Koller, Auction of 19th Century Paintings, 27 March 2009
 

March 27 will be another auction, namely the Swiss Koller.
Compilation of Russian masters of small, but in my opinion quality.
I liked Lot 3309 (Pokhitonov), of course, Lot 3217 (Polenov), Lot 3213 (Lapshin) and interesting Aivazovsky Lot 3215
Enjoy ...

though I look now at Pohitonova and glozhat doubt ... or is it me after the discussion of the auction Trinity ))... What do you think of this work, gentlemen.

No, I do have a sense Pohitonova ...

vyadem, a good auction.
Pokhitonov there I did not cause any issues, good, it's late, I think.
Gorbatov interesting (Lot 3218), Schultze (Lot 3214), Bogdanov-Belsky (3219), Polenov.
Much, as always, ducks Koester (Lot 3207), Poles interesting (lots 3210-3212).

Cyril Syzransky, definitely good Pokhitonov, very thin and estetsky likely late period.

Thought so, too-late.

How curious, a few days ago, Lot 3324 was on their site, signed by Monticelli. Seems confused signature with lot 3322.

Koller is one of the few auctions, which are rigorously valid in the selection of Russian paintings at their auctions. Because there almost every auction there are good pictures of Russian artists. I have them a few years ago to buy one now, and now future auctions catalogs arrive in the mail. What can I say about this auction - from a Russian feels good. Lapshin, only I was not very much, that something is not right ... But it is more intuitive level than a professional. With his collection of work Lapshin I have something to compare.
About Pohitonova can not say anything. Never faced with this author. Perhaps other forum members know his work better and not on the Internet to determine the authenticity of the photographs and the period of his creativity. I can say one thing - I talked with the French, who came to our museum specifically for photographing and documenting the paintings Pohitonova located there. They said they have visited almost all the museums and some private collections in Russia and Europe with the objective of providing the most complete catalog of works Pohitonova. So they told about the huge number of fakes of this author, especially in Europe. And that now exhibited Koller - Koller one knows:) And it is not a fact that he knows ...

As for me, so normal Lapshin.
