Yuri Khorovsky

Yuri Alekseevich Khorovsky was born on November 14, 1946, in Ceadîr-Lunga (Chadyr-Lunga), Gagauzia. He graduated from the Repin art school in Chișinău (Kishinev), in sculpture in 1965 by his own account, and studied in the studio of Lazar Dubinovsky. Russian Wikipedia dates his membership of the Union of Artists to 1980; his own author page gives 1970.

His monumental works are on the facades of the Vasile Alecsandri National Theater in Bălți (Beltsy) and of the circus and the Institute of Genetics in Chișinău, according to an ARTinvestment auction profile. The national catalog of public monuments credits the sculptural composition Teatru on the Bălți theater, dated 1990, to Iurie Hvorovschi, which is taken here as a misprint of his name. Moldovart lists a facade sculpture of clowns (1980) among his works. The catalog credits the circus clowns to Valeriu Rotari (1979), and Strelka's guide to Matvei Levenzon (1988); the three credits have not been reconciled.

He moved to Moscow in 1988 according to Russian Wikipedia, in 1989 by his own account, and in 1995 according to Moldovart. His works are in the Tretyakov Gallery and the national art museum in Chișinău.
