That's interesting. Two works by Goncharova sold at Sotheby's on June 9 with the results of 2,281,250 GBP and 1,161,250 GBP and the same day, another on Bonamse with the result of 1,700,000 GBP. Why is this Christie Goncharova not sold it? Because of the high prices and doubts about the authenticity?

Nik, that is to say, rather strange job. Subject crucifixion in general was not very popular among Russian artists (after all we have - not Catholics), especially among the avant-garde artists who were to religion, to put it mildly, skeptical. And here - on the one hand Jesus, suspiciously similar to Larionova, on the other hand - helplessly realistic Russian birch trees and a peasant woman, just some Irish stew for Jerome. Claimed estimate should correspond to a masterpiece, but here a completely different case. I'm not saying anything about the authenticity, because it does not see this thing "live".

Alex, Thank you very much, interesting.
June 10, 2008 in the Gallery "SOVCOM" the auction "Paintings and Drawings XX century." Accidentally info.net that sold, what is not.

Alex, Christie's in general this year failed - have sold slightly more than £ 11 million (Sotheby's - more than 30 million, even McDougall has done more).

Work is not the best, and you are absolutely right, not seeing the original, it is impossible to talk about its authenticity.
I do not quite agree with you about "a skeptical attitude toward religion avant-garde. Goncharova just an exception - since 1910, she often turns to Christian themes. Of course, to some extent, this obyasnyaktsya interest to the icon and splints, but in my opinion, not exclusively.
As for the resemblance of Christ with Larionov, on the back of the picture is the inscription "Larionov", so perhaps it is not by chance?
The peasant does not embarrass me too - witness its remarkable cycle krustyanskih works "(I love Goncharov).

LCR, compare campesino you specify the cycle and "Liturgy" with the characters of this work - in my opinion, the difference is obvious. And, in my opinion, the interest in the icon and religion - it is too different things.

After the weekend, apparently, information appears.

You do not serditel, I compare:)

I've already written - the work is not the best, but it can and Goncharova.

Of course, interest in the icon and religion - it is too different things, but in my experience, the artist does not write (except for work order, a prime example - the artists, which collects Eugene, two leaders in the rain ", etc. ) subjects, which is indifferent or hostile.
I think that in the religious works of Goncharova's got a real zeal, but this is just my opinion, and do not take it for something more.

LCR, I absolutely agree with you, this can failed Goncharova. I wonder how people value the same things: I believe in the "religious" work of Goncharova's religion does not even smell it, rather, the theater.
