«first in the history of Leonid Shishkin Gallery auction with a starting price of a single fixed» -
5000 rubles.
«... unprecedented action of Leonid Shishkin Gallery, above all, intended to prove that auctions - this is not a closed elite area, accessible only very rich people. November 19 auction will be a kind of "open doors day" in the gallery, the task of the event to attract new buyers, collectors and beginners simply art lovers, giving them the opportunity to participate in this auction. The idea of such an action has been taken from the experience of French auction houses that have already carried out several years' weekends auctions "across the country.»
Opportunity to purchase paintings and graphics of token money, including and the masters of the domestic art of Pavel Sokolov-Rock, Peter Petrovicheva, Dmitry Nalbandian - has attracted a lot of people. There were foreigners.

Unsold lots 7: 10, 42, 43, 49, 76, 99, 104
Sold prior to auction: 17, 37, 39, 52, 60, 64, 75, 83, 84, 85, 96, 101.
