Karlo Kacharava (February 7, 1964–April 9, 1994) was a Georgian artist, poet, essayist and art critic born in Samtredia. In 1986 he graduated from the Tbilisi State Academy of Arts and from 1986 to his death in 1994 he worked at the Giorgi Chubinashvili Institute of Art History. Through his writing for publications such as "Literature and Art," for which he was also an editor, Kacharava acted as a bridge between the Georgian artists of his generation and the Western literary and art worlds. Although he was the leader and theorist of the "Archivarius" and "X Floor" group of artists, he did not have a solo exhibition until 1994, organized posthumously at the National Gallery, Tbilisi. In 1997 he was the first researcher to be posthumously awarded the Giorgi Chubinashvili State Prize for his contribution to Georgian art history.^[1]
