By the way, the company names are very heterogeneous. Not all of these were visionaries, able to go on Izmaylovo fair to go out with a masterpiece. Besides, it came from vastly different wealth (Riabushinskii and Talochkin) and different motivations (Morozov and Costacis).

That's right, I just tried to show that these people of different times, different social layers, different income and different characters united by one thing - they were buying art, which believed.

And just as a decoration to buy - but for God's sake, why not. I've been walking when Binding in Izmailovo - 90%of orders - posters of movie stars, souvenir "Impressionists" and tapestries framed as if from the Louvre. I like people and good
And our job - to give good advice. One and the same amount a person can spend on the heels of young artists and greyhounds or one good Vechtomov. So it's better buys Vechtomov, they should at least know about this option, rather than posing as "Shchukin.

You raise several issues.
First of all, why, saying "for decoration", you are sending Circadian BP rhythm as potential buyers of art in Izmailovo (I was not there with the famous exhibition in the open air, 74-year, but I think that this is Moscow's equivalent of today's Montmartre?)?
Is everyone likes a souvenir Impressionists, or tapestries, or monstrous kitsch Montmartre - well, sort of hung out in the neighborhood "Russian Klimt? Is this fatal? But what about the grandchildren, who like Hirst? Hirst something - today and tomorrow's many - in Izmailovo not find for him to go to the major galleries.

Then, who will seek out tomorrow Vechtomov? Somebody started to buy them, quote did not come from the air. I think this is where the benefit of your enlightened councils would be difficult to overestimate.

Shchukin, remember, had no more such visionary inspiration after emigration. If I did not confuse

Of all the collectors, like those about whom I know from books or hearsay, and those with whom they know personally, Felix Vishnevsky was the only one who resumed collecting activities, after he had taken away his collection. I think psychologically it is very clear. If I do not confuse

Abramovich, incidentally, can also pozvodit a feed hundreds of young artists, of whom probably grow Basquiat, Haring and Tracey Emin. But why buy something artists with proven investment potential. Can Shchukin - this is the next level?

I would have turned your remark a slightly different way: just let Abramovich buys. I have absolutely nothing against him I do not have, but the fact that from him not fail even if he can not bail out of the picture had bought paid mad money
In some of the articles translated by me saying that modern art always overestimated in relation to the old, and the meaning of utterances was that should not be afraid to buy the actual art on a very prices.
Even then I asked the question: what happens at a time when contemporary art ceases to be a modern and - continue the logic - is old? Jasper Johns is worth more Rubens - in my opinion, this madness, but it does not matter. What will happen when there were dozens, hundreds of new Jones (which you collectors, incidentally, missed buying a reliable Vechtomov)? The question remains open. In my opinion, buy already fully promoted artists at the maximum price - a very risky operation that should be left Abramovich

And, sorry, our grandchildren will also be pleased if my grandfather bought things right, and not just an apartment decorated. Suppose that you personally value is not important, but think something should be There is a golden rule that must be acquired by a thing like. I think the idea is not buzuprechna. Is important that she liked more children and grandchildren. So grow up - I will be sure to follow the tastes, not to wonder why the young like Hirst

What do you mean, the value is unimportant? Rauschenberg once worth $ 100 - when he paid a taxi driver his job. Hopefully, the grandchildren of a taxi driver for his grandfather did not complain: p
Between the material value of paintings and pleasure that you feel from it, there is no antinomy, even though there is no automatic matching. You can buy cheaply now, which is very pleased - and give their grandchildren the opportunity to buy a mansion on Rublovka.
Can be expensive to buy, hoping to resell more expensive - and lose the last pants.
This is where all our hopes on you - you prisovetuete how to spend their money wisely and pleasure.
