Lydia Litvinenko
 

Please help me evaluate a picture of Lydia Litvinenko.

"Bouquet", 1928

Oil on canvas.

70 x 61.5 cm

Thanks for 170 views.

Intrigued by the number of hits, but then I saw that only 58.
And with work, as for me, on the manner of Litvinenko did not like. Theoretical prices are high, and you kind of expertise did not. Why?

If it does it, the price of $ 30000 minus the retail markup. Why wrote theoretical prices - no distinguished artist, he stopped writing for 50 years before his death ...
"Retail margins" because themselves are unlikely to sell at prices that order. The seller should be in this case, the hypnotist and the bird Gamayun rolled into one.
The respected bird in trade patterns.

Where does this price, I wonder?
:)

There is a market for works of this author, you can see her auction record?

No market, there is a booth :).

And, yes, yes ...

Zaglyadyal I'm in this "tent" ...
:)

By the number of hits - probably not looked back.
The picture was presented fairly well-known member of the Tretyakov Gallery. In 1994 he was held a retrospective exhibition of Litvinenko in the CHA, and this picture would show there, but my mother refused to give her (scared, but suddenly will not return! :) :) So the belief that this is the Litvinenko is.
Examination did not. At least not yet.
Prices for 3 paintings in the gallery saw 30 to 60.
I understand that such money is not selling. Yes, and hypnosis do not possess.
Pattern are interested in several galleries. I want to see a picture of how much you can realistically sell, ie, not less than ...

And how concerned the gallery offered?

Adequate usually say for how long will take to the commission, and for how many will buy, if you buy it.

I will address this issue, probably next week.
Interest in this picture is, and I would like to know on how much to accept.
Or disagree, let him hang on and on.

Incidentally, in one gallery offered me the most to determine the price.
And how do I do?

Of course, collecting the work of forgotten authors who worked in the 20's and 30's, the case of honor and respect, but from an investment point of view - besperespiktivnoe, in my opinion.
Therefore I see two options:
or to search for a buyer among these collectors or
to shift it to the gallery some, selling her own thing.
Themselves based on their capabilities and needs, make choices, but if any of them, the purchase price will be low, in my opinion - a thing can be sold very expensive.

Yes, theoretically possible to find a collector, for example, students at VHUTEMAS Falk, who will get the job and that of his pupil, but it seems to me a little money, so to speak, "to the heap.
Incidentally, I responded, your still life, but in another topic. :)
