Valeriy Gerlovin was born in Vladivostok in 1945 and graduated as a stage designer from the School-Studio of the Moscow Art Theatre in 1967. With his wife Rimma Gerlovina he formed one of the well-known duos of Moscow Conceptualism. In 1977 their project Zoo – Homo sapiens took place in Moscow. At the turn of the 1980s the artists emigrated to the United States. The Zimmerli Art Museum (USA) holds monotypes by Gerlovin from 1973.
