They came with bodyguards and people came to the people who passed along the wall on pictures, and left to avoid being noticed, that is, people who can buy items that were clearly "- says gallery owner Helen Kuzmakova.

Despite the first experiment, the organizers intend to repeat the auction, gradually accustomed those who have money, do not hesitate to spend it on art. A cherished dream of the museum will have to wait a bit. Until the next auction.
