Gelman closes "Winery"

[Eriksson]

Gelman :

" The atmosphere in Russia does not have to make the art of collecting : the collector must understand that he does understand his business, and now collecting equal to extremist activities. Economy itself does not have to , to give birth to collectors. Richest people today in Russia - the officials who do not want to open their income and wealth show . This means that there is not a new class of collectors , and the old , first, left and buy art in London and Berlin galleries , and secondly , maybe now a glut of the market: the collection has been formed to buy and , in fact, nothing yet ".

Gelman about the decline of collectibles

Unfortunately could not find full -link does not open , but the main thesis about the decline of collectibles (in Russia ), with all due respect, disagree .
After collecting art is not only the purchase of works by Aivazovsky, Korovin and contemporary artists, at a price equal to them , and even обогнавших.Коллекционирование is a passion . Artists myriad count - choose to your taste , according to their knowledge and predstavleniyam.Dengi ? They are always in short supply , but this is not true collectors pregrada.Huzhe more. Cease its educational activities Gelman and his comrades , and " holy place " quietly and with a squeal fills mediocrity , or worse , hempen ignorance.

I liked this idea so Mr. Palazhenko :

Closing Marat Gelman Gallery , Aidan Salakhova and XL, which I note between the lines, are non-profit project and does not go with the " Winery " - certainly a sign of the deep crisis of the art market , because it reveals that it no longer believe the people who started it in Russia. But this is not news in the world in the gallery business is a process of transformation of the market: it is not to die , but is looking for new forms of existence . The fact that in this age of internet and " Facebook " when you can easily get in touch with the artist and his work order directly to the store banal function - the function of galleries as a platform , where they meet the artist and the buyer - no longer relevant.
