I had a precedent with the author's repetition. Five years ago I bought a picture of AI Glazunov. And the summer of 2006 looking at Sotheby's Russian auctions find "their" painting sold!
I think somewhere around $ 20000-25000. While in Moscow, has a meeting with Ilya Sergeyevich. He has given me a lot of time talking on different topics. As for my paintings, then at its stretcher number written in pencil 5. This is the fifth option. A Gallery of Glazunov, the second went off at Sotheby's, where two more he did not know, but the fifth was from me. From each other, they differ in size and small details.
And yet it seems to me that the artist makes the author's repetition (s) in order to achieve maximal ideal of his plan.
