Where to start?
 

Dear forum users! I know we have so many experts and gurus of the business) Please advice.
I dream of careers in antiques and works of art. I can not choose some particular direction. How? Where to start?

Yours.

With their financial capabilities. Think about it, and the direction in antiques and art that you like. If the desire to coincide with the possibilities begin!

Thanks for the quick response!
I mean not investing its own investments, the search for work in this area. Make it more difficult is that I live in Krasnodar, but not in Moscow, where the market is more developed.

Where to start?
 

-From "History of Art" ...

Recommend, pliz, good literature)
And if you can, ssylochki)
I would Pts preznatelna!

We need to start with a love for art.
Love - or she is or not.
Imitation of love in art does not pass (in the sense - not tricksters).
If you have an irresistible love, or attraction to these works of art, start to get good education before reaching retirement age.
If you are lured untold earnings from trade in works of art, it is forced to disappoint you. In artbiznese earnings begins only after the "flight" and only when you will have an unmistakable flair.
Like dogs.
Top flair to a single glance to be able to assess things. Using words and banknotes to catch her. And then the long and hard to work the next purchase is lower instincts, digging the earth, a lot of literature and the Internet to confirm the fidelity of his top flair.
To get a sense, some do not have enough of his life.
You do not write that long ago picked up a consuming disease antiquary - buy, must buy, another chance will not.

It may begin to engage in banking?
The earnings of bankers decent, and even a mnogonyuansnogo instinct there is not necessary.
Dribbling a Salvage and no problems.

The choice is yours.
I just expressed my personal opinion based on his personal experience. The real antiquities without love for antiques does not happen.
And without this love is not important than trade. Picture or potatoes.
Trading for the money.
And no more.

Thank you very, very encouraged by your words)

In Sochi, where I live, the situation is worse than in Krasnodar. Just one antique gallery in the museum and dumb kind antique shop in the city market. Two art galleries, where you can only order the frame, the rest is of no interest. There are a number of collecting coins, stamps, badges, china. Five or six people collect paintings. And for Sochi's standards collection may consist of no more than a dozen paintings. But suppose it is Aivazovsky or next picture. Collectors of contemporary art there. Art dealers there. Well, in Krasnodar, as in the regional center should be plenty of opportunities to realize themselves in the antiques business. I personally know a few very enthusiastic antiquarians :)
So, I think, myself, you can fulfill your potential and Krasnodar.

There is three, three and a half and you everything will be in Sochi, as in London now: Malakhov come and have a lot of fans))))

But what you're talking to? A man that wants to do in Moscow?
At the counter in the souvenir shop to stand in the gallery show off, Gop-stop art dealers ...
He did not say anything. And we told him: "Art History")
Perhaps in his profession is too much?)))

These figures, and so here from June to October hang. From the same Malakhov, before the presidential-prime minister's administration. But apart from the sea, mountains, nature, spirits, and kebabs are few that are interested in Sochi.
And as in London every three years in Sochi will be. During the remaining years before the Olympics in Sochi sell funds equal to 50-year budget of the city. The breakthrough will certainly be great. But the art is a little true. Yes, it will be here and the Year of Film, Theatre and Year, and Year of Museums. But this one-time action, does not affect the development of arts in Sochi. And by and large doing here galleries and museums?
