The price for this level things are quite consistent with the period of crisis that we are now experiencing.
Large Sterling prepared for collectors of paintings 1920s-30s. One of the top lots - the landscape "At sunset" Trofimova, written in the 1920's clearly influenced by creativity Aristarchus Lentulov, estimated 900 000 - 1 200 000 rubles.

Pay attention to the work of Leningrad artists David Borowski and Yefim Rubin. "Lives" of the Soviet leaders and the iconography of them created by filmmakers and artists. A great number of reproductions of bad reps and create the illusion of abundance variations of this material, but, in reality, accurate, skillfully composed and qualitative iconography is extremely rare in the market, and in our auction this - genre scenes with Lenin Borowski and Rubin. We estimated they were inexpensive - from 30 to 50 000 rubles. Collectible same value them - are much higher.
For fans of the earlier painting - in the top lots - "Winter Landscape" Guzhavina (500 - 600 000 rubles), a follower II Shishkina with excellent etude "Forest" (300 - 350 000 rubles). We are confident that someday someone will prove that this sketch was painted by the great artist himself, is so brilliantly its quality. "

SergeiSK I want to thank you for your attention to our gallery. I confess, before I am pessimistic about the art on the Internet, about which he spoke sozdaelyam site artinvestment. But over time I felt in the wrong. Many interesting and useful information. Curious and a forum. Interest Soviet art is ready to answer their questions about the works exhibited in our auctions.

Leonid Shishkin,
Leonid, thanks for the kind words! I think you will enjoy conversing in this forum. People here are mostly literate and passionate. Quite pokupaemosposobnye:) Personally, I regularly monitor your auctions and post information about them. Sam participated in auctions to buy from you by Peter Kotov. And also address proposals on exhibiting their paintings at auctions. He received quite friendly and adequate responses to your employees. But Sovkom offered greater estimate and I sold their Nalbandyan through them. But there is still much to offer, because I have very good works of famous Soviet artists. You are very interested Sandyrev long intend to buy his work.

SergeiSK
I will be glad posmootret your work for our next auction, or just buy them for collection galleries. In fairness it should be noted that now is the time to buy rather than sell Soviet painting, as is evident downward price correction, not only because of the crisis, but also a noticeable decline in interest in this period. (Obvious proof - the third floor of CHA during the last antique interior, where Numerous earlier picture of social realism gave way to rows of icons and inexpensive Western European antiques.) What, however, represents only a close another surge of interest in this period.

Thank you, Eugene, for rapid communication of the results of our auction, although the final outcome is determined only in the next two weeks. First, it is good to all successful bidovavshie customers paid off their lots, which, unfortunately, is not always. Secondly, recently there has been, one might say, the trend continued when the buyers do not participate in the auction, and after coming to the question: "Well, what you have left?", Hoping thereby to get the best price. And that is typical, receive it. But at the same time by 10-20 per cent improve our results.
     Another curious that this time most of the money brought by foreign buyers, which is not observed as early as five years. However, this same tendency to fix our internet sales in recent years. Most orders are from the United States.
