In Ukraine "artistic" boom. Works of art "taken away" just out from under the noses of owners. From thieves suffer not only lovers of beauty, but also the followers of the masters of the Carpathian school of painting.
- Paintings stolen not only from the galleries and workshops titled Copyright artists, but even from private collections and public institutions - says art Transcarpathian Art Museum Elena Prikhodko. - During the last years of the founders of the Carpathian school of painting Adalbert Erdelyi and Anton Bocsa risen hundreds of times. If even five years miniature brushes Erdelyi cost $ 300-400, now cheaper than $ 16-18 thousand paintings this author does not find.
Most precious painting is estimated pre-war period - $ 50-400 thousand. However, experts say it is not the limit, because the picture known zakarpattsev now very popular. Collectors are sounding the alarm: the last 10 years the country's mass export of the masterpieces of painting. According to law enforcement for two years, cleared four gangs that specialized in kidnapping of art treasures from the museums, clubs and even from home galleries.

- days of the theft of six works zakarpatskikh masters, among whom Erdelyi, Yuskov, Chovk, - said Assistant Chief of Uzhgorod GO GU MVD for interaction with the public Ekaterina Kiyovich. - They stole from a private collection associate one of the departments of Uzhgorod National University. The attacker entered the home, smashing a window.

Experts determine the artistic value of the lost, and some guards are seeking thieves. However, the official information on the number and authorship of the work does not own any law enforcement agency, and therefore, find the picture very difficult. Art critics argue that the extent of theft are enormous.
That's Honored Artist of Ukraine Yuriy Hertz is no longer expects to see his best paintings, which he wrote almost half a century. The thieves carried out of his studio for more than 20 paintings.

- Laureate of the Shevchenko Prize Jury Hertz belongs to the second wave of artists Carpathian school of painting, - member of the Union of Artists of Transcarpathia Kuzma, Boris. - For his works collectors chase, because of its very own original master stroke technique, which is practically impossible to forge. The thieves knew what to take, because only the work disappeared Hertz. By the most conservative estimates, the damage is around 40 thousand euros.

Steal hundreds, are units

If you decorate your home one or two pictures of the classics - you can only dream of peace. Experts advise to fork out and hire a security guard or else move them to a safer place. But even video cameras and alarm system does not guarantee the safety of paintings, even lesser-known artists. And if you want to contemplate the works of artists of every day, be careful - thieves already halfway to you.

- Attackers do not stop at anything above their profit, - complains People's Artist of Ukraine Clara Balog, who miraculously managed to survive after a raid by robbers. - We rented an apartment in the report, and on the wall, which was shot in the background, hung two paintings. No sooner had my interview to appear on local television, as we come back in raiders. My husband and I were at home, but it did not stop the thieves. Two masked men attacked the husband, stunned him a blow on the head, and have aimed the gun at me. They took three paintings zakarpatskikh authors: two - brush Boretsky one - Svalyavchika.

Forty pictures mysteriously disappeared from the apartment is also chairman of the Beregivsky district administration. One of them is the most valuable - "Spring in the Carpathians" - written in 1972 by well-known Transcarpathian artists Zoltan Soltes. Chew private collection now adorns the landscape is not known.

From the foyer of the reception the governor of Transcarpathia attacker made fabric, the market value of about $ 5 thousand. And in the premises of a closed joint stock companies, eight works Soltes, Kondratovich Mykyty and Kashshaya been tampered with on a copy. However, the thief was caught very quickly. They found 40-year-old uzhgorodets, who worked in the same building. At night he substituted paintings and sold them for a pittance.

We visited the attacker and the home of the pensioner under Uzhhorod, where the stolen painting Bocsa. They come back in and into another apartment in Tyachev where delivered three of Zoltan Soltes and one of Anton Bocsa, totaling 300 thousand hryvnia. All they have not been found and it is not surprising. Most of the works of art sell abroad. For example, two recent works by Bocsa been deleted in the customs from the citizen of Germany.

- The German tried to move across the Ukrainian-Slovak border, two paintings worth 125 thousand UAH., - Says spokeswoman Uzhgorod Customs Victoria Sengetovskaya. - The travel bag alien inspectors found rolls of wallpapers, but in them - two art canvases.

Experts Transcarpathian Regional Art Museum. Bocsa have set: the work of "Naked woman" and "Launches" represent the historical and artistic value. They managed to preserve the cultural fund of Ukraine. But, according to experts, most of the stolen over the past decade has not returned.

generally recognized fact that the thieves are very happy: museums protected worse than banks, and the values there are much greater.

15 years ago, being in Rome, went to the museum on Capitol Hill. The first thing that surprised guard at the entrance had not checked a bag hanging on his shoulder. To the second floor (where is the famous Diana), was surprised again: on the floor I was alone, no visitors, no protection, only the ancient treasures and I am. Is not obtained, I touched some kind of a bust, then lifted him up - no alarm. Among the exhibits were bald spots: instead of artifacts lay the paper, asserted that this exhibit is on restoration. Leaving the museum, I tried to reprimand the protection of that with such attitude, they will soon be completely without exposure. Answer killed me: garbage issue, we dig up new, we have a good - dam.: Cool:

Alexander Geynrihs
"To be precise - Odessa" Taking of Christ ... "- a modern copy of the original Caravaggio at the National Gallery of Ireland.

Odessa is a copy of the original announced in the 1950's by Soviet officials concerned. However, in 1993 in an article published in highly respected, but malochitaemom academic journal, Burlington Magazine, it was proved that the Odessa Caravaggio - Caravaggio did not.

Now, anyone familiar with the works of the maestro, he could see, she looked at the canvas that the Odessa version of a masterpiece - a decent modern copy, but no more.

It is unlikely that the thieves knew they stole a copy of standing in the best case, 10 per cent of the original.

So who has the last laugh? Mafia has punished himself for his own lack of artistic education? Alas, no.

After the thieves are not the only ones who may have missed the article in the Burlington Magazine. "

Miracle delirium. Interesting and this Geynrihs seen in general "Odessa" Caravaggio. Or is the journalistic tricks to find a sensational article in a "highly respected, but malochitaemom academic journal, and to whom all this is designed? Miracle delirium.

When we were in Odessa museum, too, for some reason assumed that it is not original and copy. On energy, I suppose.
Why do you doubt in this version?

Incidentally, during our visit turned out the lights across the street, where the museum. Because of an aunt, and of course the elderly Old ladies in some rooms. The windows all wide open (it was summer), that's how we are protected masterpieces.

[B]- Over the last years of the founders of the Carpathian school of painting Adalbert Erdelyi and Anton Bocsa risen hundreds of times. If even five years miniature brushes Erdelyi cost $ 300-400, now cheaper than $ 16-18 thousand paintings this author does not find.

Anton Bokshay is like a grandson of Joseph Bocsa (or the name mixed up)? Why his work to steal, if you can just buy, because he was still alive and in good health. And I think that the price had more than affordable. Why should you communicate with the criminals? Or so fun? I Bocsa had a son, also Joseph, and they signed the same, which often misleads those who buy paintings (but this is so, for general information, not the subject)

A widow Erdelyi sorry. Thieves entered into her apartment, tied her up and robbed. They took all of the brush Erdelyi. But she did not want to sell them, they had her way, she loved her husband. Immediately after the robbery the woman died. So on the conscience of the thieves, and even murder.

And at the expense of "energy", I had heard that Odessa Caravaggio, the best of the "Judas kiss" ever created by different artists.
