On October 24 SOTHEBY'S IS IN OCTOBER IN MOSCOW Toplots upcoming auctions

Today we had a press screening of lots SOTHEBY'S, as always in the History Museum.
If you need to experience it in a nutshell: all to drop everything and go watch.
No kidding, one of the best exhibitions of this kind. Items as the selection, just sitting on a masterpiece masterpiece masterpiece and chases. Beauty. And after all that someone will get, eh. Well, let me time and we will be for such items to fight.

In order: A press conference was short, but empty.
Maybe because Mikhail Kamensky was wrapped scarf and barely spoke as he joked when he saw Picasso speechless.
Tezisno:
- Market conditions characterizes the recent sale of Munch for $ 120 million, that is all good, just Give masterpieces.
- SOTHEBY'S dominates the market for 10 years sold only Russian art worth more than a billion $.
- Rumours that Russian buyers are losing interest in Russian art - a lie, they just expanded interests.

That's all, well, on the other hand in such lots, what do you need?
The fact that the expansion of the interests of Russian collectors is, in my opinion, the wording of the cultural changes that are of interest - obviously. Well, so what, we've been noticing this trend.
Bad? Bad.
But again, this is the continuation of a general vector, in this article from the conference on private wealth management we have pointed out that 90%of the wealth of the rich people keep in foreign jurisdictions. Now they are afraid, in the same proportion and cultural values ​​will distribute.

- Sudeikin 200-300 tons Pound.
- Anenkov 15 - 20 t.Funt.
- Baranov-Rossini t.Funt 500-700.

Now for the pictures: The greatest impression on me personally Lempicka , Puni, Sudeikin Van Dongen .
Lempicka , while the estimate $ 2-3 million I think will go for $ 7 million , Sudeikin 200 - 300 t.Funt . there afraid to make a very bold predictions but I think around $ 700,000 plus or minus will be. Puni 1.5 - $ 2 million to his grandmother did not go, Van Dongen $ 5 million and 7 million more

Steep estimate.
Justified it? Sothebys twice exhibited his stuff (in 2010 with an estimate of 80-120 m long and 11 m to 20-30 m pounds), but did not sell them.
How many years ago was worth two in the cabin in the gallery Elysium his beautiful portrait of Madame von Shtryuk 29 g ?
A submitted " Rhythm labor " 27 g thing and even more, but she appears to be a large sketch of the same composition , which the author in 1930, was presented to Berlin and that was before 1943 at the Professional School of Arts and Crafts in Berlin and that in time of war , unfortunately , died. A 94- year?

Aivazovsky lots at auction " Russian Seasons ", in my opinion, more interesting:

Aivazovsky lots at auction " Russian Seasons ", in my opinion, more interesting:

Many gratifying: Masterpieces still there!
Bogolyubov, Weisberg, Yakovlev, Zagrekov - thanks to Russian artists.
Antique dealers, their descendants and happy owners paintings by these artists will be grateful to them for a long time.

Um, where is it they got an early Serov?

Added after 5 minutes 32 minutes
As for the still life with a violin, signed " Pougni " the thing - absolutely excellent , superbly written - only the impression that a few years ago.

Items on the still life in general does not harmonized , bottle shamefully asymmetric ; personally I am Comrade manners . Puni never seen ever.

Absolutely normal work Puni mid 20's, those things he started doing after moving to Paris in 1924, and he is very asymmetry complain ...

T. b. That is a still life " Musical instruments and a bowl of fruit "( h /m, 89h130 ) repeatedly exhibited at shows - twice during the life of the author in 1925, and reproduced , for example , in the catalog of the latest exhibition in the Salon des Tuileries , and Pougny: Catalogue de l'œuvre Berningera .

Here are his still lifes in this neo- classical style , hat and watches , by the way, it is the most expensive thing for today - 315 015 USD, still life , because Chaise et boîte à chapeaux with a huge estimate of 2,000,000 - 3,000,000 USD 8th day at Sothebys, e
