An hour before the official opening of 29 Antique Salon, we walked on Constantine Babulinym stands with three "quick question":
1. With the launch of the year? Feels a positive trend in the antiques business?
2. What are the two major works can be noted in the exposure of your picture in this room?
3. What now there are new trends in the behavior of buyers and where are shifting their tastes?
Other issues the participants decided not to torture, not up to them now. But up to the cabin to talk it would be useful - so it will meet once more before closing. And yet - opinions.

Anatoly Borovkov. Gallery Russian Avant-Garde 1910-1930 years »

1. For my portrait subjects (antique books, books Russian avant-garde - approx. Ed.) Situation was so. Years ago I had a buyer who purchased a book of Russian avant-garde. Then, in response to the crisis, he disappeared. And now again appeared and began to buy.
2. Of course, this Venetsianov - High-level museum. And Denisov - great job, he was a "blue rose", was a favorite artist Vrubel. It is known that Vrubel admired his work. And Samokhvalov. Our exposition, as you see, is devoted to women in art - images of women and the work of women artists.

Valery Aksenov. Gallery of Great Style

1. Has the business activity? Perhaps the changes since the beginning of the year no: no failures, no gifts.
2. Two major works - Adams and Brueghel. Six and seven-digit numbers.
3. Appeared galaxy of new buyers, which focuses on the purchase of interior painting. These are the new owners of money, which appeared after the crisis. Acquire not for investment purposes, and for the registration of premises.

Ildar Galeev. Galeev Gallery

2. First shown in public, this collection of works by Vera Ermolaeva. She was kept for 25 years in a foreign private collections and two months ago, was bought by us and brought. From Vera Ermolayeva left crumbs. When arrested, all her works were confiscated and destroyed. Some remained with the students - in particular Mary of Kazan. Heirs of Kazan, risking my life, saved the shot of the repressed artist. And many works were sold during the 70's and 80 years abroad. There is one major American private collection, which includes masterpieces Ermolayeva. In Chile suprematistskie things from Vitebsk, from UNOVIS. It is known as a leader UNOVIS. In the American collection is a lot of book design, illustrations. And the value of this collection is that it is mounted work. We have only one canvas. But the rest gouache on paper pozvolyabt suggest that these canvases were many. She developed a new plastic principles. That's gouache "red box" of the early 1930 - sketch for this work is in the Russian Museum. The collection is sold at random - from 40-60 thousand dollars for gouaches to 150 thousand dollars for a painting. The collection was brought from Europe. In principle, this is a sensation - the appearance of works Ermolayeva on the market in such quantities. She's not at auctions, it is not in "artpraysah", so it is difficult to set prices. If it were the work Sterligov, Christmas, Leporskii, it would cost them much higher. This is despite the fact that Eromolaeva was the leader of the picturesque plastic realism. In this group of students Malevich was number one. But this really her fate.
3. People have become legible. And two and three and five years ago, I predicted that we were waiting for a renaissance in the 30-ies, will be reviewed every price parametric. Because, if we take the German art of the 20-30-ies they are no match does not go with a 10-mi years. We simply had a different story. With steep collection honors chasing Knave of Diamonds and the entire suite is also chasing Knave of Diamonds. There is another trend. I know that the first collectors of the country already focused on 1930. Therefore, all now lomanutsya. People lack oschuschueniya novelty, want stroinm collections on other principles. Here look at these landscapes Ermolayeva - shows that things are a passionate person. And in art is always expensive prized passion. Not calm, not measured, not satisfied, but something with the rod.

And second, the emphasis of Paul Yakovlevicha Saltzman. He was a pupil Filonova. He lived a long life. Since the 1940's he lived and worked in Tashkent. In the late 1920's - early 30's he lived in Leningrad, where he met with Filonov. We have presented several drawings of the 1930's and postwar works. Prices - from 5 thousand dollars to 10 thousand dollars. Here is the sign pattern, similar to the plots Filonova worth 7 thousand dollars.
3. We have a feeling that most collectors have switched, returned to the undisputed classic, first names - Shishkin, Repin, Serov, Korovin. The things these authors do not lie around longer than two or three days.

2. Among the most striking blocks of our exposition - Theaters Goncharov - "Dancer with a tambourine," "Spanish Flu" in 1915, for Tairovskoe theater. "Spanish costume" Goncharova - this thing was made in 1919 for parizhkskoy Gallery Serpentine. Specially Goncharova and Larionov were there her best things they did for Diaghilev. For the opening of the exhibition were made albums. Very limited edition, but how many copies - It is not known. It was not a directory. Because in those days were tonekie catalogs and usually just listing the titles of works. This was the album - the folder with the attached sheets. And there, as he wrote himself Larionov, were embedded original schedule - work on yellow paper. These albums were given only the most important guests.
