And contemporary art is now generally how much it costs?

As far as artists are exhibited in gorsadah, streets and waterfronts (do not want anything bad to say about them), then there is the price formed by the buyer and its look, but how will it look with my favorite standard lamp.

I confess that being a tourist and buy ten or fifteen years ago, production artists mentioned by the author quotes the ground, I came eventually to the idea that there is almost impossible to meet a real painting. Yes, you can find a fairly well made works, but mostly for sale that fits under the average tastes of the population. Another has a large amount of wealth of the frame.
Now, with the import of Thai-Chinese products, which we have already signed Russian names, the situation has worsened. These comrades go on Rublevke and other near Moscow highway, offering rolls of paintings for all tastes and styles in an average of 100 ve. And in some previously very decent galleries of up to half of these "paintings" recognizes an experienced eye.

Many commercial galleries are also forced to go on a leash in public. Make it more respectable and wealthy audience, which did not have a "hole in the wallpaper to cover up" and hang the frame over the fireplace, or on the advice of the designer, to create a light spot of a certain size and color. Interest 90%of the paintings, is relatively expensive sold in galleries, even with the names of famous artists, have little relation to art. After all are as student, as well as bad work, which the artist was too lazy in due time to redraw.

A good example - the distinguished Leonid Shishkin Gallery. They say that selling time. Fully agree. They sell the Soviet era, and not paintings. Much of them have only historical, but no artistic value.
