The collection of front-line drawings

[kornilyev]

Help evaluate the collection of front-line drawings of the artist Vasily Nikolayev. 67 drawings (watercolor, pencil) made at the Leningrad and Volkhov fronts in the period from March 1941 to December 1942
The figures include the date and a brief explanation to portraits of people pictured. The new government portal http://www.podvignaroda.mil.ru, where you can find scans of orders and awards sheet, I have found 2 people with my drawings.
Sorry about the artist Nikolaev VA (1906-1943) until no more or less specific information there. In addition he occasionally worked in the "Fighting Pencil" was killed by shrapnel in the besieged Leningrad. http://www.redavantgarde.com/ru/shop/goods-1969.html
His name is on the plaque of St. Petersburg Union of Artists, devoted to artists who died during the war.
The collection of pictures is a pencil sketch for a portrait Dzhambul Dzhabayev and page from the book where the portrait has been published. (It is interesting that the order of one sketch, but in book two <!--~ a ~-->).
Now I work with the State Archives of History and Literature, but in the personal affairs of Union of Artists are no records of Nikolaev VA no. One hope to see catalog of graduates of the Academy of Arts. Repin.
How much can it cost this collection, in which an auction can be with her appeal to whom. Will the price if an exhibition of these drawings. Keep such material on the shelf not make much sense, except to 100letiyu victory <!--~ a ~-->.
((One of the museum offered $ 10000.))
