A year ago, in November 2008 in the Ukrainian House opened III International Exhibition-Fair "Art-Kyiv". Exhibition Alexander Gnilitskiy "Modesty and fat" - the main event of "Art in Kiev.

- If a gallery owner requests exclusive, it should be, and do not pay the rent, but take care of their artist. Must take into account the economic factor - who mainly buys contemporary art in the West? Middle class. And here it is not.
- In Kiev, a lot of rich people suffer from complexes, concerned with status. They can easily afford the work of contemporary artists.
- I'm an artist and, say, in physics do not understand. If a person is a businessman all his life he was engaged in earning money, he knew nothing about art, he had no time to penetrate. Although now businessmen became interested in art more ....
