Paul, you mean that "a well-known curator Miles, who early in the first half of the 90 oshivalsya in Moscow and cars bought Soviet art? As far as I know, that famous gallery owner, he - no more than a myth, and he himself had generated. You have Jim Dabakisa remember (this was an American wheeler-dealer, bought for Ray Johnson). Just at that time any foreigner seemed a millionaire, and $ 100 was a colossal sum of (the ever-growing, to the same).
But then a lot of people - from France, Italy, England and America are tons of paintings bought. At 5.10 dollars per sketch and 100-300 (maximum) for a decent picture of 40-60's. Clearly, we are not talking about, say, Nalbandian or Tkachev, but painting provincial, and many Moscow artists, it is at such prices and sold. And do not forget that for many Europeans, Americans, these rates were comparable to prices, well, I do not know ... on the same African masks and beads. And buy a lot of work as souvenirs from the "country that does not exist."
