Still Life Amashukeli E.
 

Orient, please, at a cost - a good still life E. Amashukeli, 75g. (here in our database)

(Amashukeli Elguja Davidovich (1928, Tbilisi -2002),
Soviet and Georgian sculptor, Honored Artist of Georgia (1965), People's Artist of USSR (1988 )...............)

And the inscription in Georgian: probably just inscribed (with dimensions) by the author, and the top line?

  Inscription:
           Artist VZ Amashukeli
                "Still Life" 26,5 x20, 5
                                   1977. (illegible signature)

Oh, how interesting - the initials of others ...
Ninni, thanks, but there clearly is read?

How birochka? (one word is frightening))) - who would say? similar to the "good" birochku? there is a price - 87.50 - is a normal price for 1977?

Yes, the name is always written next to the size and the name may be for different reasons, it is written twice, here is something like: full name at the top and bottom, under date of the full name of the only (right). The handwriting is the same. Price this could be. Board seems too formal proceedings, whereas they are widely used, no one suspected that would fashion solely on the canvas.

is probably just a signature

- And not expensive for this year?
This tag some hud.fonda? This forum has shown similar work about the same time, but the price if not mistaken, were not nearly half as much, and the size of this small still life.
And for this price it should be then this is the Amashukeli, which this year has already been honored by the artist Georgia ...
How, then initials? ...
These are all thinking - the initials downed ...
- I can not yet find anything on his work,
on search engines head spin ...

This price could arise from the following:
Price of work - 80 rub. 10%commission (saloon, store)=88rub. (87r.50kop.)
For example, it was in the cabin at the Smolensk, where prices were to add on interest - 330rub., 550 rubles., 1100 rub. etc.
It is possible the same variant. We still read what is written in yellow letters on a black background.

Dear Glasha,
-nar.hudozhnik and prices naturally large, and if -is quite different, specify.

The initials are very clear and I am sure that this picture is nothing to ED Amashukeli not have - just a namesake. As for the price - I can not say anything, for that picture much too high (in my opinion) but at the time, much stemmed from personal relationships and sympathies, and few who controlled prices - especially in Georgia.

I hope a little help navigate:)


Several works Elguja for comparison:

I mean Art Salon on export, in which a long time director was MA Bakuleva, and then his head, the Khoroshilov.
