Just went to the exhibition ( news show) to see some pictures alive .
Distinctive features of this auction is the first time for the auction house , provided all Russian . Well , almost all modern unavailable . But the avant-garde and nonconformist appeared .

In general, a good selection of lots , and as noted by Leonid Shishkin , thanks to the last auction , which was sold to Benoit for a record for sales in Russia amount - 528,550 USD, to him the owners had suffered expensive work .

1 . Konchalovsky 580700-724200 $ estimate is not small . This picture of them in the top lots on the cover . Konchalovsky still in effect and mood . Would be surprising if it gets to a million at Sothebys just got to .
2 . Bogolyubov $ 258100-322600 . Painting remarkable provenance , its in 1870 bought the Tsarevich Alexander , later Alexander III. Was at Tsarskoe Selo palace , then in early 1930 was sold abroad .

3 . Etude Levitan 322600-387100 $ after the stunning exhibition , I think buyers will find , though the work itself - the average . Another plus in this film is that this sketch for the painting , which hangs in the Tretyakov Gallery .

Another aspect that will be addressed are:
1 . Deineka Guash "Spring " 2.3-2.5 million.
Leonid displays in the catalog authors repeat (it is known that the copies Deineka did not) this film which was written specially for the registration of hotels in Ukraine , where we just stand . And now the second picture is hanging in the office of the hotel manager .

2 . V. Yakovlev, "flower " 27500-30700 $ Guash from the collection of M. Krasnov
3 . V. Yakovlev, " White Bird " $ 27500-30700 Guash from the collection of M. Krasnov
Powerful , nervous , with good temperament . But the estimate oh-oh . It's very interesting to look at the result .

4 . Weisberg 51700-61300 $ was very interesting to see live . I Veisberg because of these white paintings very much . But in this case not on the top 5 . Not have the depth and volume is manifested , on the other side of a rarity .

Because of the publication of a large, thick and beautiful book :)

It is now hanging in the lounge at the booth picture Shishkin.

Expensive :confused:

Sold for 19000000r.

Yes, the auction was a nice day ! Many merchants , as we go along and joked , and applauded . In general, Leonid Shishkin is bidding wonderful - quite democratically , to the extent of emotional , deftly whet the public . I really liked it .
According to my notes - sell 90 lots of 150-7 withdrawn from the auction (19 , 21, 77 , 82, 98 , 101 and 115 )

Konstantin Makovsky Portrait of Children " 1880 , 21.9 h28 , 8 b /smesh.tehnika traded with 1.6 million to 2.6 million .

According to Yakovlev, a bargain was not you remember?

Sooo violently!
First offered both work together to trade, but there were dissenters.
As a result, both work, after a prolonged confrontation between the two parties still have gone in one hand.

Lot 82
Interestingly , it is not accidentally Alexey Pakhomov (1900 -1973) ?

Quite like him , I think , and the signature is not a contradiction: AP X 46 ( initials , month and year of the Roman numeral ) . In his works, you can see a signature (see image. )

Number 1 - a lithograph , and signature imprinted mirror , but it's the same AP XII 60

It was so A.F.Pahomov in the catalog author listed.
The lot was withdrawn from auction.

How can we explain such a price for Yakovlev?

Too large amplitude spike is alarming <!--~ .. 3 ~ ->

As often happens when a good job, like at least two buyers.
