first of all, you need to make yourself at least an approximate view of how much can cost your picture. It is not as difficult as it may seem. Here, the forum, there is a branch of useful addresses, you have to look in the database of the leading auction houses (Sotheby's, Christie's), as well as on sites like Artprice.fr (or. Com, do not remember). Look in the library or bookstore for books Lansky (year or two ago in the Pushkin Museum was his show, which was published catalog).

However, please note that when buying at auction the buyer pays a premium of about 20%, and the seller also reserves the auction of about 11-15%, all this should be deducted from the amount privedennogy (in all these databases do not indicate the price with a hammer, and the total amount paid for the work).

Look at the date of creation of sold works on their size, sravnmte with your - and you will not be afraid that you are deceived by an order.

Go and dustpan as advised Serge, in the end, you can not force anyone to sell the painting, if you do not satisfy the conditions.
I think that in Moscow there is a representation of Sotheby's, to him, too, must apply, in general, try to get as much information.

In Peter go to the GRM library, there you will find everything. In principle, you can apply to Sasha Borovsky, at home, he must know the price.

None of the owners of the work my husband put them up for auction in recent years, there can be no shred of evidence that the work belongs to them, did not prevent the auction houses to take this work safely and sell them.
