The museum is more interested in cash for a particular show than in the collections, and in fact in this case referred to the transfer of work for at least $ 50 million. I did not particularly waiting for compensation, I want to keep the collection in the integrity of that work are not sold separately. My wife and I are trying to sort through to keep the best of what collected. The only option - to transfer the state museums. Any collector will sooner or later thinks, for what was all his years of labor. You yourself are desperately needed - is understandable. It is your passion, your hobby, your life is, well, a little business that they hide. But what's left something in the end? That same rastaschat as collections Geltzer, Ruslanova, Myasnikov, Blokhina, Smolyannikova - or still remain as a memory of you and the assembled period? Good thing, if things will move on to other collections - like the old assembly went in his time with us, then young collectors. But experience shows that most of the things being smuggled abroad. I am not opposed to the Russian art spread all over the world, on the contrary, it would be only for the better, but the question is in another - what values we are losing, and where will the best

For me - it is the most interesting part "conversation." How to dispose of collected rarities? Question is not idle for the serious collector, really conscious that the things people are experiencing - and the creator and sobiratelya.Reshenie in each, individual case depends on a combination of those or other circumstances. I think it must satisfy:
- Collector's ambitions, with a clear awareness of they future of the collection
- The satisfaction of his material and a certain number of persons (if any).
It is necessary to discard any unnecessary posturing and rhetoric.
