The results of a public opinion poll conducted by Direct Line Select.

Linocut by Colin Moore (Colin Moore) cost £ 350 - a typical example of affordable art , which invest in young Brits

     Public opinion surveys conducted by the British company Direct Line Select, found that nearly a third of the surveyed young Britons aged 18 to 34 years during the last year have purchased paintings, sculptures and photographs worth up to £ 4000 .

     Young people prefer to invest in a small work of art , rather than hoard them in bank accounts at low interest. Purchases are made in order to emphasize the status , for interior decoration , as well as to invest .
     Total for inexpensive artwork youth spent the last year £ 1,9 billion, with one in seven respondents said that a work of art - an asset that will increase in value.
     As stated by an employee of Direct Line Select Stephanie Norton - Henson, "young people are turning their homes into miniature versions of the White Cube gallery and Saatchi, the works of promising artists on the walls ."

So there buy, and we "interested", go to museums - you can, by the way, look at the statistics there and Statistics from us.
It is true that art museums have one, two and miscalculated . <! - ~ 7 ~ ->

Cyril , of course , we have very talented people and artists as well. For a country can build and have thousands and thousands of galleries, and not just for those great and gone , which you rightly pointed out in the list above, but for many of his contemporaries .. Dashi Namdakov , Paul Ryjenko .. and carry them in all directions, the number and categories of art .. but again the question arises .. and the idea rests on the logic of the Berlin Wall indifferent .

I've been saying this for a long time . I do not care that the youth bought in England , because you have to figure out where to buy and where to gather return on investment , ie to sell. Invest - is to buy something that will grow in value , in this case , art . Buy low sell when the price will grow . It 's not something to be interested isku3sstvom the more to love him.
Create a sales mechanism , as in England , or even better in France, and the same will be with us , rather, is already there, just do not buy the cheap stuff for expensive, as well as all the people and even better. Understand , first in yourself and what is there for young people ? Who do you have in view , white, yellow , black ? Why give statements in the media , the fact is special to the COP. <! - ~ 1 ~ ->

Please explain.

That's the problem + complete mismatch of primary and secondary market .

Yesterday revised bunch of young artists. Young , in an obvious inadequacy :
watercolors , $ 500 , 700 cartons , trash -picture 40x50 - expensive 1000 .
This is the direct sales.
Try to sell the well-known artists for the money .

Previously, if not forgotten , there was , and I quote :

total artists : 6977
all works: 144983

And the number of artists , does not mean the number of selling artists . Online galleries are evaluated differently. This has already been discussed . Bole so not with every online gallery of useful work .

They do not have to match.
The secondary market is the sale after the primary and corrects inconsistencies.
To each his due, but not by choice.

Not always . On one single price auction , the other is completely different. Often in life the price is higher than the auction and that the artist should be amended to live ? What it gives him ? For example, look how different prices at the pictures of our master P.Stolyarenko . On the steep auction, you can buy, then come and sell more expensive , at least it was . Well you keep talking about the secondary market as auctions, that's an example .

There are no State Museum of Contemporary Art. Not one!
What kind of interest can be said?
How many more generations of Russian will be brought up to " The Last Day of Pompeii ", " Morning in the forest sosnovoi " and " Ninth shaft "?
What will it be for art education ? Who and what has brought up ?

And Paul Ryjenko - full game , here are the artists and educated " Glazunov -Shilov ."
