Dialog Masters and Art Consulting

[мистер-у]

I propose to summarize the story started on the Art Consulting, its guarantees of compensation for the "erroneous" expertise, etc. Having the experience of collecting for 15 years, only 19 in Russian painting. I loudly declare that all the experts are wrong, regardless of rank.

Each expert, even the most eminent is entitled to a mistake, if it happened unintentionally. Remember the period from 1992 to 2000 During this period, studied by experts, studied, and collectors. Errors were allowed a lot. After rethinking this period and good faith of experts (do without names), I not bring myself to say nasty in their direction. Yes, I brought work to receive an opinion hung on the wall and "kayfoval. Through time, the euphoria disappeared, much of the work turned out to be counterfeit at the time. In particular, Levitan, Vasil'ev, Yu Clover senior. I repeat that pattern I no "vtyuhival" I myself find them. Sorry, but I have nobody to have pritenzii and that's why! Magazine "Antique Review» № 1 for 2005, page 78 "... resume the bidding at the proper level with the help of experienced professionals in Petrograd - Alexander Benois, P. Neradovsky, V. Shchavinskaya, S. Yaremich. Extremely interesting they made records that are most relevant to our topic - expert advice, preparation of catalogs, correspondence with the commissioner, etc. Some of these documents (1919 - 1920 gg.). Yaremich commissioner Vedernikov. On examination it turned out that the number of items submitted by the following items removed from auction sales, as clearly do not meet the title, according to the catalog number 74. Levitan "Forgotten Gates», № 103 Vasiliev Ochakov », № 148 Zichy's Confessions», № 179 Salvo. Rosa "Landscape". All the aforesaid objects are not even remotely related to the name with which they identified. The Commission is extremely inappropriate to transfer the catalog names of specially invited experts. Committee OPKh bears full responsibility for the unit auctions, and the only body that certifies the authenticity of things delivered to the auction in the halls OPKh is an expert commission, elected from among their fellow members the Committee of the Company. V. Szczawiński - commissioner Aleksandrov. It does not match the artists to withdraw from the auction number 302 Diaz, № 321 Zhuravlev, № 322 Bogolyubov Sea view », № 298 Dangauer Peter 1 on his deathbed», № 366 Khrutsky, № № 254 and 306 - under the name and Inappropriate signed K. Bryullov, № 342 - the same Repin, № 297 - copy of a Rembrandt self-portrait, № 318 - "Wassailers Solomatkin, № 126 - signed Borovikovsky, № 326 - signed Hrutskits, № 246 - signed by Serov, № 50 "Waterfall in Tivoli - noted in the catalog" copy », № 74 - remove signature attributed Venetsianov and write" old Russian school », № 322 - removed from the frame label" Zaryanko "and in the catalog mentioned" an unknown Russian artist. Extremely laconic observations AP Neradovsky Trade Directory of 1919 it marks the October 4 number 357 "Horses" sketch. cop. Kovalevsky - forgery, № 357 "Winter Landscape" fast ice. Levitan - not Levitan. Number 191 Villevalde "Portrait" (m) - forged signature, № 179 Bruni - unknown. artist. In the same style preferred to be relevant papers relating to the auction material, and A Benoit. Such stringent measures to prevent "falshakov" to bid OPKh, of course, is not fully resolved the question of expelling them from the St. Petersburg traffic. These things are implemented in the field easier - all in the same markets, in shops, inexpensive shops. Walker sold out, they finally, and with countless NEP sales. That such an article. Interesting truth. So why blame the experts who were wrong in good faith with us?? Many of my friends "coward" re-examine the work of Bogoliubov, Lagorio, Levitan, etc. And you want to find the courage to once and for all get rid of illusions. Rubbish place in a landfill. The money is of course no Art Consulting will not return, he's good faith mistaken for nedoumiyu. I am sure that no institution with the expertise of world renown and high insurance does not pay anyone anything - this is a bluff. Plead with you all my life and spend on lawyers, not one hundred thousand green. By forumchan note: my good friend Dmitry Severyukhin published a very insightful book "Old art Petersburg. This book describes the auctions end the first half of the 19. No work is exhibited without expert opinion. Forged at that time, in particular Karl Briullov.
