Eugene Rukhin, genuine?
 

Lord, I ask for your opinion on the authenticity of the paintings

My personal opinion - this Rukhin authentic. What you have seen in the photo corresponds to the creative imagination Feinberg and his typical collages. The characteristic texture of rough canvas, pasty white , applied with palette knife , the size of the work complies with the known samples , metal -handle lock of old furniture , yellowed varnish ( although, it seems , is a color photograph of disharmony . Whitewash should be more white). In general , there is present a spirit Rukhin, student Nemukhin. And the work itself , it is already sold a long time ago on the American auction Potomac Company in Virginia.

And the amount you calculated for that " black metal handle, the lock of old furniture "?

Father, not attentive to me. Was hooked. :o>

No, not the arm - lock. According to archival records. Here's a size there is named - 39 "x 37.25", 99.06 cm x 94.62 cm. Let me be the topic will correct if I'm wrong. I put it, the handle- lock is not on purpose. For me it is a huge handle on some boxes. And for them , those that sold it lock. And the thing was called "Composition with a lock ."

In the 90's, maybe?

I suggest to wait for artdealers and if he is interested in the question of authenticity, then to obtain the most correct answer or advice, he should have put the size, technique , history, and where he got where he found , etc, etc. . And then I flew and I started here in the role of a volunteer to enter.

And sometimes do not want to specify the source , are afraid of the possible influx of potential buyers for the little auktsionchik . :)>

Size you are correct, passed through the auction Potomack, provenance weak - owned by the family of Virginia for 30 years , is all. Personally, I expect that may be the work has been " blown out " in the market and there is more information on it . Offered price $ 25K , in my opinion, is too high. Vseravno Thanks :)>

25000 - "too"?
And why not?
Although, if, for example, focus on the care of two lots on Rukhin Geneshapiro month ago, then, yes, maybe, and "too".

Is relative. If you look for the care of paintings at Sotheby Rukhin "Behold, as it were, at the best of times, it is not expensive, especially for the work of '69 large.
If you compare the prices that have fallen due to the crisis and post-crisis state, especially in the non-conformists, it is not such a big difference. If you leave in oblivion all the consequences of the crisis, the price of creativity Rukhin grow. Potorguytes little and make a decision.
And in some circles it was said that its mark on pricing Ruhinskih paintings influenced not quite right strategy relatives Rukhin.


 It's a different story. Compare the cost of items of painting with care in this auction (GS), said would not even entirely correct. After that we had seen in the catalog, the impression of the level and quality of the proposed painting, makes taking valokardin. At what passed for Pirosmani without defibrillator could not even watch the monitor. Yes, in other matters, and many other things causing the pain in his eyes. Sorry for the boy Eugene. But the mystery is the fact that the forum these trades were not discussed. I was unable to find or cause is in another?
