The uniqueness of the number of notes in the collection of curiosities, worthy exhibitions and comparable with museum specimens (museum level, as they say now). Some people believe that there should be a few units, while others - 1-2%of the subjects. Numismatists before take pride in the collection of John rublevikov Antonovich, Peter III, «Gangut" of the ruble, etc. For the philatelist's dream was to have the brand Chelyuskin series with a portrait of Levanevskogo and imprint "Flight Moscow-San Francisco." For collectors of Soviet coins rarities were considered two a penny in 1927 (nine specimens have been known coins), 50 kopecks and 1 ruble in 1953, proof coins in 1958, Tuva, Arktikuglya (coins to Svalbard). Collectors have always hunted for painting canvases Shishkin, Repin, Levitan and Ivan Aivazovsky.
COLLECTORS
How to become a collector? Looking for: passion, money, space and time. The need for money is not necessary to explain, but it was not always enough. In the early 1960s. in the community of numismatists Peter's ruble was worth 8-10 rubles, thaler 3-5 rubles, but sometimes interesting things the owner could not be persuaded to sell. Followed by the question: "What I put in my collection?" We needed more exchange fund.
With a modest salary could raise a decent collection. The question was where to put it? In terms of widespread communal could collect only small-sized items: stamps, coins, vouchers, awards, books in the volume of the enclosure. Fashionable now painting could collect only one who was "a lot of walls." For storing their acquisitions with F. Vishnevsky was half of a house in Moscow and a dacha in Ilyinka. There were no problems with space for their wealth in the book by Alexei Tolstoy and Damian Poor.
At the same time, with 48 - and then a 42-hour workweek decent collection can be collected only for retirement, when it comes to "throw stones". Successful collectors - the liberal professions, or those who have a collection of theme coincided with professional occupations (eg, Silberstein). They had a free day (Wisniewski was registered in the State Pushkin Museum) and freedom of movement throughout the country.
Secondary signs of a collector - the accumulated years of expertise in a narrow range of topics and self-sufficiency in the acquisition of objects (he found himself bought himself put it in the collection). Scholars are rare among collectors for the rest of them were "off-topic, not my topic." In general, in the XX century it was almost a profession, and almost insane. The collector was the enemy of family income and home comfort. There were collectors of which could not stand cluttering things went his wife. Now it is a fading breed. Replaced with a more pragmatic formation - gatherers.
GATHERER
They do not have a specific topic, is the direction of the gathering - Russian painting, Western European painting, edged weapons, icons, etc. Things are expensive, fancy, liquid ... In the XX century collectors of the commercial component was weakly expressed enthusiasm. On the topic of representation gatherers cared little. Subjects must demonstrate wealth, high position, the election of the holder or a guarantee of financial turmoil. Consult a professional collector of art, objects in the main supply dealers. Therefore, in the collection of rarities - the order. With money and a room no problem. It is probably now the most rational form of collecting.
Collectors have always been. For example, for the Princess Mary Tenisheva sales agents everywhere looking for icons, old jewelry, household items, old portraits and the like, famous artists gave her directions, described the collection, built to house collections of private residences. In the mid-1950s. the exhibitions of private collections in the Central House of Arts competed picturesque masterpieces L. Ruslanova singer, dancer E. Geltzer, D. Zerkalova actress. Nobody in the media do not dare call them collectors. Due to poor knowledge of conditions antique market gatherers often overpay for spectacular things. For example, if the sale of Nureyev's collection could not bail out the money invested, while Nureyev and the advice of Baron Rothschild in buying things. Antique shamelessly stripped Rudick (his name baletomanki Kirov Ballet).
AMATEUR
This is a time and stage of development, and stable community. After the amateur stage and are collectors and gatherers. Young people at this stage, most collections are thrown, and the antique market, appear unprofessional collection. If you begin to gather at a mature age, the fascination remains forever. In amateur collections designated theme, but neither masterpieces nor representative.
Before the war in an artistic environment appeared lovers decorate their apartments with antique furniture. According to M. Valente, Vsevolod Meyerhold apartment was furnished with mahogany 1840-1850 gg. Art critic Wolf tells us that Mary and Babanova was remarkably matched mahogany furniture. The most popular Pavlovian furniture Karelian birch. It was the furniture for a lifetime. That which once was the exception, in our day suddenly became a powerful current.
There was a large and stable community of fans draw in housing styles, dozens of magazines imposed by furniture manufacturers. Some old rubbish clog apartment, imagining that they live somewhere in the early XX century, while others get the furniture in the style suggested by: Nouveau (Art Nouveau, Jugendstil, Secession) etnostili. Recently imposed style of Art Deco, the things which we do not, except in detail, taken from Germany in 1945, the fashion is the style, which will get to purchase?
OWNERS
This refers only to those who go to antique-market as sellers. Collectibles are the property of their different ways. The most common and natural way - the aging of items in the home. What was called "a collection of Chaliapin," was his furnishings Paris mansion, distributed among his numerous progeny. Until recently, remained flat in Moscow, where the situation remained unchanged and a life one hundred years.
Family heritage is sold by famous artists with particular intensity. In recent years, the Moscow-antique market is almost sold out legacy artists Rudakova, Falk, Tischler, Fonvizin, Labasa, Mashkov. At the XV PAC had a lot of pictures Pchelina. It looks like things are sold out of its museum-apartment on the Boulevard Yauzskaya. Among the heirs of disputes arise, as was the case with legacy Shterenberg. Now suing the heirs Konchalovsky. Overstock items collectors are not so noticeable. Bookplate on spotted selling book of wealth choreographer Goleizovsky, Vakhitova etc. Most collectors during the life time to dispose of his goodness.
Among the owners of random collectibles include the owners and heirs of treasure, gained their "Unexpected Joy". For example, Saratov relatives Malevich. Another example of a random owner - Vladimir Baldin. "Baldin Collection" - is part of the collection of the Bremen Museum, which he traded among the soldiers in the castle, where she was taken away from American bombing.
CRANKS
In the community of collectors come across people who do not know why and what is collected. These include Gorky. He collected coins, Netsuke, etc., and then gave friends gathered. In public coin collectors in the 1970s. went a curious type. He acquired "all of the Leaning Tower ': postcards, photos, souvenirs, etc., claiming that he has his own project" rectification "bashni.Chudaki does not hurt, as well as the entire community of collectors.
Of course, after this article, the media will not change anything and collectors will "call" anybody, but, as the medieval philosopher: "If you want to understand the essence of things, you call them correctly."
