I think you will notice the change that this year we have made in our traditional compilation. For many years, our gallery is associated with the art of the Soviet period, mostly in its traditional forms. And this issue is we have a dominant, with an emphasis on first names. To attract the attention of "Portrait of a Woman" 1930s Yuri Pimenov, published in his lifetime catalog of the artist (estimate 600-800 thousand rubles), an Italian cityscape Fedor Bogorodsky, "brought" to them in 1929 from a trip to Capri to Maxim Gorky (300 -- 400 thousand rubles.) variant of the same name pictures from the State Tretyakov Gallery Village Widget "twice winner of the Stalin Prize of Academician Vasyl Yakovlev (500-700 thousand rubles.), a classic still-life President of the Academy of Arts USSR Nikolai Ponomarev (120-150 thousand rubles.) , recognizable Mozhajskij landscape Sergei Gerasimov (140-180 thousand rubles.). Decent work presented and other academics: Dmitry Nalbandian, Pavel Sokolov-Skalya, Boris Yakovlev, Nikolai Romadin, Vladimir Stozharau, though not become an academician, but associated with the "best" in the Soviet painting. The popular "flower" genre before big works of Nicholas Barchenkova (900 thousand - 1 mln.200 thousand rubles.) And Noah Gedenidze (300-400 thousand rubles.) Chamber - Alexei Liquorice (120-150 thousand rubles.). For the first time in our auction coming up, and certainly will not go unnoticed by two portraits (of his wife and daughters) of the famous St. Petersburg man Anatolia Treskin - paintings restorer at the Pavlovsk Palace and the Hermitage. Together with large finished landscapes Kuzma Nikolaeva - training of pre-revolutionary artist, Viktor Kiselev - the closest associate of Arcadia Plastova, with paintings on the themes of Russian history, Ivan Kovalenko, graphics Peter Belousova, and David Borovsky - all this, I think, makes a selection of Soviet painting one of the highest quality recently.

But this time we first introduced in the catalog section of porcelain and lacquer miniature of the Soviet period, have recently become increasingly popular. This author sculptors Paul Kozhina and Nicholas Atyunina, collection jar, painted in Verbilki in 1939, the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition (100-150 thousand rubles.) Boxes of Palekh and Kholui 1930s-1950s. This practice we are going to continue. So look forward to your suggestions for the next auction, distinguished collectors.

Lovers of great graphics awaits Sterling Works 1920s and 1930s known masters: Nicholas Stipa - "Naked" (120-150 thousand rubles.), Lev Bruni, Alexander Vedernikov, Nikolai Kupreyanova, Rostislav Barto, Euphrosyne Ermilova-Platov, Paul Pashkova.

Not been forgotten and the fans nonkomformistov: Sterling prepared for them from the works of Vladimir Yakovlev, Otari Kandaurova, Aron Buha.

But I think the biggest surprise in our collection will be of the most popular and expensive artists in the market of Russian art: Natalia Goncharova, Mikhail Larionov, Alexander Yakovlev. True, we tried not to withdraw from our usual price niche and chose pushuary Goncharova and Larionov (700-800 rubles.), And Alexander Yakovlev submitted student work, written in 20 years of age and one year donated by M. Tinyakova for his Zemstvo school, as evidenced by the inscription made by the author in the picture (900-1200tys.. rubles).
Sterling will complete this well-known names small landscapes Basil Polenova (750 900tys.rub.) Petrovicheva Peter, Nicholas Dubovsky, Eugene Capitals (all with the assessment of 180-220 thousand rubles.) And on the cover of the catalog genre scene "on the quay (Bretonki ) ", Vikentiya Trofimova, written, apparently, in 1912, during his last visit to France (600-800 rubles)..
As you can see, a collection of new auction bears the traces of a certain experiment. And already, the market itself - that is to say our customers - show us the path where to go next.
