Good article Mikhail Kamensky - he very clearly described the situation on the market of Russian art.
[QUOTE][FONT="Georgia"]Russian elite with huge capitals, spread, and for a long time, since the 1990s, has made considerable efforts to integrate themselves into the local elite. But is it possible to consider the collection of Russian art, hung on the walls of "foreign property", as an effective instrument of socialization? I don't think. What local say the names of Alexei Savrasov, Boris Kustodiev, Konstantin Korovin, Valentin Serov and even? Such brands there are unknown and incomprehensible, they are not written in books, not written in textbooks, not in museums. The conclusion is clear: you have to buy those pieces of art, with which to build a dialogue with neighbors by expensive quarter. If the Russians brands no reaction, old masters, Impressionists, modernists, or, of course, heroes of the contemporary understanding will easily be found. Because of this, the Russian market is gradually losing its loyal customers that live outside Rossii@
