Round table "Russian Banks and their role in the art market"

[Vladimir]

Yesterday at the Institute of Art with the participation MKAAD round table " Russian Banks and their role in the art market ." A formal report , I'm afraid forces will not suffice . But concisely - that remember :

1. According to statistics from Art Market Research on a 5-year interval investment in art brought 15.8 %per annum , while the shares of S & P500 - 8,5%. Has become the fastest growing segment of Contemporary Art - 18.3 %per annum. For comparison, the old masters - 6.8%

2 . 10 %of the investment haynetov fall on alternative investments , of which 17%- in art .

3 . Recommendation Barclay's Capital - hold 10%in the art assets with investment horizon of 10 years.

4 . The buying activity collectors affects weather - weather permitting days of auction results are better.

5 . Peak procurement corporate collection bank Unicredit - 25 thousand euros per item .

6. Armenian cycle Drevin Unicredit once bought for 10 thousand dollars

7. In the office of the director of the bank Unicredit Drevin hang 2 large , 2 figures and Falk Osmyorkin 1918.

8. The meeting UniCredit now about 200 works . Priority in the purchase - to works on paper 1950-1960 -ies. Peer - century authors .

9. Of 32 million millionaires only 600,000 are collectors. That is less than 2%. In Russia, I think , and all of a percent. We felt like empirically. But generally , it's a shock - digit. Still sounded figures that collectors in Russia amount approximately equal to the number of collectors in Belgium and the Netherlands. Here in this little hard to believe .

10 . Ana Marichevich of Maricevic Fine Art ( by the way, lives in Belgium ) said , in my opinion , the key phrase that external factors and profitability - it's all important , but the risk of mistakes (buying the "wrong" thing) in a private collection , with more than outweighs any external risks . In other words, as I understand it , you need to pay maximum attention to authenticate and not on charts of price indices . What is hard to disagree .

11. Michael Efremovich Perchenko strongly not favor auctions ( poorly understood and sell things wrong to attribute ) . And yet, it turns out, can not stand " degenerate art " (especially "The Scream" by Munch ) .
