May in New York City - it does have hot summers (there now, in April, is under 27 degrees). Summer - it is also a traditional time to reduce business activity, including on the art market.

gorelov, "Smart thinking, as always ....

Morozov and Tretyakov as it is often followed precisely such thoughts ... Here's praying for some brands.

There?

I doubt that the main motivation collector Tretyakov and Morozov has been supporting young artists (for age). Otherwise, they would "have collected" - Mom, do not worry.
