NATA NOVA,

Do you, in truth, aristocratic tastes.

Tastes I permakulturnohudozhestvennodemokraticheskie ..
(A hereditary aristocrats sincerely sympathize)

[олег назаров]

Yes .... Not bad little things this time!

I think that the Lord would have bought for myself the work of Yakovlev.

Would buy .....
If I could, and bought, would buy Picasso - full osutstvie risk of investment.
Given the situation, of course called the Russian author, and very likely Yakovlev, but I say - Roerich.

... overvalued estimeytom, in my opinion.
They record Annenkov at Christies in 2007, all the rest does not.
Then Portrait of Aleksandr Nikolaevich Tikhonov was with estimeytom in 900 000-1 200 000 GBP and went for 2,260,500 GBP.

Bravo!! totally agree .

It was yesterday at a reception on the occasion of the pre-auction display. Most liked Goncharova and Vasiliev. Soutine is not bad, but the picture is better than live. A few disappointed Annenkov - not his usual sharpness. It is in vain they hung next two nudes: Serebryakov and Matisse - shows how Matisse stronger as a draftsman. Satisfactory Negro Yakovlev and beach Vasiliev. In general - a little, but compared to other London auction looks good, especially after a couple of servings of good whiskey, which yesterday generously treated .

Looked directories. Paradoxically, catalog neshedevrov "I liked more than the" masterpieces ".

In my opinion, very good both of still life Larionov. The second I like, but the first was excellent.
Two still lifes with flowers Goncharova. Here the situation is reversed: the first one I like the second.
Nice still life Lansky.
Two cute Hmelyuka finally reached Sotheby's. I recall that six years ago, before selling out the studio of the artist, I struggled urged people of this forum to put their grandmother in the artist circle of Soutine. Then I answered that Hmelyuk - not Soutine, which I will answer like this: and this price can be seen
I'm still confident that at current prices the idea to buy Hmelyuka not lost its meaning.

Late Konchalovsky. Actually, I do not really like this artist, but I liked the still life - something similar to Nesterov (or vice versa)

Wonderful Benoit, too little like Nesterov (or vice versa)

Some beautiful costumes by Bakst and Benois (but here I give a place for comments Sima)

And finally, the work of an entirely different opera - her place soon in some kunstkmere, together with zaspirtovannymi monsters and other vagaries of nature - creation Gudiashvili. Of course, I understand that all you can unwind, but still is not every day you see a manifestation of a bad taste. In general, horror

Work Annenkov - absolute top-lot and it seems best at the show. In general, the charming Lord, which has long known, in this situation was not original.
The people on the second admission, as always at Sotheby's, was "overcrowded". Despite the fact that yesterday was arranged to show heavy collectors, among whom, it seems, a lot of post-crisis "newcomers". Many, however, were Credit Suisse clients - the main sponsor display in Moscow. For them, such as a more "comfortable" conditions have been prescribed. They did the crowd, and even among dealers ... not lyubyats ... to become involved in art. According to some statements (like, look, be as Shishkin now draws all ...), many for the first time were not only impressive reception at Guimet.
