I want to return to the top of the topic.
Yesterday Krasnopevtsev painting was sold at auction for $ 65000. Apparently the buyer did not raise doubt about the authorship. There were 38 bids, three of them mine, but alas, no luck. And the picture was won by absentee internet rate. Not exclude the fact that very soon work will appear in Russia.
This auction proves once again that even with a small startup items can be sold and 130 times more! The low estimate is not an indicator of illiquidity or counterfeit.
Congratulations to the buyer! Somehow convinced that he sometimes watches this site
This is actually Krasnopevtsev, from the family photographer magazine "LIFE" in the USSR in 1950-60 GG Stan Weyman (Stan Wayman). Simply auction house could not initially identify the authorship and the simple way, the American way
wrote that the author "Krass", as a signature. But the problems with attribution Rabin and Sitnikova they did not have. The first is quite discernible sign, and the second person gave Weyman their work and wrote about it on the back. Pictures of these authors were also sold at maximum prices.
