Russian art market in 2017

[Seriy]

The reality is that artists have no place to sell cheaply.
Internet hopes placed on it is not justified. The most popular site in RuNet - Artnau experiencing an outflow of artists ( when I registered , it was 6600 now 5200) , they leave because there are no sales. IMHO, we do not need new sites and new exhibition projects and fairs . In addition to the Art and Art in Moscow Manege ( focused on expensive art) nothing, everything else is half alive , no one wants to spend money on advertising to attract visitors and shoppers .
Yes, art is a cheap trend. Very strongly unfolding NADA, we also do this one does not deal with - a very expensive infrastructure , unprofitable to sell cheap . I do not believe that the rent will decrease, do not believe that people will actively buy paintings to the web .
So it is unlikely that anything will change at all - the gallery will slowly go out , the number of artists in the market will continue to decline.
