On a tip from Cyril Syzran, went on auction in Helsinki. Marketplace auction is located in the city centre, 10 min walk from railway station, near the store Stockmann. Going on listed on the auction site address by ten o'clock I mistakenly taxied into the open space of some galleries, located on the ground floor, and an employee of the gallery, when he learned the purpose of my visit kindly walked me to a nearby parade, explaining that the auction is located on the second floor. On the second floor of a residential building. It seems there was an apartment. Sweetheart Finnish Granny was registered me. Any documents I have to show for it was not necessary. The lots were hung and arranged in the "bathroom" and "corridors". The auction was held in the great hall. According to an employee of the auction they have another site where they sell things cheaper. The auction itself consisted of two parts: Modern (beginning at 11:00) & Classic (continued after the break 14:30). Lots sold in the first part were divided into categories: Glass, Ceramics.... and so I was interested in the category International & Soviet art. The results of the auction on the website. My percentage of good care... at least 40%.
