On how the people got excited a !
I can understand - bought freely falshak for their blood and thereby accepting a full lohom (I use all the familiar terminology), one nevertheless does not want to end chuvstvovt like an idiot. Yes, and money wasted sorry.
Yes, auctions, shows, yes - there are dishonest people everywhere, yes, of course - to sue a private person - and what's from Russia, not having to Western countries are no normal legal arrangements, with a solid company is difficult, and so etc. ...
Perhaps some forum members will be unpleasant to read further, but nonetheless.
Mentioned here Upssalsky auction is aimed mainly at Russian clients. What is this "Russian client" in the vast majority? I saw with my own eyes: bumpkin with raspaltsovkoy and their ladies, hung with diamonds from the top to tail and outgoing blue steam in their sables not removed even in the room.
If a customer buys five paintings by 50 thousand dollars each - who he is, by definition? No one local collector, who lives on a fair income and paying taxes, afford it can not, is a medical fact.
At such a beast of a hunter and his running - in the last 10-15 years in the house upssalskom formed a special, shall we say, the collective. Herself was shocked when a wedding icon in full Kyoto and a silver-work Artsibashev these clever I appreciate ... 1000 kroons, ie 100! euro. I do not mind - nothing to do, how well I do not speak their language, a Slavic accent, alas, be eradicated. She took the icon under my arm and made its findings - here more or foot.
This is not the only place allowed to diddle Russian. Do I have to tell you how to behave "Russian people for a rendezvous?
You know yourself. Here here and attitude. And how do you relate to Caucasians, Tajiks and other "chock"? And that they have felt? Something not heard that in Europe, so treated as the unloved Russian propaganda and buffoon Zadornov Americans. And, God forbid, to his ...
This is one aspect.
There is another. The human factor. Experts and quartermasters are inexperienced. They could fake pass, if skillfully done, and may err in the opposite strontium. Several years ago, it seems at the same Upssale was neodotsenen Rubens. I well remember the story. Old married couple from Goteborg many years wanted to get rid of the pictures hanging them in a villa under the stairs. A kind of allegory muddy. No auction did not take - have argued that it is a bad copy of Rubens. Finally, the estimate was taken and put crowns in 7000.
During the bidding price of the lot jumped to several million - competed in the price of two British antiquary, to distinguish in this scribble unfinished work of Rubens. My grandmother with my grandfather, sitting in the hall, just blow was not enough for happiness.
To permanently, as the poet said Svetlov, "close the topic, let me remind more about original Swedish market antiquities. In this country the third century in a row no wars, no shocks or revolutions.
Art objects, have been gathered here from around the world for decades and even centuries are carefully stored and handed down. The terms of people, collecting and appreciating art is actually quite small, but for the novice there are dozens of the most varied and readily available courses on antiques, icons, Chinese porcelain, silver and so on.
Those who want to acquire knowledge, they receive. Therefore, the client is local to the best educated - at all "bullshit" does not will throw. So it turns out that Russian uneducated or inexperienced buyers purchase at auctions is that under the guise of originals there passed the other Russian. As my grandmother, "asked a red-haired black than you dyed beard" ...
And the last. Citizens Be mutually polite! Let us not become personal, it's bad form.
P.S. A link to the newspaper "Pravda" for me personally, the same as a link to the newspaper lemon. But perhaps I am greatly mistaken ...
