Record sales at Sotheby's
 

At yesterday's afternoon trading on the modern art Sotheby's sold as cakes: it was sold about 93%of lots! It is simply amazing. It was not a single expert who would have predicted a drop in oil prices or the emergence of the global financial crisis, so not a single expert who would have dared predict such a successful sale of contemporary art. There is a crisis in the expert case - there is no prophet in my country!:)

I wonder how consumers will behave now in the galleries? Will the new round of excitement that we witnessed in the last two or three years before the crisis?

Obviously, some time collectors will wait, but that will now, with prices in galleries (very curious)?

Incidentally, before the upcoming Antique Salon, where many galleries decided not to participate because of the crisis, so the successful bidding for the world's leading auction can play at the very hands of those who had decided to take the risk and refused to participate in the Salon.

Also this idea came. See. 28 th same discovery.
By the way, my colleague reported yesterday that on the online auction hammer Zhor attending all week. Ask for advice, sell or remove from sale of items and wait.
However, they talked about DPI.

And that advice?

He advised to think themselves. :): o;)
But the out of the store a few things removed. This is already on the advice of his wife. : shy:

qwerty, can not understand what it all attitude is to our Russian market? Maybe you know something? I personally do not see any changes put the last 2 -3 months in sales. I, for example, fell down the deal is with the 1 st impressionist on the one hand and Russian clients on the other hand, although the parameters were much more attractive "pies" at Christie's, Sotheby ?!.....

Sandro, and I this week (yesterday, by the way) gave хааа-arooooshy: D object.
Davolny like a boa constrictor ... :)

And about the "cakes", little word from the lexicon of Moscow dealers. In Moscow alone, I hear it ...
Even about the "hot" added!

Cyril Syzransky, I did, I mean serious things (no offense), painting on a serious prices, as discussed at the auctions. Well, not sold anything lately!: Eek: But all say they are buying, real cu No!

From the heart, congratulations!

I know that many investors, rather than to try to figure the essence of what is happening, shook his head, trying to figure out what to do with the available assets. And, since no currency or securities, or real estate or precious metals do not enjoy popularity today, they probably rushed to buy art. By the way, probably they are right, alternative art, really, is not visible. At least nothing other stunning success of past auctions, I can not explain. And if so, on Russia's market in the near future we should expect no one to climb, unless, of course, our Rich buratinki not decide that their good fortune - it is in Western art.:)

Our Buratinki not twist their heads, they head to the west have long turned. Now the trend "shavali" (pardon moi for the jargon), digest and will have our Sandro holiday in Chegem! :)
