Doubtful. You can also recognize the birch trees and posies. But, in fact, better to buy a reproduction, just beautiful, and the price is much less:).

Contemporary Art as a gift in 1970? "... All who are able to give and to whom to give it, apparently knew each other:)

Circle of people who bought the painting was very narrow. The picture for 500 rubles? ... So many engineers had been received. Tokar-revolverschik buy now? Yes, and that the engineer that the locksmith - top art - Shishkin and Kramskoy.

Pricing and market for modern art in the Soviet Union - a good topic for the dissertation.

Of course, not all were treated kindly by the Soviet authorities, but also at the Paris Salon impressionists were outcasts.

Wladzislaw, you do not forget that "the time of the USSR" is davolno much during th-th. For some, this is the 60th and 70th years, but for someone and the 91st is the Soviet Union, not to mention the middle of the 80th, when the USSR was still nominally in existence, but were already tuning processes, any cooperative case began, was allowed to travel, etc.

You are absolutely right. Normal people buy normal picture - reproduction, of course: everyone there Hunters in camp with my sister Alyonushka, Nestled in the Birch grove (this is perfectly written sss, to which I have a big weakness at all):)

Who's buying? Hard to say - mostly poets, writers, musicians, translators, photographers - so-called "intelligentsia". For example, it is common knowledge that Richter bought Krasnopevtsev; of other celebrities bought Efros, Pinsky ...

We bought (very cheap, of course) semi collectors: Kostaki, Stevens, from the Russian - Grobman, Carpenter-Zabusov, Kotrilev, Talochkin, Sanovich, Rusanov, Nutovich, Glezer. All of them somewhere to work, but real life was devoted entirely to collecting. Buying friends, absolutely no investment ulterior motives, simply because they liked.

Each collector had a circle of artists, for example, Nutovich been for family reasons was associated with Lianozovo. My great friend and a wonderful person Jura Esin is supported Zvereva. There Kotrileva were Pyatnitskii, Voroshilov, the poet Genes Aigi lot Igor Vulokh.

The picture changes, they borrowed "hang", to be treated with great love. From time to time have some roof was driving physics, and he also indulged in collecting, sometimes even throwing the hell its physics ...

Then they started to buy people who decided to emigrate to take them with you. Here, the investment element was very strong (take out the money was not - I was 90 r. Per person, so that all bought some stuff - sheets, coral beads - in Vienna are usually found to be made by the Ministry of Health of ceramics - dolls, cameras ... ). It is a pity that these investments a little justified - except in recent years for those who doderzhal, they were able to gain for his paintings on decent money.


In general, like this somehow:)

p.s. Vladislav Kandaurova look at Google, there is, but to hang out this nightmare I honestly can not. Such sovkovsky Sur, semi-intellectuals who helluva lot like: "spiritually, blah," they say - and so expensive:)

This is who-Otari?

He is the most: (

Now recall this is not too bad;)

In Ukraine in the late 70's custom work such as "harvest the farm N" or "milkmaids-shock troopers in the process of" cost an average of 1200 rubles, subject to large format. So what could be on a "book" to be postponed.

One of the closest friends of his father, he is still alive, thank God, put on the "book" in total 96 000 rubles. thought that old age is now assured. But alas! With the change of money and all the well-known political events, money evaporated.

Yes, at the time and buy for the money you could not, except that the picture in itself.
