Eugene, a nightclub and casino complex in the gallery, apparently, is another example of how the the art of running a business :)

Do you think this is bad?
In London casinos legitimate business ... okay, let a little money, in addition to casinos, and leave in the gallery .. the more contemporary art ..

I do not think even glad.

I do not think that the logic - "Go to a casino, but at the same time will drop into the gallery and buy something" right. Buying a painting is an independent procedure that requires study and immersion approach would not succeed.

Konstantin, Constantine, you believe that if the building is a club, a casino, you can not make a commercial gallery for the sale of antiques, contemporary artists? In Moscow, one of the best antique shops in the hotel .. The hotel Metropol Ukraine branch of Leonid Shishkin Gallery, etc. perhaps you can bring dozens of such examples, and this neighborhood only helps in the business including .. logic is.
Meaning "pogruzhatsya? Usually part of the purchase made spontaneously .. especially if it's contemporary art.

Last week, I had a long conversation with Leonid Shishkin, for life. In particular, touched upon this issue. As he opened a gallery in the Ukraine Hotel, just and relied on more local audience, assuming that such a Number of Mercedes at the entrance to someone and even go down.
No calculation was incorrect.
Worked other factors, but not this one.

What for example?

Entourage Hotel Ukraine is very suitable for the direction of the gallery Shishkina - Stalin's empire, the most luxurious form. A huge number of Soviet-era paintings and sculpture in niches and on pedestals. All were saved and added to new owners (Azeris rumored).
 Triggering effect of the new luxury seats, and it sparked a wave of new and old visitors. Everyone wanted to see this. But this effect is over.
Leonid now makes some of the steps that I will talk to other topics, in particular "how to untwist the artist."
