Wanted to write yesterday, but there was no time.

When I hear the next tale, "found in the attic /basement /closet, etc. in" places, I'm almost 99%sure that everything is made-up stories cover marketing scam. Previously in the cellars of the old recipes found alchemists potion which gave immortality, good fortune and cure of all ills. Now, are miraculously preserved paintings of the greatest artists.

It is one thing, if we find in the attic of a little-known artist's canvas, I still believe that. Not everyone knows the famous artist in a foreign country, and quite unknown in his country. Well, for example, in Norway knows little Tkachev brothers, very famous in the post-Soviet space. Such a pattern can be seen in the Norwegian farmer and he will not even know how it is valuable.

But do not know Aivazovsky (Dali, Picasso and so on) it still did not know about Mercedes in his garage. It's all garbage. Do not believe it. This is not the mountain village of Badakhshan, where people live the primitive system, and to them that Aivazovsky that mountain sheep - one field berries. In this age of Internet, TV, globalization, constantly touring exhibitions is simply not possible not to know.

About Aivazovsky, then an icon for all the world's marine painters. And paintings by Aivazovsky - a great many throughout the world.

And then there's the name of Samarin. He had already resigned from Sotheby's, or from there, "left" for such "Aivazovsky"?

And if, for example,
Unsigned [/URL]?
Anything can happen.
But trust, verified, if possible.

My speech does not apply to this canvas , but refers to the statement of an athlete :
1. Sufficiently great works are in museum (or other) meetings with the wrong attribution or even without it.
2. Not necessarily the subject should be in the closet. Until now, the walls and shelves of urban residents ( from large to small not ) kept a certain number of items from the mid - level is above average - up masterpiece . Confirm not only their guesses , inferences , and life experiences.

Ivan Samarin is a connoisseur of art by Ivan Konstantinovich Aivazovsky , he gathered a lot of material about his life and work and published a monograph co-written , well-known both in Russia and abroad : Ivan Samarin now runs his own consulting company , specializing in Russian art, as well as organizes auctions of Russian art for Stockholms Auktionsverk - the oldest auction house in the world and one of the largest in Scandinavia.
And by Aivazovsky turned to him , I think , of all first-line auction houses , who conducts auctions of Russian art.

I do not know where in runet has information on the " Norwegian Village" ?
On the auction site only says that the painting by Aivazovsky - from a private collection . And here ' lofts /closets /basements ? "

For the thousandth time you want to recall that in Sweden there is no war for the third consecutive century , and Norway , although it was under the Nazis, but little or no damage to the material did not suffer .
This is me to the fact that in the homes of inhabitants of Scandinavia from generation to generation, carefully transfer the legacy and keep the painting , porcelain, letters, photographs, books and other fragile values ​​- sometimes quite unique .
So the explanation of " got from my grandmother inherited" there are quite true nature . Often, the heirs are not even aware of the true value of what hangs on the wall or lying in a desk drawer . A living example of that - which occurred several years ago for selling many millions of works by Rubens at Upssalskom shareholders . This picture hung on the wall under the stairs in the house of an elderly couple who did not know how to get rid of it and were willing to sell at least a thousand euros ...

So that's the same :

Well, one friend of my friend hung landscape , such as a copy of a Caspar David Friedrich. He offered him the type for 6000 francs.
Then it turned out that the original.
Now in the London National Gallery. Was bought for 15 million francs.

If you are interested , I can tell .
(Although, it seems , has already told

==========
A good Aivazovsky .

Cyril Syzran, as a monograph on the artist quite unknown may be well known around the world ?
