Note, The Brook was sold too, for decent money.
Hammer price USD 600,000, it is not an auction of restitution.

The problem is that the auction "record" has nothing to do with our realities. Today's auction "sale" rather indicate the level of corruption auction houses, rather than the reality.

lazycat,

It is good that there are people who boldly and openly declare that "Korovin Pobol I understand many of today's experts on the artist."
It is good that the message of "large set of standard X-rays in the Grabar" they laugh.
It is good that they can see through the monitor authenticity "sketch" in size


All this is wonderful.
It is not clear to me only the relationship of such experts to other participants in the forum, not as talented, capable and knowledgeable.

Quite simply, Cyril! "Masters of sports of all kinds of sports" - is a serious side effect of the Internet. Boltanul nonsense with a serious air and no one to answer not drag - net boltologiya. And if you do not understand or did not see, it is better to keep silent.

Now it is all too often ... Since was not accepted (in Soviet times) to sign and now relatives and friends to sign the front side, because required by customers, and this is in some sense legitimate and even necessary. For example, the practice was to hang pictures in hotels and other public places, etc. Anyone coming up could read the artist's name. Bother with signs people do not want and can not, and it was then not easy to make a plate. As a signature is nothing sacred, it is not very convenient to display on the canvas, there is always artificial, even when the artist himself puts it, sometimes it is hard drawn, it does not scratch, which no one could repeat ... It is important to match, I know that expressing controversial opinions and do not in all cases, of course, so you can do. This observation may relate mostly artists of the Soviet era ... Especially because this is happening constantly.

A real-life examples can lead? Or so purely hypothetical?
