In my opinion "predicted" prices were listed quite adequately - it is at such prices similar works were sold a year ago. Who could have expected 800 thousand for Goncharova (two years ago there were several sales at 200), almost a million for a small gouache Grigorieva (you may recall that the Russian schedule was sold for similar money?) Or 278 thousand for Manevich (at the last Antique Salon Elysium selling a similar thing in half and, in my opinion, not sold)?? So it is not in the skill of forecasts, but, apparently, is that people, young fish recovered from the crisis, rushed to the exploits.
