The new auction of a series of "Russian classics. XX Century" will be held February 28 - the last day of winter. The dominant genre of this auction - landscape. Presents the work of V. Chulovicha, E. Reshina, E. Bitkin, V. Trofimov, DV Lebedev, J. Titov, V. Serov (senior), I. Sandyreva, both Shurpinyh, three of D. Nalbandian and work became Traditional recent auction Shishkina - Nov Gedenidze.
One of the most interesting lots of the auction - a female portrait by Yuri Pimenov. Executed in 1930, it bears the features of both early, expressive mannerisms period remains, and later - a bright and soothing. The work of painter closely examines the effects of evening light.
The main intrigue of the auction - the work of Abram Arkhipov "On the river Oka, written by the artist in 1918. Experts have not developed a consensus on the authenticity of the work. Leonid Shishkin and the buyer gives the viewer the opportunity to judge yourself. Available willing - conflicting expertise of two leading museums in the country - the State Tretyakov Gallery and the GRM.
I personally do not like it except for "In the country," D. Nalbandian and three works by Sandyreva. I think and Nalbandian (low estimate), and Sandyrev sell. Arkhipov unlikely ...
Incidentally buy work Sandyreva who have suggestion:)

It is interesting to discuss why. Prices too high? Chat with multiple friends at the "Salon 26" points of view are as follows: For a little sales have gone, but the prices are needed for this in less than two deadlines were grown in two three-fold. On the other hand say that nismotrya to any supply crunch normal things at prices below what was not. Major sales at the Salon until like not noticed.
