Spring auction VLADEY brought more than €560 thousand

[Кирилл Сызранский]

On the evening of June 2, 2015 at Winzavod in Moscow held spring auction auction house VLADEY, which was presented to 100 lots. Two works — "Firing missiles" Timur Novikov "In memory of" Seeds Faibisovich — had an estimate of more than €50 thousand, but only one of them has found a buyer: canvas Seeds Faibisovich went for €130 thousand, while the classic textile panels Timur Novikov (estimate: €50-70 thousand) remained unsold.

Lots, gone with the excess of the estimate, this time was a little. Among them may be mentioned the picturesque work of Vladislav Mamyshev-Monroe Deisis (estimate €20-25 thousand sold for €27 thousand), 1965 figure of Ilya Kabakov (estimate €8-10 thousand sold for €14 thousand), painting Edward Steinberg (estimate €15-20 thousand sold for €26 thousand), Vladimir Nemukhin (estimate: €4-6 thousand sold for €27 thousand), Konstantin Zvezdochetov (estimate: €5-7K sold for €13 thousand), Rostislav Lebedev (estimate: €5-7K sold for €10 thousand), Ivan Sotnikov (estimate €2-3 thousand sold for €4.2 thousand) and Vladimir Dubossarsky (estimate €6-8 thousand sold for €14 thousand), graphics Dmitri Prigov (estimate €3-4 thousand sold for €7 thousand) and Sergey Salavina (estimate €1.5–2 million sold for €5.5 million), the collective assemblage of Timur Novikov, Oleg Kotelnikov and Andrei Medvedev (estimate €6-8 thousand sold for €13 thousand).

The main surprise of the auction was active fighting for the work of street artist Timothy's Sake (or rather, a picture of his work "I would hug you, but I just text", executed on steel), a preliminary assessment which was only €1-1. 5 thousand as a result of fierce fighting, the work was sold for €16 thousand, which exceeded the estimate by more than ten times.

Remained unsold works of Ivan Chuikov, Vitaly Komar and Alexander Melamid, Aidan Salakhova, Sergei Shutov, Oscar Rabin, Oleg Dou, Oleg Kulik, Maria Shubina, akhmetgalieva, Andrew's perspective exhibition and the leaders of the two previous trading VLADEY Oleg Tselkov and Georgy Guryanov.
