- When we began to fuse Western colleagues perceive us as the heirs of the former Soviet Union , that is Russia + CIS , and we did have applied for membership of Kiev and the Baltic states. Title is a bit pompous , but we have decided to keep him.
- You are recognized by the international community ?
- Yes, and very proud of it. Our Confederation adopted in CINOA, unifying national unions art dealers ( there are now 22 countries) . In 2011 we hosted the Annual Congress in St. Petersburg CINOA, discussing problems .
- These problems are common in the western and Russian art dealers ?
- Somewhere they match, where it is not . For example, art dealers are fighting for the whole European Union is to minimize interest payments by author , the resale of works of contemporary authors , or their heirs , or funds. ( By law, it must be so , and in Russia, in practice , very few exceptions , no one owes nothing is deducted . - "B") . CINOA orders annually study the art market , the first time this year we also do such a study , in conjunction with the State Institute of Art .
Heightened competition from auction houses - this is a common problem . I was the organizer of the Russian Antique Salon is not immediately understood . In salons , for example, some of our long participated auction houses , we gave stands large western houses , Christie's, MacDougall's, Dorotheum. When we entered the CINOA, at the Congress in Paris heard terrible figures - as turnover fell French galleries, when their market came to auction at Sotheby's and Christie's. Auction houses had to turn in the stands , and we are direct competitors .
- Scandals with experts spoil antiquarians Russian market? They happen with unpleasant frequency .
- We are fully recognized the problem with the examination after the story of " alterations " of Western European painting in the Russian and exit the "Catalogue of fakes ." In 2008, we created a community MKAAD experts. It is not formalized , we just had a regular act of Antiquaries poll - how people in what directions they trust the old art . And certified in their confederation gave printing. More than half of our four dozen experts - themselves antiquarians ( a French model) . They have an ethical and reputational liability; market expert at printing MKAAD is respected .
- Last scandal around paintings by Boris Grigoriev , " The Paris Cafe" had an impact on the art market ? What will happen to the nearest Antique Salon ? They say nothing is selling.
- Oh, how I live, so I hear " do not sell anything ." When in 1998 , everything collapsed , we have other exhibitions slipped by 30-40%, and Antique Salon - almost 10%. I remember that years when out "black" directories fakes were very prolific . At the nearest saloon will be all the usual participants , almost no one escaped. Now there is a trend - it is global - to close the gallery in the city , as it has become very expensive to maintain them . So many go to the network (" entry price " Internet contrary, all time low ) . But the important galleries from time to time appear in the composition of some projects or fairs, so the role of the latter increases again . Russian Antique Salon - regular fair and democratic , we can participate twice for the same amount that the other once. And then, in the exhibition business is such a thing - "loyalty space ." Over the years, it became clear that the CHA for antique shop very right place.
Although the mood is certainly not the most lively - very frustrating when the specific situation with one expert , one buyer and one picture start spreading to the whole community , all begin to smear one color .
- What else could undermine the status of the Russian art market ? All the time there is talk that the government is going to control the market of old art . This is a return to the antique trade licenses ?
- No, it's worse. It is possible that legislation will be changed in our industry will become mandatory self-regulation . According to the law of the Russian Federation on the self-regulatory organizations , "under self-regulation refers to self- initiative and activities that are carried by business entities or professional activity and the content of which is the development and establishment of standards and regulations of such activities , as well as control over compliance with the requirements of these standards and regulations ."
Mandatory self-regulation under the law should be subject to the organization bearing special responsibility. For example , architects . Anyhow who can not build a building , you need to process controlled counterparts to have the right amount of professionals and technicians , and so on. When the law took for architects ( myself an architect ), all lamented that young architectural firms in fact make it impossible to start a professional career , they can not meet these requirements. But in the field of architecture in this there is a grain : it is assumed that at the beginning of a young architect working in a powerful team , gaining experience , and only then separated .
In the field of art in general is impossible to develop and standardize the exact parameters to work with them . Antique Community categorically against strict regulation , we polled the majority are also against . Opens the field for the monstrous abuses , and that's not counting the huge bureaucratic work . Who will embody control and repression (he assumed) machine ? What means ? Transition to compulsory self-regulation in the shadow of care will provoke a huge number of art dealers, will remain afloat almost fifty who will be able to pay these large sum of money , and the rest back into the shadows from which not so long ago decided to leave . MKAAD favor of self-regulation, but only on the basis of reputational risk , as it is worldwide. It is longer and more difficult, but certainly more reliable.
The art market with a genuine person
XXXVI opens Russian Antique Salon
Tonight at the Central House of Artists opens spring Antique Salon . At the same time celebrated the anniversary of the main participants in the cabin, the largest Moscow and St. Petersburg dealers - International Confederation of antique and art dealers ( MKAAD) Russia and the CIS countries is ten years. The details - TATIANA b - MARKINA .
Antique Salon - Russia's only fair old art , which always takes place twice a year for more than fifteen years. Ten years ago, the main participants Antique Salon created a professional association - the International Confederation of antique and art dealers. Over the past decade, the organization has established itself at the union experts, appraisers and guilds could give the image of Antiquities human traits . Its members - they are now 52 - can be seen in the central zone of the cabin, where are the biggest gallery of the two capitals .
MKAAD - this tip of the iceberg , a huge body of which is hidden in the waters of the Russian art market . But the top, as it should be , shining white. The organization was created by the rise of the market in 2004 . And since then , despite the global international crises (as in 2008 ) or internal trade ( with fake paintings , as in 2007 and now ) , moving along the path of civilization. The main thing - the recognition of our association Antiquaries international community in 2008 has become a collective member MKAAD CINOA, which brings together 32 organizations of art dealers from 22 countries. Our traders old art has a code of honor, they bear the same responsibility to reputational buyers and fellow shop, both in Europe and in the world. Another thing is that the reputations of European antique dealers for 30-50 years or even centuries - there are galleries that are transmitted in the same families from generation to generation. Our antique reputations ten years and keep them unsullied much harder.
Russian antiquarian no one to pass the buck - Russian experts (whether certified or in MKAAD Ministry of Culture ) for its findings no material liabilities do not bear. Incorrect attribution of things it does not cause harm , except that the reputation of the spoils. Unless, of course , will not be able to prove that the incorrect attribution was given for the purpose of pecuniary interest , as in the case against Collector Andrey Vasilyev expert Elena Basner associated with a picture of Boris Grigoriev (see " Kommersant" on February 5) . However, the picture often sells antiquarian , and he has to choose - to bear in case of dispute, loss of reputation or money back .
And even that is not the point. Any history of counterfeiting immediately causes a wave of aggression directed towards " disgusting art business world , where art becomes the subject of trade ," as the trial judge said Elena Basner . Suffice it to recall the state museums refused to do on the Russian Antique Salon exhibitions, not to soil oneself about the trade. Now interior features exhibits from private collections - this time she devoted to Russian avant-garde during the First World War : bast posters Kazimir Malevich, the book "War " and " Universal War b. Colored glue" Olga Rozanova and Kruchenykh .
Solve an awkward relationship MKAAD not only society , but also with the state. Until it behaves correctly ( when the new law on trade , on which work of art dealers, even made it out of forty seven amendments proposed by antique dealers ) but periodically tries to introduce one or another way to control trade in the old art . The latest idea - to enter in this industry self-regulation required . About what it threatens antique business , as well as about the history and achievements MKAAD read the interview MKAAD president Vasily Bychkov at " b".
