I wanted more detail and not just about collecting books Russian avant-garde.
The first article: "Sotheby's July 8, 2008: peer review of the upcoming auction"
http://artinvestment.ru/invest/analy...nuscripts.html was more interesting and meaningful.
Well, for this article many thanks, will wait for more.

Eugene, that article was devoted to specific lots of specific trades, and this general overview. I am sure that the following interesting book auction win the attention of our expert.

If we talk about the history of the topic, there is another directory, which can not fail to mention. He was released the New York booksellers Arthur Cohen and his wife, owners of the bookshop "Ex Libris Rare Books".
They were engaged in book and printed materials XX century and were thematic catalogs of Dada, Bauhaus, Surrealism and Futurism.
Their first extensive catalog of Russian books, constructivist and futurist ", was released in 1977, was later a few more, but smaller.
Catalog 1977 by half is devoted to Russian books, the other half is the Italian Futurists, Bauhaus, the European avant-garde, Russian illustrators, Russian authors published in foreign languages.
Catalog has the strongest influence on the market. At it is still referred to and booksellers and auctioneers.

If on auction briefly: for those who buy, now is a good time, there are good copies at prices more affordable than a year ago. Especially when it comes to auction sales, including foreign ones.
For those who sell time not the best.

For more words will once again appear in the next issue of the magazine "About Books. However, there is no generalization, but the usual review, which is preceded by a couple of paragraphs about the impact on the market to exchange rate fluctuations.

On the contrary I would like here to hear the views of those who are engaged in the issue of indexing artrynka methodology, their views on the subject: Is it possible to apply techniques and methods have already tried out in the market of painting and drawing at the market of antique books, indexes and create here.

What do you think changing topics of interest recently: Rossika, avant-garde, history, military history, geography discoveries?

Interest on the topics of antiquarian books on the market thing rather stable. Those who are interested rossica collect it, those who travel - to buy them.
Books provide wide opportunities to pursue their very narrow topic, less overlap with many other collectors, and thus create a thoughtful collection while minimizing costs.
