7th Moscow International Salon of Fine Arts MWFAF-2013

[Vladimir]

Friday opened the 7th Moscow International Salon of Fine Arts MWFAF- 2013 . Prepare in time, everything is clear , without dressing pads and other previous complaints. The first sensation - became more design , decor and modern art. What specifically did not find much , so can not say for sure : whether in fact more or just more attention to himself pulls . Well, in the era of self bows and iron can beat the pants ( on the stand Orlinsky Richard)? Feels like they have become so familiar with which all photographed - a media symbol of informal salon. The second thing to note - many galleries rented booths for two, with two names on the sign . And the worst of it is gone . And in general the whole interior is interesting, different class of Antique Salon design for the better. May delay the new audience . In short, we advise to go necessarily . Gradually begin to spread , together with Konstantin our report with the prices.

Hirst presented itself the owner of the London gallery ( with offices in other cities) Magdalena Gabriel . Stand enjoyed increased attention . Many wanted to be photographed with dead butterflies and a huge tapestry Hirst made ​​in the form of his famous spin . Skulls were also. And the prices are as follows:

With Hearst very beating and neighboring works of artist Sonia Falcone (Sonia Falcone). In particular, it bubbles with essential oils and vats of colorful spices. Last - Atlas Empire - is an analogue of 55 in the Venice Biennale. It is a pity that the conspiracy and not photographed .

I waited for that Vladimir will continue to report and tell the world about how chic at the salon was presented Kocheyshvili . <! - ~ 12 ~ ->
But it seems that Vladimir had already switched to more important topics and subjects. So I tell about) )
London gallery gave me a chic stand in 96sq.m. right at the fountain in the center of the Forum , so that I showed it work Kocheyshvili and another couple of Moscow artists in my choice.
Boris Kocheyshvili Gennady Troshkov Utenkova and Elena looked at the salon is great. Our booth was in no way inferior to their neighbors ) )

Perhaps we should add that the proposal from London galeristki received me as soon as the picture Kocheyshvili sold at auction at Bonhams in the hall. She told me that long been eyeing the works Kocheyshvili and considered it a bright and outstanding master , but after the auction, decided that it is worth investing .
And that is why I gave the gallery booth .

Well and certainly all the interesting results of the cabin. I actively communicate with exhibitors , and therefore can not speak only for myself , but also about the overall situation in the Moscow Fine Art Fair. Sales is negligible , we can say that there is little, but expect new client initially . It is the same with us on the stand : one was a real buyer . On the opening day the young and handsome gentleman wanted to buy two large relief Kocheyshvili and pay by card . But with payment card at the show were technical difficulties , so we arranged a meeting with him after the salon is already in the studio. Others ( of which there were not a few , but not so much) just interested in prices , taking business cards and promised to return later.
But to analyze the market based on the results of salon I do not presume to let those involved professionals ) )

Tamara, it seemed to me at the opening ( or champagne hit in the head ), that 80 %of the public were sauntering young female model looks, which are also counting on new customers.

Kocheyshvili looked very good, especially the reliefs , congratulations!
About Elena Utenkova - Tikhonovoj I mentioned in my post about the Salon .
