Sotheby's: the pre-auction showing at the Museum of History

Yesterday went on the show.
And for the first time not rushed to spread photo essay.
Why? Because nothing in particular saw. It is strange. Cameras and the press a lot, but there are plenty. The President may in Skolkovo pulled?

But in order.
opened the conference by Mikhail Kamensky (ген. director of Sotheby's Russia) and in short, reported the situation on the art market.
 If they used to say "There is crisis ..."," Out of the Crisis ...", but now can confidently say: "What crisis far behind ..."
Pleased the audience, that Sotheby's remarkable sales on all fronts, and the Russian market continues to please.
Namely:
- Recently, delineated a substantial increase in the collectors.
- CIS market better than China, at the last auction of the Impressionists Russian buyers have surpassed the Chinese.
- Another trend - the establishment of private museums, with the support of the state.
I do not know how to present, and me for our people, the Chinese showed the Figo was nice. That's so you.
And the phrase "private museum with state support, are generally very symbolic and deep.

then took the floor, Joe Vickery (Head of Russian Art London)
Too, was brief - Russian art market is stable, the amount of $ 90 million.
Everything on this press conference is over. I should add that it is taking place in the relaxed friendly atmosphere in the background of the picture Serebryakova.
