“The Road’s End,” a 1997 painting by Armenian artist Hakob Hakobyan (b. 1923). The piece, noted for its precise but muted palette of yellows and browns, is considered one of the highlights of the Sotheby’s exhibit.

“The Wall,” a 2009 work by Tajik artist Aleksei Rumyantsev (b. 1975). The piece, composed of real bricks laid over layers of cloth “mortar,” is meant to represent the plight of Central Asian labor migrants, many of whom work construction jobs in Russia.
11
“Untitled (from Dream Series),” a 2010 work by Uzbek artist Jamol Usmanov (b. 1961). Dreams and other images from Sufi poetry are a recurrent theme in Usmanov’s paintings.
12
“Mafiozi,” a 1984 oil painting by Azerbaijani artist Javad MirJavadov (1923-1992). He was considered one of Azerbaijan’s preeminent modernist painters and was staunchly opposed to the Socialist Realist school.
