Thank you, Eugene! I am pleased to continue ...
Participation in the exhibition fair
«HUDGRAF 2011» - the event is absolutely the antithesis kind.
If only because Litmuzey absolutely free of charge to the artist for the exhibition are a house for three weeks and participate in HUDGRAF starts with what you have to pay quite a lot of money for the lease of a piece of Maa-aalenkogo wall.

But you are guaranteed:
- Large chelovekopotok viewers in a mass which must swim a certain number of potential buyers and.
- And then stand maalenky, respectively, as compared to any personalkoy minimum cost design
- Well, and informational support of the highest quality. That's really cool works! Me most amused and pleased slogan "Kocheyshvili on HUDGRAF 2011, who a few days hanging at the main soccer site Chempion.ru.
Well, damn nice and polstitelno have seen ads show on most news sites, where the picture was Kocheyshvili after De Chirico and Valentin Serov.
But with chelovekopotokom buyers is more complicated. Members of this event, it was noted that people in the HUDGRAF this year's walk even more than usual, but buyers in their crowd was less than ...
My same observation about this important issue are as follows:
Virtually none of these collectors do not buy work at "HUDGRAF" ... Well, unless that tiny little bit of daddy fished something for fun. In fact, they know where I can buy what they need, and first-hand, and certainly cheaper. Then, they are professionals! Accordingly, there is a hope for other folk: novice collectors, enthusiasts - collectors, designers ... And sometimes, suddenly, from the State Duma in front of the lunch break starched deputy escaped, buy anything, and carries a bag to the exit - myself wondering, looking to buy at arm's length with disbelief ... And so I watched

And then it becomes an important factor is that fair HUDGRAF - very big. The exposition is incredibly colorful, many galleries prefer "hanging carpet, everywhere there are daddy and other zamanilova ... and a little stand here not acting in the best way. It is hard to say about the artist in three or four papers. Especially if the artist does not set itself the task of doing things that will be immediately apparent.
But in general, participation in this project was very useful for us. Although during the five-day exhibition, no work Kocheyshvili not been purchased, but over the next two weeks, the studio already, took a few from the exhibition of graphic works by the artist. They were purchased new friends - very nice people - who first saw and pointed to himself scheduled to BC HUDGRAF and there took my business card. So in terms of tying new contacts it works.
And of course, I liked to exhibit with the guys from
Dominants (I participated in HUDGRAF not by itself, and in the studio "Dominant" - Commonwealth of collectors and art dealers in Moscow, famous friends, the if someone does not yet know
>) with them to sit on the bench was very interesting and fun. And the artists they were just wonderful, so that the work Kocheyshvili were in beautiful surroundings.
