[1] There is no general agreement on whether musicians who also painted – like Igor Verichev – should be considered New Artists, too.

[2] Vladislav Mamyshev-Monroe started performing with Timur Novikov in 1989 or 1990, when the New Artists were about to cease their joint activities. There are diverging views on whether or not he should be considered a New Artist. (See Introduction – Let's Talk About Art, footnote 6) .
