The names look the same, at least even hedgehog known first names in Russian painting. Just you have a factor of Moscow, where the price of painting is not changed, if not increased. But outside of Moscow, another Russia and other prices, which are now lower. Yes, and even at times of peak prices for painting all tried to sell his paintings in Moscow, where they cost several times higher. So in the capital of the fall in prices probably is not worth waiting ...

Sergey, you are absolutely right in assessing the situation of today's market! In Moscow the situation is exactly the same, if not worse! Clients offer a maximum of 50%of the initial price on the script goes two ways: 1. If the seller does not agree, then the client goes into an infinite Duma ...: mad:
2. If the seller agrees to a week later, the client or says, "then would /could, but now too late ..." or "take" and goes into an infinite Duma ...: mad:
result - the last months - solid visyaki ... even at the prices in 2005

Your analysis makes me some skepticism on the following reasons:

• in October leading auction houses have announced that at the spring auctions of evaluation will be 20-30%lower - they attributed the high ratings fall session so that all arrangements have been made before the crisis - and that the policy of guaranteed prices sunk into oblivion.
• auction of contemporary art, to be held at Sotheby's in February, has already moved in June - if they could cancel them altogether for a few years, I think they would do it.
• in the above leading auction houses began seriously reducing staff.

I can still add:
* That in the summer, ie in 2-hoo auction sessions, 80%"sold" lots are still not paid, that is, you realize that they probably will not be paid, in the Nearest time for sure: (
