Selected for a solo exhibit of his pool paintings at the Art Moderne Gallery in Moscow right after the Fall of the Berlin Wall, Mitrotti opted instead to curate the first exhibition of American artists in Russia in a commercial gallery since the Revolution. With the participation of International artists like David Hockney, Robert Rauschenberg, Francesco Clemente and Annie Leibovitz. Because of the unique significance of the timing of the event “Pools” was picked up by various galleries and Museums. With essay by novelist Jerzy Kosinski.
