In 1971 Chemiakin was forced out of the USSR by the Soviet authorities. He settled first in France, then moved to New York City in 1981. Beginning in Paris he organized exhibitions of and published the work of Russian non-conformist artists and writers. The research begun in the 1960s into the art of all ages and peoples has developed into a collection of millions of images organized into technical, historical and philosophical categories which has earned the artist five Honorary Doctorates and is the basis for his Institute of the Philosophy and Psychology of Art. In 2002 Chemiakin created a series of television programs dedicated to the research for the Russian Kultura channel.
In 1989, the return of Chemiakin s work to post-Communist Russia began with the first exhibition of his work there since his exile. Subsequently, he continued to show his work there at museums in Moscow, St. Petersburg and in the former Soviet states, and has installed four monuments in St. Petersburg, one in Moscow and one at the Konstantinovsky Palace outside of St. Petersburg.
Chemiakin s monumental sculptures can also be seen in New York City; Venice, Italy; London; Chateau de Vascoueil, France; and Hofstra University in Hempstead, NY. His work is in the permanent collections of numerous museums, including the Metropolitan Museum (New York), the State Tretyakov Gallery (Moscow), the State Russian Museum (St. Petersburg), the Sao Paolo Museum of Art (Brazil), the Museum of Modern Art of the City of Paris, Yad Vashem and the Museum of Art, Tel Aviv.
