Experienced artists say that this is a common problem with the catalog. Some decide to read it , make a digital version of the catalog and replace any image in the desired thread . Print a copy of the figure , refer to the buyer , everyone is happy - the buyer is working " catalog " and the artist avoids unnecessary and costly uncompensated .

A sophisticated version of what . Is it really that make ?

Deadline day of the show was rough. Immediately answer the many exciting question-Bought a "Big Apple"? - Yes, it is purchased.

 Women's Day, after inspecting the entire exhibition, and said a lot of warm words, stopped in front of the three color abstractions, praise them and started crying and said, "Sorry, I could not keep the tears, you are doing something incredible with color ...." and quickly left. I was disappointed, no one cried in front of my paintings and I had no idea that there are people so sensitive to color. The guard remained indifferent to the tears ... to my slight irritation of the guard sat almost all day on my chair at my table, because their post in 5 Hall of highly barrel.
  The people were many. For lunch, popped Arthur Krupenin-TV star, a showman, many know him on a talk show on TV - a tall, very charming, with a beautiful woman, his wife. He found my work on Artnau in the summer, we corresponded, but because of my goings to and fro were able to meet just now - he just liked some of my work and would like to see them live. This is a theme-how to attract the attention of people from showbiz and magazines for your creativity? response, very simply write a good painting, and they will find you.
Then the sequence of events, I remember vaguely - began preparations for the Vernissage oread, people coming, like water from a broken pipe. Some collectors came and told me, that they hang in the office and at home, buy a catalog. Began arriving journalists, photographers, event attracted a couple hundred people, including a live orchestra and all the stars of painting. Tightened and some of our forum users, Samvel, Peter, looked stern Sim, said she wanted to see the texture of my paintings before the judge about it .... Dear Sim, you moved by me to tears .. this is a schepitilnost in matters of criticism remains even not in the 20th and the 19th century .... And what my invoice .... but as a "yellow pear on a plate 'texture I do not use.
Some people walked around for a long time the "Big Apple", but the attention of potential buyers could I give just a little bit, at the same time, artists have come and insistently invited me to go with them to Argentina.
 Away for free to grab a pie and wine in oread, I got the pie, and the wine is gone. Mr. Bogdanov tried to remove compromising frame-Iksigon gags khalyavnyy another pie from someone else's Opening Day - but I told him I did not shame and quietly dozheval pie.
 All this occurred against the backdrop of the beautiful music of live band with a saxophone.
 Forgot to say that some day again had a conversation with me, that I own disgrace low prices best exhibition hall in Moscow and would have to raise prices by 2-4 times.
 Met at the opening of the artist, whom I saw in the studio painting and there he was the best in drawing, but I found his work online. Led him to her, sat her down and asked, "Why you do not have the Internet?" - "I have no computer, no money to buy ..." "Sell the pictures!" - "And they will take 200 dollars?" - I answered - "The Work of art worth as much as he is willing to pay for the viewer ... start with 1,000 rubles, sell 20, buy a computer, will further increase ...."
 In my opinion, he left in doubt whether to give figures for 1000 rubles, for nothing ....
People with oread sold, there was everything on schedule.
Came a big family, beckon me - I: "You wanted to ask something about the job?" - "No, we want you to buy this work (fovistsky landscape with a boat). And even some in a couple of ..."
So gone "Big Apple".

In the picture:
1. Arthur and I Krupenin.
2. Lilia P. Slavinskaya near her favorite work Iksigona. Familiarity and communication with the LP - A gift of fate, free bonus for my CHA show. Wise, kind, open person. Despite the fact that it is one of the most respected gallerists Russia from the 90s, there is no arrogance, arrogance, by type, "I post a portfolio of artists in the trash without looking." Open daily, lugging paintings, along with their employees, and the time to talk to Tsereteli, or open a speech at the Opening day several hundred people.

Deadline day of the exhibition

Seriy, I am sorry that your show is over. It was very interesting to read your reviews .
I like how you covered the topic - it was very talented.
I think that the PR of your exhibition a success to you more than 100 percent.
Just hristomatiya PR!!
I wish you continued success !

