One of the pressing issues of contemporary art market: Can the Market accompany talent? How long will demand the names of untwisted by curators, gallerists, cultural officials and sponsors? Art History shows many examples, and complete neglect of the once popular artists, and vice versa, the opposite stories - an unprecedented interest in the work of masters, who during his life not been able to make a name for himself just because he does not come within the scope of a major benefactor.

keenly aware conjuncture of art-market, and has enormous capacity for work the artist has managed to make a name for himself and become a successful brand, actively participating in the exhibition of life at home and abroad. In Russia it is the annual academic exhibitions, the exhibition "St. Petersburg Society of Artists and the Society of exhibitions of works of art." Similar events have been most attractive to the public, and works exposed to them, according to reviews of modern media, "found a big sale." In 1902, the first solo exhibition was held Krachkovskogo, "award-visit of Their Imperial Majesties and the Imperial and August personages. Nicholas II bought several works by the master, then decorating the collection of the Museum of Emperor Alexander III. The success of this exhibition brought Krachkovskogo great fame, which resulted in the highest number of orders and interest in his work by Russian and European collectors. Subsequent independent exhibitions Krachkovskogo he spent in Paris (1908) and Nice (1908, 1909), were highly praised French art critics and rave reviews in the press. And one of the works on display at the Paris Gallery Georges Petit, was acquired by the Minister of Fine Arts Museum for the government of France.
This success story, a brilliant career and the general popularity of the artist in no small measure contributed to his professional qualities, of course, in conjunction with the talent landscape. Nature's landscapes Krachkovskogo not the embodiment of strong human emotions and dramatic experiences, but rest for the eyes and soul, whether it is bright colorful kinds of Crimea and royal residences, or intimate, with a light touch of melancholy landscapes, in which the understated beauty of Russian nature becomes a moral value, as for example, "Silence" (1890), is a salon-academic version of the lyric "the mood of the landscape. It is such work have brought the artist great popularity during his lifetime and do not leave indifferent the modern viewer. After all, any work, addressed to the universal eternal values, carrying the positive charge, can withstand the test of time, will always be in demand and will occupy a special place in the artistic culture.
