Many artists can not stand to sign their work (one of them I knew very, very good), and gallery owners always stick with the requirement to sign - sovershnno reasonable.

Absolutely agree with you, Liana.
Western people do not understand why a painting or a sketch is not signed, they can not understand that an artist, as well as an actor, not yet played "its primary role, and he always wants to correct something in a painting or finish in the general He considers it unfinished, and therefore not signed. Signed as a rule, be put before the direct sale.
But studies ... because they will in future be used, why should they sign?
So in the end they remain unsigned.
But I did manage to convince one of the artist to sign all their works. Ivan Sorokin later admitted that I was right. Another artist - Viktor Ivanovich Ivanov (surovostilets) flatly refused, citing the fact that in his youth received a scolding from Gerasimova signed for work that appeared last unfinished.
With age, the artists look at their own work through different eyes. They see the positive points that are no longer able to repeat, and disadvantages that ultimately prevented them from signing the work after some time.
Worse, when the gallery owners themselves sign of an artist, especially for the deceased. That they only hurt their reputation or confuse collectors. I have a few such examples. Work authentic and forged signatures.
