So I did not realize to what art is lost interest. According to my information , and just all looking for the old Soviet art in the old Soviet artists of the older and more expensive .
Explain what the interest is falling ? If by Kabakov , etc., then it is natural. Only to the Soviet growth. Some special Russian art is simply no , because all the artists from the Soviet Union , even if you do not want to admit it . Those who went to a Russian is not considered .

I can not understand why the art for " processing premises " automatically falls under the rubric of " low level ". There are genres : portrait , landscape , still life ... And there is a " big picture " in the old terminology , ie, with ideas that are of interest to society , not just the individual. For works of this division level is irrelevant .

K, ask them: what is measured by the height of the level of roulette?

Roulette is an exact - this is the price .
I do not know about the middle class . To buy all the decorations , and therefore selected . This means a constant demand and interest. Another thing is that those who trade often with big ambitions , do not have the culture. Their interests are directed at people with more money and offer appropriate . Eggs or Kustodiev locally. I've seen and the alleged French painting . Mark Shaban example.
Loss of interest from vendors , or are the imposition of flavors?

I think the loss of interest in general, not just art but also in the whole of life, was simply not interested. No community of people affected by something, who are interested , do not even have its own public. Missing some instinct to act or what? This is likely to apply to the Western countries , including Russia , although Russia is big.

And it is also undeniable .
But such times - it is something that the periods of accumulation , and they end up over time.
We have now - the second edition of Belle Epoque , if you will .
Only in that great era of parallel living Matisse and Picasso, Kuznetsov and Sapunov , and now if the art is , in the person of his life surviving artists.
New years to be seen at all since 30.
And anyone who tries to impose , so do not get to impose something, do not have them, and that's it.

There are some good private artists (I will not name names ).
They write a good picture, and it's fine (that's right , Lucy ?) .

The crisis of freebies .

article somewhere in the subject:

The lack of international interest in "our everything" does not prevent or interfere with the achievement of valued prices for their work and all the new auction records. What prevents contemporary artists to begin to rise at least to those prices?
The middle class does not buy - this is not true, even as purchases, but this vast interior, but it was always, at all times. What prevents middle-class education and the direction of it in the right direction?
Collectors are not left, they are afraid to show collections, collection is not prestigious, and so on - is nonsense. Open any magazine about architecture and interior design is simply not find a picture without a picture "from the collection of the owners." According to them, is simply bad form not to have his collection. <! - ~ 1 ~ ->
Given the quality of what is available on the market of antique paintings and prices, from modern to collect much more profitable and more interesting, very often the contemporary works adorn the interiors. By the way I can be very interesting to see the work of some of those whom you see at the exhibitions in the residential interior. It is especially interesting when these works were created for him and, like the latest Recycle for Semenova-Gurzhiy in the May Elle Decoration.

Fashion magazines do for the art market is much more than art history mantra.
