Auctions.
 

I think that the price form the auctions. If you take the example of Russian art - before. went as high auction sale prices were at times lower, and after Millions sales at auctions and in the domestic market prices immediately rose.
And now, naturally in connection with the crisis, auctions neprodazhi lowered the prices we have.

eva777, and you and master right, but the question asked Veronica, and the conversation so I knew went on contemporary artists 35-45 years old (eg such as Arthur Braginsky) average, good, professional urovnya.S world-class artists all clear .. Tell me how you are in the gallery are working with contemporary artists (in terms of pricing)?

assessment
 

Middle-run is not worth it, is to work only with high-level professionals. And better that the artist was distinctive, that his style must be guessed at once.
  If you directly from the artist, then the price he appoints himself, and then you can bargain and come to the same amount, which satisfied both.
Although, it all depends on the artist, some are not traded.
In all the galleries in different ways, once listened to Aidan Salakhova, she said that the minimum price for the work of young artists - 2,500-5000 $, which is to begin. Otherwise there is no sense.
If you want the price rose, promotion of the artist to go to the gallery owner: exhibitions, catalogs, PR, etc. The only condition for the artist, it should be working, stagnation in the work are not welcome!

Sorry, that intervened. I was at an auction in December, Russian Art Gallery (sales weak), do you think if an artist sold well for them or in Sovkome can work with him? And perspetiven whether it? And ridiculously, estimate at the same authors in these auctions koordinalno differ. But Sovkome and base and sales significantly higher. In general, as you can see the prospect of Soviet artists from the recently created Union of Russian Artists? And in general, very correctly, that the new auctions are held salons, this makes the market transparent)

Please tell us about the Union of Russian Artists. What kind of project?

Everything is fine and very necessary but now with the price - bad luck. Buyer naturally tends to buy at a minimum, and preferably from the first hands. So is buying a majority. Auction-tenths of hands, work at least in Ukraine, where buying snobs - kettles or their agents. And as high-level professionals, It is like-rated? And if molodoy.Chto not to buy? Ah, no - nothing ventured, does not drink champagne.
