I understand that Mrs. Roginskaya decided to hold its auction in the autumn ... all, perhaps, will seriously ... But help may be someone else, we need right now, and urgently.
However, Artchronika apparently supports starters the day after the exhibition, and even representatives of the sponsors of the publication will go to fly (but Volcano Volcano ... there is - here and sponsors do not have power), so that everything is more or less clear - in the sense of what is such a Publication ...

In ArtChronika bit muddled, perhaps it's our fault, we have not clearly explained our idea.

I have prepared the following text:

When he heard about the horrific events of 29 March, I decided to try to organize a charity auction in aid to the victims - their assets, unfortunately, I have quite enough, but simply to do nothing was impossible.
So I turned to my friends artists, art critics and curators to support this idea.

I must say that no one from those with whom I have already spoken, has not refused to participate, on the contrary, the artists happy to give the work of journalists and art critics have given the message in the media, curators and art historians have given a lot of valuable (and better, priceless because I have no experience of organizing such events) advice and promised to support the auction by word and deed.
With the administration of the site Artinvestment.ru emerged this partnership - it was agreed that from 20 th to 23 rd April at an auction site online, which will be sold works are already in Moscow, or you can rapidly deliver, and later we will conduct a live auction of paintings brought from abroad - in fact at this auction will feature works from almost all over the world.
Already given their consent Oscar Rabin, Vladimir Nemukhin Constantine Zvezdochetov, Alexander Mitlyanskaya, Valery Orlov, Andrei Krasulin, Leonid Juice, Alexander Yulikov, Oleg Tselkov, Nikita Alexeev, Ira Waldron, Oleg Yakovlev, Haim Sokol, Michael Odnoralov, Natalia Nesterova Vladimir Titov, Yuri Albert, Vadim Zakharov, Valery Koshlyakov, Alexander Vinogradov, Vladimir Dubosarskiy, photographers Igor Palmin and Vladimir Sychev, and many, many others.
Relatives and friends of deceased artists and collectors make the work Esayan, Zvereva, Unknown, Roginsky, of course.
I think that the list grows strongly - I phoned far from all.
We think that this is a good plan - sort of the proceeds realized from the auction online can be transferred to the victims very soon, and proceeds from the "live" auction will support them in the most difficult time when they came out of hospital, will need physical and psychological rehabilitation.

Now we are trying to organize the delivery of paintings from Moscow (on personal contacts, so it was free) and find the room and the auctioneer for the bidding (preferably also free). The most important issue - is how to maintain control over the allocation of money to ensure that no penny was not lost on the road, and all reached the accident, nor the innocent people they really want. In this matter, I shall rely entirely on the administration Artinvestment.ru - as I write this "explanatory note", they meet with lawyers to resolve the financial issue.

I hope that we get a lot of money. I hope that these auctions will be held in the best traditions of Russian charity, when for every object, auctioned, fought not only art lovers but also just people who want to help victims of fate. I hope that this money will help victims regain their health, or even just to survive. I hope that you will be sensitive to their plight and help us.
Previously a low bow to you my for your support.

I do not "own" auction, Lorart. The fact is that for the delivery of works, especially the free, to Moscow takes some time. On the other hand, wanted to raise some money without delay - that's how it happened that there will be two auctions - but it's still better than if it had not been a single?

Now poslezavtrashney exhibition, its sponsors and a trip to Paris: it is completely separate and unrelated to the charity auction event (although some of the exhibiting artists have promised to give his works at auction, and sponsors have promised not only to work, but also actively participate in the bidding , for which once again honor them and praise).

Sam organizer - Vladimir Kara - decided part of the proceeds from the sale of directories to be given in cash assistance, for which separate him my gratitude.
I want to say that by organizing this exhibition, I was no special relationship does not have, and her presentation I was doing the same reasons that prompted me to write on this forum about the exhibition, for example, Nolde or the Van Gogh and Monticelli, namely to inform local people about the events in the world of art, especially since it's still an exhibition of artwork of Russian origin, that is, it is most directly related to the theme of this site.
 
If I did something wrong, I apologize. The only thing I ask is that my mistakes are not affected by postadavshim in terrorist attacks.

Once again: I am immensely grateful to everyone who participates in both auctions - letting it work, whether taking on a huge job on their organization or buying things exhibited.

To collectors somehow do not seem good enough to get through. While confident that many of us have our friends-friends (or clients) that we can still send a link to the ongoing online auction.

1) The artistic level of most represented artist at a charity auction is very low. "On God, that we worthless."

2) There is, at first glance, good work provided by the galleries, but ... buy expensive paintings on photographs 5-10 thousand rubles - is nonsense. Often, the photo in a sort of artist, and nothing but look at reality - and to choose nothing. And vice versa.

3 )...........................................

PS

Advertising at the auction were a lot, good job the media, even I was attracted to the buyers. But the overall result [until] depressing. Undoubtedly, it was necessary to more carefully select the work to leave behind the level of the street "Vernissage". Sometimes a buyer wants to buy something, and choose and not anything else.

suggests that the Administration an interesting marketing trick: introduce one additional lot. It is empty, without pictures. Here, every participant will be able to leave as much money as it sees fit: a thousand rubles, two, ten. Naturally, any auction in this Lot should not be. Anyone who decides to contribute, leaves a record. And everyone should be celebrated (may) pay that amount. Money easily convert bank transfer, even for individuals, not bothering to visit for an unnecessary scene. Thus, participation in the auction could take even those living abroad. And without any problems.

Chernomashentsev Vladimir, I pulled your third paragraph. In my not be in this topic to kick each other.
Charity is voluntary, and say that this charity auction is sluggish, but the picture would have been better then the trade went to more animation - not correct. It is clear that Works by Van Gogh now for 1000 rub. - Auction unfold oh-e-her. But what it will be for charity?
And even now, I think too early to worry - quietly goes. We shall live to the end, then we will analyze.

Proposal to make an empty lot - interesting, think it over. Although there is reason - why pay money for a pacifier is easier than for any image, even if you do not like. The main thing is the desire to help and not buy in this case.

Proposal to make an empty lot can be interesting not for those who want to help, but for those who want to make a "show of" before the other members of the forum. For those who wish to donate without participating in the auction, has long been open official charity account, which is and will be credited the proceeds of the auction. So that way?
In contrast to the "demonstration performances, I just see the problem of excessive publicity of the auction. For example, not every party forum, excluding bravado, want to make everyone else knew what and how much he buys. After a couple of years that the forum works, everything is somehow "familiar".

It is easy to circumvent. You can register under a different nickname, that's all. Programming limitation.
