Demand is falling, but it is wavy process. To this must be treated philosophically today, so tomorrow will be different. Only gallery that never closed, and rather successfully operate - antique. As for the question of the closure and reformatting contemporary art galleries, here I see the following risks: Gallery - a representative of the artists, galleries open up new names and give them a start in life. It is best exhibited in galleries artists from those who are in the world today - so this picture determines what work will be filled with museums in the future. Galleries, including bringing up the audience, teach them to walk to the exhibition, form the culture. Therefore, if the galleries are closed - it does not just mean that the market does not, it will also mean that the place to meet the artist and the viewer does not.

One of the outputs of the situation I see in that part of the state participated in the financing of exhibitions and helped expand the presence of Russian galleries on such iconic venues as the Art Basel in Miami and many others. I do not think that subsidies for "kill" the market, rather the opposite - an investment in the future because the demand for art, too, need to grow. "
