Summer auction in London

[qwerty]

Today's auction at Sotheby's were strangely. On the one hand a little surprised by the number of fighters - about half of the hall, on the other hand bought up a lot - by eye per cent 75. We bought everything, including all the questionable things about which I wrote earlier. From the spectacular fights remember the following: the battle for Polenova (№ 329, tiny 11h19, some chumazenky) began with the 5000, ended at 32000, battle for Roerich (№ 350, 21x 37, tempera on paper) began with the 7000, ended at 68000 , the battle for the ugly girl Repin (№ 337) began with the 30000, was completed in 140000, and the real battle turned for the ladies portrait Luba - began with the 20000, finished on 240 000. General, can not help wondering: people have sense enough to earn decent money, and it is not enough to deal with the fact that they are buying.
This was my last note from London, thank you for your attention.
