Deadline day of the show was rough. Immediately answer the many exciting question-Bought a "Big Apple"? - Yes, it is purchased.

 Women's Day, after inspecting the entire exhibition, and said a lot of warm words, stopped in front of the three color abstractions, praise them and started crying and said, "Sorry, I could not keep the tears, you are doing something incredible with color ...." and quickly left. I was disappointed, no one cried in front of my paintings and I had no idea that there are people so sensitive to color. The guard remained indifferent to the tears ... to my slight irritation of the guard sat almost all day on my chair at my table, because their post in 5 Hall of highly barrel.
  The people were many. For lunch, popped Arthur Krupenin-TV star, a showman, many know him on a talk show on TV - a tall, very charming, with a beautiful woman, his wife. He found my work on Artnau in the summer, we corresponded, but because of my goings to and fro were able to meet just now - he just liked some of my work and would like to see them live. This is a theme-how to attract the attention of people from showbiz and magazines for your creativity? response, very simply write a good painting, and they will find you.
Then the sequence of events, I remember vaguely - began preparations for the Vernissage oread, people coming, like water from a broken pipe. Some collectors came and told me, that they hang in the office and at home, buy a catalog. Began arriving journalists, photographers, event attracted a couple hundred people, including a live orchestra and all the stars of painting. Tightened and some of our forum users, Samvel, Peter, looked stern Sim, said she wanted to see the texture of my paintings before the judge about it .... Dear Sim, you moved by me to tears .. this is a schepitilnost in matters of criticism remains even not in the 20th and the 19th century .... And what my invoice .... but as a "yellow pear on a plate 'texture I do not use.
Some people walked around for a long time the "Big Apple", but the attention of potential buyers could I give just a little bit, at the same time, artists have come and insistently invited me to go with them to Argentina.
 Away for free to grab a pie and wine in oread, I got the pie, and the wine is gone. Mr. Bogdanov tried to remove compromising frame-Iksigon gags khalyavnyy another pie from someone else's Opening Day - but I told him I did not shame and quietly dozheval pie.
 All this occurred against the backdrop of the beautiful music of live band with a saxophone.
 Forgot to say that some day again had a conversation with me, that I own disgrace low prices best exhibition hall in Moscow and would have to raise prices by 2-4 times.
 Met at the opening of the artist, whom I saw in the studio painting and there he was the best in drawing, but I found his work online. Led him to her, sat her down and asked, "Why you do not have the Internet?" - "I have no computer, no money to buy ..." "Sell the pictures!" - "And they will take 200 dollars?" - I answered - "The Work of art worth as much as he is willing to pay for the viewer ... start with 1,000 rubles, sell 20, buy a computer, will further increase ...."
 In my opinion, he left in doubt whether to give figures for 1000 rubles, for nothing ....
People with oread sold, there was everything on schedule.
Came a big family, beckon me - I: "You wanted to ask something about the job?" - "No, we want you to buy this work (fovistsky landscape with a boat). And even some in a couple of ..."
So gone "Big Apple".

Despite the fact that it is one of the most respected gallerists Russia from the 90s, there is no arrogance, arrogance, by type, "I post a portfolio of artists in the trash without looking." Open daily, lugging paintings, along with their employees, and the time to talk to Tsereteli, or open a speech at the Opening day several hundred people.
