Today, finally, he saw a private collection that I have seen twenty years ago and some things from which dear to my heart even then (when I'm painting is not done). The owner then was in Mexico, then rode in the mountains on skis, then somewhere else, but occasionally grown together today.
Alas, from my favorite painting, he decided to get rid of, sent it to the auction, too sentimental, bought by my wife. " Collection of amazing and lots of names of first-line AD-Hockney, R. Dibenkorn, Baselitz,
Joan Brown, Thibault. And the authors unknown to me, for example, David Bates, Miguel Barcelo. And along with it, is simply the work of students and graduates of the Art College, which do not look worse. Began to collect in 70 years, mostly works on paper, including printing. Average purchase price in those years-500-800 dollars for the work on paper. Themes Collection no-like that, then buy it. There is absolutely phenomenal sculpture. Of course, I did not photograph.
A curious detail, when I asked, whether to buy it directly from the authors? (Seeing a number of works by one author) - he was very surprised ... "No, I bought in the gallery .. just stopped by and liked that, buy". Old antique authors never bought, too costly, and in general the idea of ​​investing in art it absolutely does not like.
