Forecasts

Speaking about the prospects of the market of socialist realism, note the following: today the first names of socialist realism become one price range with previously unattainable by the Russian avant-garde artists and significantly potemneyut art of the XIX century. Maybe the next step will be a joint art projects with the countries of the former Soviet bloc, Germany and Eastern Europe (here comes first on the memory of the recent experience of Gerhard Richter, which in 2014 remembered that started with socialist realism, and even made in the USA the corresponding exhibition), but the most promising and most importantly, the obvious direction of cooperation is possible with China.

Do not forget about the potential until malozatratnogo in trade of socialist realism Christie's - in fact, as we will not forget about Sotheby's and his interest in Russian partners. And ICAC, which, according to Masuta Fatkulina, plans to bring at public auction not more than ten papers per year - there is a calculation to keep the proposal, causing higher cost, and the harsh reality: a quality product on the market socialist realism in the free market is extremely small, and the competition should be high. "Today people are buying poor quality of work, gone. On the background of General garbage "pearls" will grow steadily in price," - said Leonid Shishkin.

One thing-would have the social realism enough buyers? Or it will count Alexei Ananiev and Andrei Filatov?
