Is that true, or is it just seems to me?
T e for a more rapid increase in the cost necessary to create the market works?

You write it right, here's a look from the Russian art market, art, 2006, but still relevant and now ..
Well-known collector, Nikita D. Lobanov-Rostov: "The market for Russian art in Russia is concentrated in the hands of dealers and galleries. The minimum share of the market, about 5%, passes through the auction houses. Outside of Russia abroad, these proportions are mirrored. Auction houses control more than 70%of the antiques market, and this percentage is growing at the expense of dealers. About 50 years ago, dealers were the main buyers at the auctions. Auctions are a kind of "wholesale market" where antique dealers replenish their stocks. With heavy advertising auction houses lure collectors, thereby displacing dealers with their fees for selling products to the customer.

I do not see in Russia a promising market auction of antiques, for the Russian market is insignificant on a global scale, on both prices and quantity of works.

Plus 500 paintings sold to galleries and dealers, lead to the total in 2500 to sell the painting in the day. This amounts to almost an annual turnover of sales of paintings in Russia, where the market is painting still chaotic and random. It lacks the basic criteria of the art market - the concept of quality and attribution. No stable prices. This fact, in some sense, reflect the profile and current customers - it is less skilled and experienced collectors, and recently wealthy people, nouveaux riches, which are partly naively rely on a constant rise in prices for purchasing them. They are obviously completely take into account the cyclical nature of the art market and it looks like, so get rid of the "random" money in exchange for antiques and art, of course, seeing them as something worthy of investment.
Earn a painting not investors and collectors who have "eyes" and intuition. Art is not subject to the usual rubric as a matter of investment. In contrast, securities or precious metals, paintings - an industry where two pictures are never the same. And judgments about each of them is on the basis of knowledge, aesthetic criteria, the values of the artist in art development. So that the view of the picture completely subjective to the viewer. Investment as a professional or on the advice of a professional is usually based on specific facts. Judgments on the art market such judgments doctor - that is, judged on the basis of historical data plus instincts ... "