[Seriy]

Santa, by reading my posts on the preparation and holding of the exhibition can give the false impression that the aggressiveness , hard work , combined with public relations , we can solve any problems and ensure success. Like, if you got a Iksigona , if all do , how does Iksigon , the result will be the same .
 I 'm not sure. The basis of successful exhibitions of paintings , painting itself . If your work to people , that is, the response , return, if you do not want you hurt ourselves even in the cake , nothing but the huge costs of forces and means at the output you get .
And I have , hopefully, will write in more detail, but if the short- or PR , or the Internet does not have absolutely no impact on business results show , all the purchases occurred spontaneously , people who have no idea about the AI ​​or Artnau , not to mention artmazhere . Just - came , saw , liked and bought . T e for the commercial result of my show could do nothing , just silence hang the picture.

Seriy, read with great interest all the pieces of music.
Good!
Congratulations on the success of the exhibition!

[Seriy]

Let me start with my behavior alternative. One artist, with a fine art education, his handwriting, a long list of exhibitions and dealt with their affairs for many years, now exhibited in the Central House of Artists, the exhibition has given its very modest offer to the web - like, purely for his friends. I asked, why did not the story is told about the exhibition? - Why? it has no practical effect. - Well, at least a couple of photos ...- Do not need anything, it's quite a waste of time.
 This artist is right twice, the Internet has absolutely no impact on sales in the CHA, the second force during preparation and holding of exhibitions need to save.

Iksigon went the other way. As a true citizen of the Internet, he believed that popularity to the web somehow projected onto reality, if t e Iksigon - a popular artist on the Internet, then seeing him in real life, people will get his picture in larger quantities than if the artist was absolutely Iksigon unknown to the network, T e was just a painter offline. In fact, all purchases made during the exhibition were made on the basis of a spontaneous purchase, buyers have not had the concept of Iksigone, they just went and saw the work purchased. All.
 On the territory of the CHA has failed completely to Russian avant-garde line, no one needs, there is no one understands, the wall of Russian avant-squandering exhibition space. Zero response. Accordingly, the title "The Return of the black square" on what did not work, people did not understand the problems itself. And the words "Russian Avant-Garde," most people do not know.
 And what about work? Work quality and sincerity of painting, people are tired of fraud, of threading want something piece. The great success of portraits (unexpected for me).
 So I gave the Internet anything? Yes, given the luxury-human communication. For me personally, it is even more valuable than success in the form of some sales. Many Internet users have come and we met in person. If I did not write to the web, I would have been completely deprived of this. I look forward to continued dialogue.
  I also became acquainted with artists who are themselves exposed to CHA and at other venues, including the whole world. This is a special kind of artist, one might even say caste to enter into it, the artist, for example, must be able to move both morally and financially a couple of big shows with no sales at all, but it happens. They all know each other, than they can help, but the network their advice and information is not spread, which is typical for any purely professional community. This is one of the reasons why I deleted my last post ironic. Yes, by Internet standards, it was excellent and literary characteristic, rating. But I realized that I already belong to another pack, where such a description in another hlestkost Vernissage, even without the names and coordinates, is unacceptable.
On the commercial result of the exhibition, I can not say more than already said, repulsed the first week of rent. As sales are correlated with the total cost of the exhibition, I do not know, because it kept a record of expenses. It was decided to print a catalog, I was typing and not thinking about the economic feasibility. It was decided to rearrange the frames - to recover, recover, until straightened everything. Spend a lot of 3-5 thousand, how many were there? here was told today, we must pay for the light about 3 thousand, they just paid 10 thousand light rub .- madness. If an artist puts on show the process flow, it minimizes costs and wasted, based primarily on their immediate return. Prices have increased my work at times, the last purchase came in perfectly inoffensive prices.
 My future plans? sleep, get over it. I wrote two months, not pictures. Of course, the exhibition, contact with so many people have caused a sharp correction of all my views. I need to digest it all and decide what to do next. Exhibition of plans for the near future, I refused, although the proposals were.

Seriy, here with two of your theses of " debriefing " is probably not agree.

title "The Return of the black square ," no matter what did not work, people did not understand the problems itself .

as a whole, once again congratulations on the successful event on many fronts! and it seems to me that many are so accustomed to reading your blog here ( it turned out as a good multi-part film ( not to be confused with the terrible tyagomotnymi current serials ), which will truly miss your notes, of course, as noted already , many , no less talented, as and everything else. I like this a few nights in a row already came in the first place on the site in your theme. thanks again .

With so many things of course disagree, but not with this. He worked as the market came to different people with different tastes and bought what they liked . There were different artists, different talents and bought not only something but single-part and all sorts of other things . You've had a very good place , I felt very good place. Here's an example Exhibition E. Shibanova not very visible. Vobschem important as you correctly noted, this kind of atmosphere you have experienced.
