Russian week in London - 2010

[qwerty]

Hello from London. Have looked Collection Sotheby's, Christie and Bonemsa, first impressions: on the whole better than the last two years, but still far from pre-crisis level. So masterpieces revealed only two (in my opinion, of course): Pokhitonov Christie and "African dance" Yakovleva at Sotheby's. Lots of good Benoit, good Tselkov and Rabin, but also a bit too controversial works.
Yesterday was the reception at Christie's, had gathered nemerenoe number of people, perhaps, maybe more than before the crisis. General consensus that, despite the average, the auctions, "tear" because people missed purchases.

Posted 3 hours 51 minutes
just got back (with difficulty) to receive a Sotheby's, the main beverage, which regaled at the reception was a cocktail of "Northern Lights" - vodka /champagne 50/50 with an absolute minimum of food. This I have not tried it since my student days. Secondary was drink vodka /rum, but this I did not dare to try. Generally, the sponsor of the reception was our "Beluga", so, apparently, and the program was appropriate.
