Here is another interesting information: The most expensive - and unique - lot was a collection of James Peremana, which included works by members of the Odessa Society of Independent Artists ", which existed from 1917 to 1919. Pereman was the head of the Odessa Radical Socialist Party, one of the activists of the Jewish self-defense, the Haganah and the owner of the bookshop "Culture", a gathering poets and artists. In 1919 Pereman brought more than 200 works of Soviet Ukraine to Palestine and dreamed to open a museum, but this dream did come true. The collection disappeared from sight until 1960, when it was exhibited at a large exhibition in Tel Aviv shortly after the death Peremana. Lot sold at Sotheby's, includes works by artists whose names are known only to a narrow circle of specialists: Michael Gershenfeld, Theophilus Frayerman, Sigismund Olesevich and others. Despite this, the collection went under the hammer for almost two million dollars.

Pereman in life refused to break his collection, and the auction house Sotheby's, too, decided to sell her one lot, comprising 86 works. Collection was acquired by the Fund Ukrainian avant-garde, and, thus, these works are returned to Ukraine. Representative of the Fund, who asked not to give his name, told Sotheby's that the collection will be preserved as a whole. "We plan to show it in Ukraine, Israel, Europe, and then everywhere - he said. - Collection Peremana - is a Ukrainian national treasure and we want that to these extraordinary paintings he saw the whole world. We hope that now art lovers recognize these "Odessa Parisians" as the true giants, they are in fact ».

The struggle for the collection unfolded between the Fund, the representative of that bets on the phone, and another buyer, who was in the hall. The last was an art dealer who introduced Anatolia, but declined to give the correspondent of Voice of America his name. "This is a rare, amazing works, - he explained his interest in the collection. - Indeed, these artists are little known. But while Odessa was, if anything, Ukrainian or Russian Paris. What do these artists, was the most avant-garde art in Russia at that time ».

... I enclose a summary of the expert conclusion.

Very interesting reading expertise and know "basis.
Here the artist's work, though oil on canvas, http://www.artnet.com/Artists/LotDet...832A6D05A5495D
It remains a mystery - with what an expert could compare "only, to date, has come down to us water."
Even if you do not take into account the mismatch of signatures - watercolor is so weak that it is shameful to talk about the artist MK Gershenfelde.

[Krylov]

So I do not know whether you mean something opinion OM Barkovsky, whose article "The Society of Independent Artists in Odessa," published in the book "Odessa Parisian" art criticism and the conclusion of examination, this deputy director for scientific work OHM VA Abramov, whose name is contained in the Bibliography of the same book "Odessa Parisians."
