"These speculators" -these are the ones who dvigaetart business. You probably mean the Russian Forbes , then they are buying something that is expensive for them to come true , " these speculators.
Top lots at Sotheby's for buying the most bogatyhi mostly themselves. This is the best value for money and the highest percentage . Let me remind you that Shchukin was tolovogo of the list, but did everything himself .

Moreover, there were collectors who buy expensive emerging artists such as Solomon Guggenheim.
This he unrolled Kandinsky, Jackson Pollock, but it did not skimp.

I have no idea how much is now the Guggenheim collection.

Guggenheim did not purchase investments.

Kollektsionerstvo not an investment , but the pattern is increasing in value faster than any investment.
Well, our rams , where now you can buy social - realism Deineko, Korzheva , Zhilinskis , etc., as you say tops. They have tops and unavailable, and those do not want to take .
Note that antiques are always cheaper art.

Of course , there are family businesses. But there are also new. I'm not understand where all this " socialist realism ", for the first in the 90's were buying Western art dealers ? Bought up the fact. And what happens when it comes up ? Or disposed of it ? Or what?

A antique art?
:D>

Add to basket!
 

Once all the eggs - in one basket ! And Deineka and Žilina - suddenly find themselves " socialist realist ". Yes read the same VS Manin ! Read the books and the series "Rich Dad recommends" by Robert Kiyosaki.
At $ 100 000 is advisable to buy "odnushku - kopeck piece " (the price depends on the region) , to pass it, and the passive income from its surrender to begin collecting art ( eg , thematic ) or graphics, which is still available today (eg, Belyaev by Gelos , large , high-quality work).
Or take a risk - to invest up to 50 %, being a little confident that this will be 100%.
Untwist artist today ( for 70,000 dollars), as some do not move. In Soviet artists have invested state - publications, exhibitions, museums , monographs , etc. , based on today's prices - millions of USD However, to sell - is incredibly difficult.

Hard to sell paintings of Soviet artists??

What do you mean talking about?

Just give a picture of Soviet artists - tear off with his hands!

Cyril Syzran,
I'm a little older than you , and if my grandchildren will Pobol good taste than me ( besides the material of course) , it will be a major investment in the " ca for the soul ." Which in the end is less important.
In the future Russia I veryu.kak not strange (though maybe enough to live there without a problem) .
pavel
You pravy.Topy certainly not for simple smertnogo.dazhe if the goal is to invest 100td.zdes other numbers are needed.
Promotion is not known. But talented artist. Neither the amount 100td.eto pofessionalov lot .
Easy purchase of works of recognized artists and not-so - my mistake in the previous 20 years (. Now would leave 5-10 percent)
It is on this saying. Thing to buy - leave significant works of acknowledged hudozhnikov.poka still available for the money. Glavnoe.chtob And they also liked , found a response in dushe.bez this all becomes a " product" more . lower income or ubytkom.Ochen soon it will be the new tops.

mihailovoh, we vsevremya forget that you live in Msc, and I ULC. Hence surprisingly easier to sell abroad than to promote the artist in our capital city (and where else? Nowhere else yet). However, I tried - in principle, it is real. Not just a course, but I can assure you - you do not need 100, etc. You just need the presence of talent and ambition at the object of promotion. As for the soul - I agree. But this is not a verification test.
