage Museum of Contemporary Art in Moscow and currently serves on the boards of the Metropolitan Museum of Art and Los Angeles County Museum of Art, is also included in the database, though she has not been subject to sanctions. Zhukova was formerly married to Roman Abramovich, a Russian billionaire sanctioned by the U.K., EU, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand in 2022 for his relationship to Putin.
“Russian oligarchs, despite the sanctions imposed on them, can still easily hide and launder their money through art objects,” said the NACP. “The ‘War and Art’ section will contribute to the work on preventing the circumvention of sanctions, finding artistic assets of sanctioned Russians with the aim of their further freezing, confiscation and future transfer to Ukraine.”
