Konstantin, I understand that the problem is put cynically, investment advice such as buying the best of the fact that like most and the best of what the advanced understanding, are not suitable.
And the amount of complex, intermediate - neither there nor here. Like 35 thousand dollars to buy a car. That is a car class D (conditionally Honda Accord) is a bit lacking, but for P, that is, Honda Civic, too much and unwise to spend so much money.
Tends to the fact that with such a sum, little more is better, IMHO is to aim at things only high quality but affordable period. It is clear that once again slipping into understandable shestidestyatnikam (which you are not alien, as soon resulted in Cooper's example). That is, not smaller, not wasted in a "portfolio" of several works, and buy one, maximum of two paintings, but the best quality. Buy a dozen sheets do not graphic, but a good oil. This does not exclude that successfully worked with dozens of sheets of graphics you can earn more money. But the only labor required is several times more than the management of a "portfolio" on pristraivanie works. This can make a gallery owner, but not the person in charge of these investments in their spare time. With one or two paintings will be easier to cope. And despite inflation should not make a purchase in a hurry.
So, if you take things with a high investment potential (successful paintings Securities periods), then this is what can be bought for 100 thousand dollars:
1) 0,6 paintings Dmitry Krasnopevtsev
2) 1-1,5 paintings Oleg Tselkov
3) 1,5-2 paintings Vladimir Nemukhin
4) 1,5 paintings Dmitry Plavinsky
5) 1-1,5 work of Vladimir Yankylevsky
6) 1,3 paintings Eugenia Rukhin
7) 2 different oils Vladimir Yakovlev
8) 2.5 by Natalia Nesterova
and so on ...
that is, if the dream in a cynical vein, then, for example, buy a cool Yankylevsky, with the balance to finish graphics of different artists. But if by hand you can buy two good oil Yankylevsky, or add Krasnopevtsev and buy a good, better, probably, to do so. Well, more accurately, I think so.

And we need to understand that bringing the whole "math" contains a lot of conventions. Collector in the theme of work and buy a better and more profitable than an outsider. And a lot of time can take. Hurry - people laugh, but inflation, no one has repealed. A search of good works may be delayed, it's not fast, good things in the supermarket in a row does not stand by hand appear.
