Whatever happened to Russia Antique Salon is held again and again, this time in the 28 th time. And let the prospects of Russia's art market and the building of the Central House of the artist vague, that the regular salon comes with the immutability of the regular season, is encouraging.

The number of galleries are still around 200, the composition of their changes significantly, especially in the central zone, which as usual took the most important and successful. But if changes in the list of participants and their location on two floors of the CHA noticeable only meticulous habitues, the emergence of new themes, trends and themes of collecting and see a simple spectator. Glyptics, vintage fabrics, designer jewelry of the twentieth century appear on the antique salon for the first time.

And it's not all - this year a special project devoted to interior style and subjects of the 1960's. In 2010, the furnishings and works of art created in the 1960's, the age of 50 years, that is, Russia's laws they become antiques. Has Russia's Khrushchev, humpback "The Cossacks" and armchairs and lamps 1960's major events design remains an issue, but the fact that all these things are easily recognizable, and while obviously associated with the period of non-conformism in art, no doubt. The curator of the project will Kruchinina Victoria.

Many galleries will present their stands on the thematic exposition. Probably one of the most spectacular will be the draft Galeev gallery dedicated to Vera Ermolayeva - a legendary figure of the Russian avant-garde.

Given such a rich biography of the artist, the rarity of her work and the ability Galeev gallery (which at the last salon presents a very impressive exhibition), we can expect something extraordinary.

Suddenly, going to speak Gallery Russian Avant-Garde 1910-1930 period: its center stand would be "a portrait of a peasant serf Alexei Venetsianov second quarter of the XIX century, leading his neighbor's provenance from the collection of the artist's estate in the Tver province, horseman Loginova.
