[ранжер]

While we're on the Web site of attachment to art, let's talk about the investment prospects of papers by V. Titov
The first sale at public auction, fixed related publications, held in 1995 in Paris. It was a picture of the number 5 from another topic of Titov "Happy New Year! ", Oil on canvas, 100Х130. Lot was sold for 16,700 francs, taking into account the 11%commission, the buyer, it had cost 18,537 francs. In the U.S. it was around 3700 $.

To feel the purchasing power of that amount will give a few prices at the time. Baguette cost 3 francs, the minimum wage was slightly less than 5000 francs for 270,000 francs could buy добротный three-story house on the Normandy coast of France, a place in the cemetery of Pere-Lachaise costing 20,000 francs.

Thus, the output of an unknown artist on the open market can be considered quite successful, considering also the fact that at that time more than 65%of lots of Russian origin to the French auction were bought at prices around 5000 francs.

At the same auction "Still Life with sausage", 1993, oil on canvas, 54H73, O. Rabin, sold for 20,000 francs., A triptych D. Plavinkogo "letters" sm.teh., 234H47 - for 21000 francs.

Since then, and have passed more than 14 years, Titov's work has appeared on the public sale is not too often. According to artnet.com only 17 times. Scatter in the sizes and prices high. From $ 14400 for "Self-portrait on the streets", 1988, 163H117, in April 2007 up to 3000 euros per canvas 1987 .. 36H36 in November 2007. Many times his stuff is not sold, at least at the auctions themselves, do not know what happened after. You can talk about that artist does not yet have stable prices.

However, the life history of gallery of his works are not so sad. Successful and mutually beneficial cooperation with galleries and artist's "Studio Castel", "Cinema", "Studio number 2" and others, showed a commercial demand for its products.
Gallery Studio Castel bought all the paintings on each of its exhibitions. Gradually formed some margin. However, when in 2003 due to illness of his wife and the owner of the gallery moved to the south, the gallery was closed, it appeared that all the paintings sold. Artist gallery owners made an order for further trade now without a picture on the existing customer base.

The commercial result of the latest exhibition at Winzavod were satisfied as a gallery owner and artist.

Recall that more than two hundred Russian artists living and working currently in France, less than 10%of them live with the results of their labor. Artist V. Titov among the latter.

In general, the works of Vladimir Titov circulating in the market and a relatively long time, but clearly delineated prices, consistent with his artistic talent and importance to modern Russian fine art, do not yet have. We can say it is undervalued.

In what some artistic self-names, comparable to the level of significance and picturesque talent already on the market, stable prices could be put Vladimir Titov? Have nothing much. Oleg Tselkov, Mikhail Roginsky, perhaps, Lydia Masterkova and Yuri Cooper. Of these, only Tselkov, yes L. Masterkova have more or less adequate price, nor Roginskaya nor Yu Cooper not appreciated fully. Unfortunately, this is a sad reality of Russian art market is not yet able to distinguish between identity and power of the brightest talent from the secondary mediocrity.

The price range conditional paintings O. Tsalkova can be identified in the 100-150 thousand euros, L. Masterkova - 50-100 thousand, Roginskaya - 15-25 thousand, Y. Cooper - 10-15 thousand As they get older Russian market, the acquisition of its participants relevant knowledge, artistic taste and flair, the prices of the last two will be closer to the first. Return the same rush and the cost of works of V. Titov.

It should also be taken into account that the total number of paintings by this artist is relatively small. He is a very responsible attitude towards the quality of its products, failed destroys things, sometimes, even those that lose one's attraction, which can buy from the owners.

Impact factor of pricing can be illustrated by A. Lansky and Polyakov. Two of the artist about the same talent and the contribution they make to the world and French art, but Polyakova much less work (maybe once every two) and, accordingly, the prices of its products above.

Speaking about the undervaluation of some authors, it should be noted, and the fact that quite a number of names greatly overestimated. For example, V. Nemukhin, E. N. Elskaya Rukhin or not made in the world and Russian art is nothing that could justify the current prices of their work. The price vector of such artists in the light of the above reasons must turn 180 degrees, and the prices themselves take their rightful place.

All those concerns, consider this as a signal and a guide to action. Parted, yet perhaps no great loss from unimportant, mediocre, imaginary, inflated ball-names.

Get a real art artist original, creative, strong, nationally-significant, among them the painter Vladimir Titov!
