According to Bloomberg, to order them by the largest private yacht interior designer Terence Disdeyl. Art dealer Joseph Clark, in particular ARRANGEMENTS, said that Eclipse will decorate the sculptor Simon Allen and pictures of Trevor Bell.
Eclipse - one of four owned by Abramovich yachts. It was built at the Hamburg shipyard Blohm + Voss and is considered the largest private yacht in the world, Noah. By some estimates, the cost of the vessel is about 1.2 billion dollars yacht is equipped with special antipaparatstsi system. Eclipse design worked Disdeyl Terence, who also worked on the interiors of the other yacht Abramovich - Pelorus.
Recall that two years ago, Roman Abramovich has made several large purchases at the art market. Including acquired at the auctions of auction house Christie's painting by Lucian Freud "Sleeping sotsrabotnitsa" for 17.3 million pounds (the purchase is made from the artist's most expensive living classics). A Sotheby's auction on Abramovich in the same year bought the "Triptych 1976" work of Francis Bacon, the deal amounted to a record 86.28 million dollars a special charm to both purchase includes the fact that Bacon and Freud were friends - British expressionist seriously affected the work of the grandson Sigmund Freud's famous and contributed to the development of Lucien Freud's painting talent. It is noteworthy that the artists during his many years of friendship painted portraits of each other. But unlike Bacon, who often wrote of Freud, author of "The Sleeping sotsrabotnitsy" has created only two portraits of his friend.
While Terence Disdeyl gives no explanation for acquired for yacht Eclipse works. We know only that their total value is over 300 thousand dollars in those purchases appear on the sculpture of Simon Allen, the famous monumental gilded reliefs (they cost between 5 thousand to 18 thousand dollars), as well as paintings abstract artist Trevor Bell ( acquisition was worth about 25 thousand dollars). These artists are not among the more popular NAI, rather they can be called affordable. Nevertheless, the fact of purchase of works by Roman Abramovich can significantly increase their weight on the art market.

Selection of works of gold and silver jewelry is quite understandable for a luxury yacht , but abstractions confess puzzled.
