Spring auction VLADEY brought more than €560 thousand
 

On the evening of June 2, 2015 at Winzavod in Moscow held spring auction auction house VLADEY, which was presented to 100 lots. Two works — "Firing missiles" Timur Novikov "In memory of" Seeds Faibisovich — had an estimate of more than €50 thousand, but only one of them has found a buyer: canvas Seeds Faibisovich went for €130 thousand, while the classic textile panels Timur Novikov (estimate: €50-70 thousand) remained unsold.

Lots, gone with the excess of the estimate, this time was a little. Among them may be mentioned the picturesque work of Vladislav Mamyshev-Monroe Deisis (estimate €20-25 thousand sold for €27 thousand), 1965 figure of Ilya Kabakov (estimate €8-10 thousand sold for €14 thousand), painting Edward Steinberg (estimate €15-20 thousand sold for €26 thousand), Vladimir Nemukhin (estimate: €4-6 thousand sold for €27 thousand), Konstantin Zvezdochetov (estimate: €5-7K sold for €13 thousand), Rostislav Lebedev (estimate: €5-7K sold for €10 thousand), Ivan Sotnikov (estimate €2-3 thousand sold for €4.2 thousand) and Vladimir Dubossarsky (estimate €6-8 thousand sold for €14 thousand), graphics Dmitri Prigov (estimate €3-4 thousand sold for €7 thousand) and Sergey Salavina (estimate €1.5–2 million sold for €5.5 million), the collective assemblage of Timur Novikov, Oleg Kotelnikov and Andrei Medvedev (estimate €6-8 thousand sold for €13 thousand).

The main surprise of the auction was active fighting for the work of street artist Timothy's Sake (or rather, a picture of his work "I would hug you, but I just text", executed on steel), a preliminary assessment which was only €1-1. 5 thousand as a result of fierce fighting, the work was sold for €16 thousand, which exceeded the estimate by more than ten times.

Remained unsold works of Ivan Chuikov, Vitaly Komar and Alexander Melamid, Aidan Salakhova, Sergei Shutov, Oscar Rabin, Oleg Dou, Oleg Kulik, Maria Shubina, akhmetgalieva, Andrew's perspective exhibition and the leaders of the two previous trading VLADEY Oleg Tselkov and Georgy Guryanov.

VLADEY from the audience
 

Add. The hall was about 70 registered buyers (on chairs) and another 50 people on foot (the audience). Walking became very uncomfortable, but as they say "when in Rome...".

Bought 10-12 people plus phones. Rukhin, Tselkov not sold. My explanation is not that audience. And how early was that? Maybe in London people?

Very touching bought Kabakov - figure 14 thousand euros. Well-dressed man with his companion. Looked he nodded, she picked up the plate. Easily and naturally. With a full sense of happiness. And need.

For me the second vivid impression of the evening - exhibition of max basheva in the gallery 11.12. It is next door to the auction. Of appropriation on the subject of glossy advertising. New basheva for the style, though recognizable. Buy, Balls someone shipped Packed picture. A large painting is 90 000. But the paper (sheets of advertising, modified paint Basevm) are...'t guess. 1000. For gift progressive person.

A few things from this show is suitable for the theme Image skull art .
