http://www.kommersant.ru/doc.aspx?Do...&NodesID=8
With regard to the question intrigued all who still bought Malevich, here the representatives of Sotheby `s turned out to be harder than flint. We do not know. Name at least the initial letter of the name of the buyer, an American journalist tortured them, but they did not surrender. Mr. Kamensky than a joke "Russian saved the market" could not even say "Y", was there really a buyer or two it was one man who competed with himself, and whether he was Russian.
By the way, to bid from Russia, almost no one came, although the hall could meet representatives of the Russian diaspora. As the "Y" was present at the auction well-known British expert on Russian art Ivan Samarin, it is now impossible to divide and artists and buyers on a national basis - maybe it's a foreigner living in Moscow, Russian or living in London. And he believes that it is natural that the prices on the Russian finally become comparable with Western modernism. Nevertheless, many journalists remain in the certainty that only the Russian oligarchs are capable of in times of crisis to make such reckless purchase. Can not but recall the famous art event Alexander Brener, painted in the same museum Stedelijk dollar sign on Malevich's paintings. Artist then imprisoned. Now it is drawn as much as $ 60 million
