Sotheby's press preview
 

Yesterday was a news show, a large collection interesting . But here's the thing that caught my eye. Remember I complained in the review " Antique Salon " that the press conference attracted little press, but the big Western auction is only a whistle and everything was right there .
And here and there .
See the first photo - half the chairs free and only five cameras. But the picture in 2008 , and in 2009 was the same picture (photo immediately found ) is always 20 to 30 cameras , and where are they?

Which version?

Burliuk, there is great period of Japanese and interesting provenance , with an impressive list of exhibitions and publications
.

Press conference and short presentations of participants. even I would say very brief, but as we know, "Brevity is the soul ..."
So Mikhail Kamensky said he was pleased with the new hall (this time the show goes in a small arena). For the first time presents the entire Spector lots, and not only Russian items (by the way this is not the case, I remember similar options when brought top lots of Western art).
What is it (Michael) love to ask about the situation on the market, and then to write ironic, if not skeptical texts, but it is still us (the media) always appreciates and says this:
- The art market is alive, and no matter what comes up.
- This is evidenced by the fact that they gladly cooperate (as sponsors) grave banks
- During this year has set a record for sales - more than $ 600 million
- The success of this important role played by Russia
- Increase in the number of new customers - 25%
- Of these, more than 35%of our brother Russians, even more specifically the Moscow region, although there is little by little and the other CIS
That's all we are - a little? Not likely, the phrase about the growth was of great interest to me and began phoning the radio station to comment on these words. As I discuss at the end unscrews.

Then the floor was Mark Poltimore.
began by saying that talked about his participation in the film "Trance" and advised to watch it, complained of the heat, and then concentrated on charitable activities. That in the next two months, they are going to sell art on the $ 200 million and to put these funds to various charities. It is natural that the pictures of these objectives provide owners, where the heirs, and where collectors. I have a question and spun his commission Sotheby's also give to these funds, but was afraid to put someone in an awkward position and did not. We assume that, too.
Also Poltimor, after the speech, when asked about the words M. Kamensky, an increase of buyers from Russia, and the reasons for this, skillfully translated the response characteristics of the Russian side to the buyer, say the passion and the desire to buy the best quality of Russians here.

Separately talk about the painting by El Greco, after one of the shows at the Pushkin Museum, my question to her grandmother in the audience, how to get to another building to continue the examination. clapped her hands and exclaimed: - How do you takbystro here already inspected? Yes, I replied. - And you've enjoyed El Greco?
Here I am at a loss, because he knew that he was somewhere in there, but did not go to look, I was interested in more Soutine and other School of Paris, so. And then such an embarrassment. I was confused and went in search of El Greco.
Since I see once I go up to him and stand for longer than usual, offsetting last awkwardness.

About the string pictures are now on Monday.

By the way, the first picture that the second - to 6 cameras and 35 men.

All true, but almost all of the work remain there. It is understandable why <! - ~ 12 ~ -> .
Buyers - the Russians , but it is rather an investment in liquid resources (a kind of "blue chips" ) art market in Europe and the U.S..

Sometimes they bring to the show.

What has to be something else?

Yes, B.Fridman and G.Gens bring.
In the amount of independent shows.
Well done!
Otherwise, isolated cases.


Yes no (I say sadly).
