At the press conference was made business manager Martin Boehm (Martin Böhm). He spoke about changes to the art market, an increasing number of clients from Russia, which, in fact, was the occasion for the organization of the Moscow pre-auction display. He also noted the "selectivity" of our compatriots.
"Russian clients buy selectively, buy certain things only what they know. They can not buy everything. And in this election are willing to pay any money. It's impressive. If a work of art they like, then buy regardless of whether how much it costs ".
The conference also was questioned about the impact of financial crisis on the art market. Martin Boehm said that it is the most frequently asked question lately.
"We are in a banking crisis, and I do not think that the art market will remain unaffected. Art Market multilateral if the crisis and touch, then the question - which side. For example, the old master sold steadily, but the more modern art than closer to our days, the greater the instability can be observed ".
