For me it is one level of the enterprise.

Cyril Syzran, the difference still exists between La Scala and Sotheby's and I can not agree that this is an enterprise level. Sotheby's auction house is the main objective is profit, and it was from the very beginning of its founding to the present day. At La Scala is a different story is not commercial, academic and even a museum there.

OK, is it possible to organize an exhibition by the promoter Vasya Pupkin in TG at Lavrushenskom or timing?

Yes, I can give you an example: as luck would have slipped out of my head the name of the Italian artist, who had an exhibition at the Russian Museum is not so long ago - it prints to the printer (which he is at home) my pictures (mostly still lifes) and Then they are painted and provides for his brilliant skills. In Italy, everyone knows about it and places it in the grave can not see and you will not hear about it. And in Russia, wrote about him, it's a new Caravaggio. The artist, this is certainly not Vasya Pupkin, some fame still is, but it's more like a plan Safronov.

About remembered the name - Luciano Ventrone.

Then there was the exhibition of Italian artists recently, either in the Tretyakov Gallery, or anywhere else - too lazy to look for - all names are also some quite unknown >

So the promoter - is an important figure >
