Paintings from the Collection of Lobanov-Rostovsky exhibit in St. Petersburg

Tiutchev, you raised the topic in the calculation for what? What the Constantine Palace, under the picture X will be signed: "Purchased by Prince Lobanov-Rostovsky at auction for 10 pounds" - in vain deceived. Although the prince gave a rather interesting interview about this purchase, but at the same time and the prospects for Russian antiques market back in 2008. And before too, spoke only very few people paid attention.
But his wife - Nina Lobanov-Rostovtseva assembled a unique collection of Russian avant-garde porcelain. It so happened that the spouses have different interests - and the different collections. Even a book on the subject written. Only here, as it is about that very few people know. As far as I know, a collection of Princess was not the subject of the transaction with the gentlemen of St. Petersburg.
