As for the two Anisfeld from the previous page.
I have a form of art, things nevazhnetski so forced in the first place to look at the provenance. So, I want to make a small clarification: Anisfeld the second picture was sold at Sotheby's did not, and Shapiro at the auction - that is, in terms of provenance, the thing too far from indisputable. Moreover, sold twice, in fact, during 2008-2009, and not one, but in the company of several other, similar plot and style.
To me, both things look quite nice and clean on the picture to say that one of them is a compilation of the other, I never would have come from. Other things Shapirovskii since auctions also look quite "compilation." Do not spread them here only to avoid creating the impression among members of the forum was going about them in a serious dispute to enter. So, if even one of them is guaranteed to earn a disappointing verdict, it is a generalization can be made with respect to the others. But this case is complicated by the fact that the artist is often repeated in the later period of his old themes of creativity, so that definitive conclusions can offer to do the real connoisseurs ...

Tired of boring text to write ...
In general, I think it's fair to say that "Anisfeld might offend everyone." The artist, indeed, a very diverse and prolific (up to a hundred years did not live a little)! Although a bright epithet "eclectic Jewish," which somehow privately awarded specialist familiar Baranov-Rossine, against him will be valid to a much lesser extent ...
I tried ... I somehow in the midst of crisis in the late 90's to trade on the Moscow Salon of two large "Shulamith" the beginning of the 20s (one found in the database and spread, a second home somewhere in a stack of old photos there).
Things are great, more than a meter, spectacular, so that the buyer, though with difficulty, but - to find. Reserved items, left a deposit and the next day was a respected expert (part-time - no less a respected collector). Securities to the salon, I do not have time, but the origin of things was sure to visit the expert treated as a necessary formality. The man, walk a little in front of paintings and, during the "examination", not using, I do remember anything except his own nose and glasses, suddenly and loudly said:
"It's not Anisfeld, this is Gudiashvili".
Now, in retrospect I understand that. probably not too late to salvage the situation by joining with a "luminary" in a reasoned, respectful and cultural debate. And, when I came out of the stupor, found nothing better to do than from confusion (no 'polemical fervor "was not in sight), say in response:
"You yourself, dear - MUDIASHVILI, and speaking in Russian - an asshole!"
I think it goes without saying that the task of selling things, this episode contributed little. The buyer, though he fully lohom was not considered "investment risk" - excess of the permissible and took the deposit. A Sulamith long been in my clumsy hands, and only after the cabin, some time later, were sold almost at cost, for a sum only slightly exceeded the threshold of a five-digit - each ...

P.S. Today 05.05 I hope, for most have read the post identity of the collector, the consultant did not become a big mystery?

Do not want to wedge in the current dispute over fresh falshakov , but I now need to check for the court a couple of pictures for publication on the ever-memorable " Black directories" Rosokhrankultura .
They have this grove of the directory was published on the website and you can view their content online.
I tried to find them and the -net , but could not.
Give links to online catalogs of the Office for Conservation of Cultural Property - Rosokhrankultura "Attention may be a fake ." I already wrote that the word " may" Petrakov advised me that the courts are not worn-out .
Well, not even once pulled , although in various disputes with the auction houses to demonstrate some pictures of these directories have lead to the successful return of paintings back.
In general , sellers do not want to argue , though , in my opinion - in vain , because in these directories MANY of these original paintings . Well, it - is another story.
Once again the request : a link to the online "Black directories ."
