Russian week in London. Summer 2013

[qwerty]

Hello from London, where he began another week of Russian auctions. Yesterday , the day before yesterday were respectively receptions at Sotheby's and Christie's . What can I say ? Vodka and champagne were many (well , at least not fused together , as it was a couple of years ago ), but the quality of painting is not very much. Of the undoubted masterpieces can be identified by Bonhams Roerich ( probably the best I have seen in the last decade , however, people in the know say that the two main buyer of Roerich , one of them - Leonid Fedun , this year, just do not participate , so the price will not the expected 5 million and not more than 3) , and a portrait of Anna Akhmatova Annenkov at Sotheby's . FESHIN are very good at Sotheby's and Christie's , Bonhams Volkov , Japanese Burliuk at Sotheby's , well, Mashkov at Christies probably set a record .
Very much doubt cause all format Burliuks at Sotheby's, but pleases a masterpiece of contemporary artist Ivanov at Bonhams with a starting estimeytom to 60,000 pounds!
