Rating Collectors

Natalia Semenova.

If you do not take into account the royal court and aristocracy, then collect in Russia began merchants. In the Soviet era in the nomination "collector" alternative was not available: the first and the only place was given to the PM Tretyakov, and the rest as it did not exist. Prior to 1990, writing about collectors are not allowed, the public was aware of the names of the Tretyakov and Bakhrushin, because they were preserved in the names of museums, sometimes referred to Morozov.

I propose a vote gatherers in chronological order. In Hamburg score I select pieces mixed. Brilliant collector "art of the future" SI Shchukin not go to any comparison with the PI Shchukin, or GA Simens, buy old consignment. Perhaps, for the purity of approach should be deleted from the list Petersburger Shuster, then the picture of the Moscow gathering would be complete.

History of the Moscow gathering, as once remarked Abram Efros, has a history of artistic taste. Domination of realism created PM Tretyakov, impressionism and cubism - SI Shchukin. And between them could fit all the other shades of Moscow collecting.
