Unfortunately, it is somewhat limited in time, but will try to briefly explain their position. The fact that I personally very idea of attempts to systematize the art market in this way seems somewhat questionable. A simple example with the same Kabakov, which I referred in previous posts. In terms of trends in Russian contemporary art market of last year's sale, of course, is very important. However, according to Admin, it was a single release, which has not had a significant impact on the growth index of the high volume of sales at lower prices. " The question arises, if the index is more important selling hundreds of items on slaboznachimyh tertiary auctions, how correct his testimony?
Furthermore. It is clear that in respect of domestic art each year will mark two significant spike - in late November and the first half of June, is directly related to the Russian Fashion Week, during which time, and there are basic and significant sales. But at the same time, it is difficult to say that these super-prices in a meaningful way affect vneauktsionnoe pricing.
In addition, prices at auctions are not always the result of real market trends, and quite often the result of conflicting interests and ambitions of specific customers. It means that the index will reflect precisely these trends, but not really the situation in the market.
