Well, let's hope that more sensible and will answer qwerty, but first:
First of all, it seems that the graphics market in Russia still enjoys much less successful than the painting, with one slightly odd exception - collectors simply chasing books as manuscripts (eg Exeter) and short-run 1910-20-ies.
The most valuable schedule, and not just graphics, Goncharova - Russia is its period, well, or say, 20-ies. The work of these are relatively well known (among other things, 3 ago, at the opening of the gallery Tatintsian Marina Loshak arranged an excellent exhibition of graphics. I do not know whether the published directory, but if there was, it otlichnymy tool for investors), but there are a lot of fakes.
Much less likely that someone would forge a theatrical sketches 30-40-ies., However, and make them harder, or at least, it would take much longer.
On the other hand, I asked you, where there is a gallery, because in my opinion, buy Goncharova in France is safer than in Germany, where rampant forger (or poddelschiki? Do not know what they are called) - in particular, there are two such brother - Russian Germans, they hold a gallery in which nothing can buy.
I must say that in France until relatively recently, the graphic work Goncharova appeared regularly at auctions in Drouot - it is possible that your gallery owner bought them there.
qwerty, now your turn!
