Sotheby's have looked today. First of all, as promised - on Petritsky. In my opinion Petritsky 395-398 - artificially aged modern replica, with several manufacturers overdone, this uneven, fragmented aging of paper usually does not happen. But Petritsky 402-403 clearly made with his other hand and apparently made a very long time, but I do not believe that it is Anatoly Petritsky, at least they are quite different in style from the previous letter I have seen perfect Petritsky. These two lots are not signed, and why they attributed Petritsky I do not understand.
Next: as always, a lot of funky Korovin, very suspicious Annenkov (№ 419) - how could such a brilliant draftsman prevent double line on the right leg and to make such a repulsive person? Not successfully arranged the manufacturer Burliuk (№ 433) and from the evening trades quite like Larionov, Exter and Bogomazov: the first two of these, but simply failed work, Exter, alas, again causing great somineniya.
Of the positive emotions - Gorbatov, so much excellent work on my memory the first time, after this auction has become clear how to determine the authenticity of this wizard.
