(Redirected from Iskusstvo publishing house)

Iskusstvo (Russian: Искусство, romanized: Iskusstvo, English: "art") was a major state publishing house in the Soviet Union. Headquartered in Moscow, it published books on art history and aesthetics, history and theory of fine arts and architecture, theater and drama, cinema and photography, television and radio broadcasting, collections for amateur performances, plays, film scripts, as well as art albums. It was established in 1938 by merging two publishers, Изогиз (Izogiz [ru]) and Искусство.[1]

In the Russian Federation it has been reorganized into a state-owned unitary enterprise under the same name (official name: Государственное унитарное предприятие "Издательство "Искусство") controlled by the Federal Agency for Press and Mass Media.[2]
