Sculpture and Art Factory of the USSR Art Fund.

Moscow branch of the USSR Art Fund. The products of SHF No. 1 were produced in scanty quantities. Each sculpture tells the story of the sculptor's life experiences over many years. The USSR Art Fund is a public organization under the Union of Artists of the USSR. Formed on the basis of a resolution of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR dated February 4, 1940. The last charter was approved in 1957. The USSR Art Fund was headed by the board. The USSR Art Fund had production enterprises (plants, factories, combines, workshops, etc.), showrooms, shops, creative houses, etc. Through the enterprises of the USSR Art Fund, orders were carried out from state and cooperative organizations and institutions for the creation of works of fine art, as well as the design of exhibitions, public buildings and other work. In July 1953, the functions of the All-Russian Union of Cooperative Partnerships of Fine Art Workers (Vsekokhudozhnik) were transferred to the USSR Art Fund due to its liquidation. Branches of the USSR Art Fund also existed under the Republican Unions of Artists.
