Natalia Nesterova good artist, I like it. But the price is too high for Shapiro. And if we add the prize of the auction and other overhead costs? Expensive ... I know in Moscow where you can buy her excellent work, not worse, if not better than this, for $ 30000-40000.

Knowledge is power .. and can be cheaper.
Natalia Nesterova great artist .. http://www.liveinternet.ru/journalsh...ostid=74847361

If there Nesterova cheaper, then I would consider buying. Just want the finished work, but no thumbnails and sketches. Well, that picture is like.

Sergei will look .. we find necessary.

Eugene! Perhaps you're right. Indeed, we should wait for a response from the auction, to see how they react.

Yes, after all, will not respond, will sell and all.
SodBi, Christie, MakDag react?. Yes, they do not care what we write here, just like the decision of the Strasbourg court may compel them to move ..

Yesterday, talking with Mr. Shapiro, who was extremely nice guy. Very carefully listened to my arguments and promised to make inquiries with his hand, and then call me back.

Continuation of the story: I phoned the owner of the picture, promised to withdraw the work from the auction. So in theory - the story with a happy ending:)

Eugene, it seems, in this story still is the probability of a happy ending. Of course, that we write here, the auction until the lamp, as you correctly noticed, but Lianino treatment they responded quite adequately.

Liana! You are a real fighter! God give you!

Surprisingly, I never thought that would be such a reaction. I had hoped, but not much believe. But now the story becomes known, Shapiro a plus. And the owner of something that said? Not told about the history of the acquisition?

And, incidentally, she was not alone!
