Art auctions - a measure of artistic talent?

[Кирилл Сызранский]

Tonight on Channel Culture was another talk show Shvydkova "Cultural Revolution" with the theme of Art Auctions - a measure of artistic talent?

For lighting so interesting (to our forum, in particular), subjects were chosen two party-opponent, two well-known art: on the podium on the left sat Mikhail Kamensky, and right - Dmitry Butkevich.
"Art auctions are there objective criteria for artistic talent?" - That's a question of standing in front of the two opponents.
It was curious, as CEO of the Russian representation of the auction house Sotheby's posted - no, and D. Butkevich, suppressing a smile, his vosproshal: "So what? I understand that there must be others. But what? ".
Seemed to me the whole situation is somewhat comical: the position of Kamensky, the auctioneer was, as I understand it, to convince the public that auctions are the only economic instrument in the promotion of an agent is held to the author, but not the measure of his talent.
A Butkevich reasonably interested in it that "real" measure of artistic talent.
Both, however, agreed that the presence of the artist in the museum an important measure of his talent.

Of course, it was mentioned frequently discussed on the forum "scheme promotion" of the artist: Exhibition - Gallery - Western Show - Western gallery - a museum yes plus Kamensky recalled accept - them. Kandinsky and Innovation, and then to the auction block. It is important to note a thesis Kamensky, then it seems to me, put it is as representative of Sotheby's: "If the artist's works are present in the museum, and the auction of his belongings may be taken".
Butkevich, by the way, so a few words deftly painted a picture of our domestic art market, such as this one I especially remember the time, he was so bright it is shown that all, I think the audience was clearly a great deal.
And the most interesting, of course, was still that everything in the studio know each other a hundred years - and headliners and guests in the studio, as at the end of transmission (also with a smile) concluded Shvydkoi, suggesting that the range of art and how close would have been their own, others will not let go. All there is, of course, smiled. I guess it is true that the most acute, as always purified, the air is not horrible.
Later on, I think this record talk shows poyavisyaea site channel, you will have another look. Curious was the conversation and fun.
