Opinion professional in the field of antiquities gallery owner Oleg Tairov
- Oleg Petrovich, you are engaged in a long time antique business?
- Antique business takes a lifetime to 1970, and since the late 1980's in the same field of work and my wife - known galeristka Elena Maiorski. My wife and I happy for this activity complementary tandem: I have a degree in economics, but it - art. I have positioned themselves not as a collector, but as a professional trader works of art. Of course, those works that I like, I leave. This is mainly graphics, watercolors XIX - early XX, that fits in the concept of the gallery.
- The gallery specializes in what?
Gallery commercial, and their main directions - the classic Russian art of the XIX and first half of XX century. This is mostly paintings, but there is a good porcelain, bronzes, furniture. We are also interesting and the art of Russian avant-garde, but now has its own difficulties: the art is very easy to forge. We did at one time and contemporary art, but it turned out, for various reasons not entirely interesting. Grow more or less the price only of the sixties, but young and talented can be counted on the fingers. Also, we basically do not do icons, ceremonial objects and weapons. I can buy an icon for yourself or as a gift, but not for sale.

- As you select items?
- Principle Gallery: Better fewer, but better. We are carefully selected, sometimes I compare us with the whale, who through his mustache filter plankton. A sieve has many good things were washed out of the market ended up in collections, and we meet them now twenty years later, when children and grandchildren will sell these meetings. We ourselves carefully check things before you buy or take on the commission, using a microscope, viewed in the ultraviolet and infrared light. In addition, over the years have produced Antiquaries sixth sense. We provide quality. We now have in the gallery are very good works by artists of the first series - Ivan Aivazovsky, Lev Lagorio, Mikhail Nesterov, Henry Semiradsky. Widely represented and second names.
- And what challenges you face in your work?
- Now, of course, great difficulty with the examination. Customers have not yet had time to get used to a private examination, many have switched to European auctions: the name gives a sense of assurance. This community is just been established to address issues arising in the market.
We have established a code of ethics of relationships in the market, together with Rosokhrankultura developed rules antiques trade, submitted documents to the International Confederation, which includes about 35 countries. We have nothing new to invent, and use the centuries-old experience of European colleagues.
- Who is the main buyer of antiques, describe his client.
- The number of people investing money in antiques and collectors share becomes smaller.
Many people consider antiques from the standpoint of profitable investment opportunities, much greater than bank deposits. However, it happens that people start buying for investment but then so addicted art that become the real connoisseurs. We strive to build trusting relationships with clients, many tell, donate books.
People who know how to make money, quickly learn, grow and become real collectors. New book gives a good material in the gallery: If you have a reputation, buyers will always.
