Serov $ 4.67 million
 

At an auction in Miami portrait by Valentin Serov was sold for 4.67 million dollars


Here you have a crisis. Fought to the death , it is difficult to count how many steps , beauty.
But I wonder to sell the painting in the domestic market we have here, they would sell for so much ?

Portrayed people known for during Oscar Gruzenberg Bayliss was the main defender.

I think - no.

Let me add a comment on the news of the publication of the "Kommersant":

Customers get rich portrait of Valentin Serov posthumously

At yesterday's auction auction house young FAAM (Fine Art Auctions Miami) in Miami was set a record price at a painting of Valentin Serov.

Serov "Portrait of Oscar and Rose Gruzenberg" derived from the collection painted by granddaughter pair was previously priced at a measly $ 150-200 thousand painting sold for $ 4.1 million (the final price with the auction house commission is not yet known) and it is a record auction price for a great artist formerly not even among the top twenty most expensive Russian artists.
The portrait was painted in 1910 in Sestroretsk customers where they lived, the famous St. Petersburg lawyer Oscar Gruzenberg with his wife. Order from Serov enthusiasm did not cause, the models are not encouraging. It does not help the human rights reputation of impeccable Oscar Gruzenberg boldly takes as bad policy, and particularly "Jewish" of the case (a year later Gruzenberg head protection in the process of Bayliss). In letters to the artist Ilya Ostrouhov complained: "I'm stuck here in Sestroretsk one portrait, does not leave a curse", adding jokingly, "Lucky me on Jews in recent times." Makes him creative satisfaction of Serov in the correspondence is usually called a "portrait portretych" or "patret." Portrait of Gruzenberg he wrote to his wife: "Patret yet, though dirty, but what I wanted to portray, perhaps, and imitated - the province, countryside feel in her face and laugh." In the words of Igor Grabar, first-hand knowledge of the history of creating the painting, customers mercilessly traded with a portrait, so disgusted him that he "avenged for his portrait, which, however, they did not understand." Now Gruzenberg took revenge: not the most outstanding temperature at the whim of the market became the most expensive piece of Valentin Serov.

and even temperature.

He has been an advocate of Gorky, Korolenko, K. Chukovsky P. Miliukov Trotsky ...

Cyril Syzran, so for my mother and myself, VA
was a Jew, it turns out.

According to the Jewish canon nationality is considered by the mother.

If strictly " to the Jewish canon ", a Jew who came out iudeskoy faith ceases to be a Jew and even considered "died".

Velentin Serov-brilliant artist (imho)

And who's to doubt?

Levitan also a genius!

After the departure of the portrait for $ 1, 94 million for Sothebys, Florida result is not so surprising:
