Sergeyitch, is difficult to tell without seeing the work, but a year ago on "Sovkome" little work on the plywood left over 40 t.ue and medium-sized canvas for 85t.ue.
This is a normal price for akademika.Ya think early works (before 1930), of medium size are more expensive than 100t.ue.Nado watch the origin of work, then you can do vyvody.Dlya me an interesting result, last week (SodBi), a new record sales who found Konstantin Juon "" Kremlin on the eve of the coronation of Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich. "Price is reached £ 959 650."
This benchmark prices for the first Soviet academicians ..

Eugene,

Soviet art at the Riviera (2006)
Another western gallery appealed to Socialist Realism
The popularity and demand for art of the Soviet period in the global market now and then confirmed by all the new developments. Decorate them "velvet" season "has decided Gallery from Monte Carlo Maison d'Art, opened in mid-August selling exhibition" Russian painting of the Soviet period. "

Message from the gallery to the subject rather surprisingly - its main specialty lies in a completely different area. Maison d'Art is famous as a gallery of old masters, and its collection includes paintings museum level. Moscow gallery known for participation in all three international exhibitions, the last of which she represented a remarkable level of performance by El Greco. Such a move - from El Greco to Nalbandian - it seems strange only at first glance. It tells a staff member galleries, despite the existing specialization, Maison d'Art is always open for interesting experiments. A Russian artists are interesting for several reasons. Art of the Soviet period, has long been closed and no one knows, and in recent years, the West is only beginning to get acquainted with this period in large-scale exhibitions and auctions. Hence the interest in this period not only Russian but also foreign art lovers and collectors. Well, in addition, warm attitude toward Russia in the gallery almost "in blood" - her owner Marietta Corsini has Russian roots.

The exhibition in the Maison d'Art small - only 33 works originating from private Western collections, mainly 1950-1980. Among them are typical for its time items such as a picture of Victor Konovalov, "Forward to Communism!" And "Holiday with Nikita Khrushchev," Dmitry Nalbandian, factory scenes of Alexander Burak, cheerful "postal worker" Nicholas Sysoeva. There are more lyrical "Still Life with Roses" by Alexander Gerasimov and purely Russian landscape "of the Rostov Dome churches" Yuri Pantyukhina. Prices vary from 1 to 80 thousand euros. Before the closure of the exhibition is almost a month, but the organizers already been reviewed - interest in the exhibition showed how the West and Russia collectors, and some pictures have already been sold.

Dear Eugene, this work Juon participated in the exhibition in 1913, probably, this can not serve as a guide price of Soviet academics. Academician, he became in 1947, and the work of those years pale in comparison with Yuonom time, the Union of Russian Artists. My personal opinion, of course ...

[Евгений]

All right. But Konchalovsky, Juon, Saryan, Deineka, Grabar, A. Gerasimov is the first Soviet academicians .. and why their prices can not serve as a guide? "Clearly, the average level of prices, even first names 250-300 t.ue., but it is nice when Russian realist artists go for that kind of money .. even 5-6 years ago about this and not dreaming ..

qwerty, you're right in that early work, there are always more expensive ..

[qwerty]

Eugene, excuse me, early of all these artists in the last message (probably with the exception Gerasimova, clearly inferior to the rest of the class) can not, but are an order of magnitude more expensive than those works which they created, becoming academics. But perhaps Dejneka not lost skill.

[Glasha]

Eugene, As always thanks for the comprehensive reply, I have not questioned your words, just really "as it gets together, it is hard!

[Glasha]

Eugene, I would like to know especially your opinion, as well as opinions of other distinguished participants of the forum - how much it might cost gouache, its size 51h35 see

Eugene, in my opinion, can not be put in one row Konchalovsky, Juon, Saryan and Deineko, Gerasimova. Yes, it can first and worked in the days of socialist realism, but they did not reckon in this direction. And the prices of their early works can not serve as a guide, because the early works are much more significant from an artistic point of view, than later. A work created during the socialist realism were not much different from the "mass flow". 250-300, and even thousands for works created during the socialist realism is still too much.
