Ms Lidow's installations and paintings have been highly acclaimed in Paris, Geneva, Rome, Berlin, Brussels and New York.
Although the artist has Russian roots and comes from the line of the Dolgoruky princes, whose name are linked with the founder of Moscow, her work has never before been displayed in Russia.
The Dolgoruky dynasty did not escape the tragic fate that befell the Russian intelligentsia at the start of the 20th century. Prior to the Bolshevik Revolution, Ms Lidow's family lived in China, as her father was a diplomat. However, they did not return to their homeland after the Bolsheviks seized power. The family first settled in California at the end of the 1920s before moving to New York.
At the age of 17, Lisa married the famous composer Frederick Hollander, who wrote songs for Marlene Dietrich and Hollywood film scores.
Although she demonstrated a talent for art at a young age, her family did not support her aspirations. Her life changed after meeting Salvador Dali. He liked her work and was convinced that she could create something out of the ordinary and blessed her creative efforts.
The Moscow exhibition will include Ms Lidow's installation Chess Sketches, Cloning and The Last Supper. Chess Sketches dominates the exposition. This famous installation, which art experts all over the world called the most original project in modern art when they saw it, entered the Guinness Book of Records in 1995.
It is a huge installation featuring 32 chess pieces of human height on an 8x8 metre chessboard.
The artist divides her pieces in women (red) and men (blue) to investigate the history of relations in the battle between the sexes.
The outstanding Russian chess player Anatoly Karpov commented onthe installation in the following way: "Her chess pieces reflect the sense of our existence, our experience beyond the chessboard and in everyday life, love and hate, good and bad, life and death." The female "army" is victorious and this is reflected in the pieces' colours, poses and sculptures.
For Ms Lidow, woman is a symbol of salvation and hope for the continuation of life. This is also their role in her Last Supper.
Her work Cloning depicts the superficial success and inner emptiness that affects many contemporary women.
The artist says that women should find a sensible way to avoid ruining what they have, while she believes that her art always has something that inspires hope.
The State Central Modern History Museum of Russia organised the exhibition.
