V.Patyk, National Artist for Four Corners
 

Good day ! Since Vladimir I. Patyk - one of the artists whose work interests me very much , could not pay attention to his work presented at the Four Corners at the end of last year, and is not for sale - http://www.korners.com. ua/lot/28488 /
I would like to know the opinion of respected members of the forum on this work , as well as the reason for neprodazhi lot - the high price ?

On the one hand he seems popular, but on the other rating 4.
Which has a lot of very inexpensive artists.
However , since it is still popular, take the bar higher cost of its rating of the topic - How much does an artist. And she had $ 2,000 . But for the important works of the author.
Even in 2000 a half times lower than the lower estimate your picture .

A work - it is not significant . And even depression - the collapsed house, the old woman , mandatory Zelenka sovdepovskih craftsmen.
So feel free estimate can be divided by 3 , or find another great lover of Patyka .

Vladimir Patyk - an artist whose work I really love and respect . Do not know how it rated and what it means to "4", but it seems to me , two thousand for the painting folk artist 50x70 - it's a very modest .. Tried googling on other sites :
http://www.gs-art.com/search/?q =%D0%BF%D0%B0%D1%82 %D1%8B%D0%BA - it cost more than 2 thousand for a much smaller size. However, I do not know departures .
http://www.dykat-auction.com.ua/index.php?gall=9&dec=60 - lot number 58, was sold for $ 800 , size - 25h16 .
Like, is not so clear , with a price .

Probably, this work would not have anyone to your liking.

Can and has been sold, but who you know that?

The general list of its auction sales have only 2 entries 1200 and $ 1300.

Neither the 800 nor the more desirable 3000.

So I said the employee of the auction house, on the phone.

And what of the "general list of auction sales"?
It is in Ukraine, all the time?

So, for example, based AI more entries, namely 10.

But the results are indicated only on three lots - your unsold item on the Four Corners and the two results on the Kiev Gelos: in 2008 - 1200 USD and 1300 USD.

If this is the "rating " from here http://rating.artunion.ru/, it is no wonder - there almost all Ukrainian artists, with the exception of academics, Ukrainian and those that are registered in Russia , Russian , have a rating not higher 4V.naravne quite unknown to her , such as Ivan Semynin Emel'yanovich . This has already been written , as well as on the prices of Kiev auctions.
And since Vladimir I. Patyk , Lviv and more , even if he had three times the academician , he ordered more than 4 n and a c d e a.

By the way , the work can hardly be called " Black Island ", because Patyka not native village located in the mountains , most of the plain . The painting depicts an old Boykovskaya " hut" in the Carpathians. Vladimir I. in many of his works, trying to capture the image of the " vanishing of Ukraine" - the old hut , mills, Hutsul life , traveling around the Carpathians , sometimes far away from civilization . But the artist does not have much work in a similar emotional tone - for me, it is very well conveyed mood .. IMHO, this work would suit the name of "Solitude" or "Evening" .

And can not score and rating?
