There are several points that I would like to note in connection with this history.

The market of Russian art has grown in absolute accordance with the increase in oil prices. In Bloomberg's schedule was such a rise in prices at auctions Christie's and Sotheby's and the rise in oil prices from 2004 to 2010 - they are absolutely identical. Vekselberg bought the painting in 2005. This purchase marked the beginning of the boom of Russian art. Apparently, then collectors have been less careful and choosy. And it seems ironic that this sign for the market of Russian art purchase was a false start.

With regard to the proceedings - the history is ambiguous. I'll just keep ourselves catalog Christie's. In the "terms of purchase" in paragraph 5 says that Christie's guarantees the product for five years, that is warranted for the "Odalisque" Kustodieva expires on November 30. But there are a number of refinements, which allows them not to pay a fine in case of forgery. For example, as stated in paragraph 5.1, they are not obliged to pay if their attribution agrees with the generally accepted at the time the opinion of experts.

In addition, this history is important to remember that Christie's is not the seller. It is only an intermediary, who vouched for the quality, but not a main participant in the transaction.

The last thing I would like to say: the market is now a fantastic number of fakes of Russian art. As for the art of the early twentieth century, so there's often impossible to distinguish the fake from the original. Scientific methods of dating are not very active, and the only thing that guarantees the originality of work - a provenance.
