Records Christie's

[Кирилл Сызранский]

I wonder about that " money laundering " at the auctions.
Does anyone smodet explain it to me ?
Laundering , as I understand it , is the legalization of criminal money . How this money may be legalized by buying Basquiat painting , for example, at auction Christie's?

and the market (as I have recently said one trader icons ) is thriving .

At the market, very different amounts , you hardly find a sale of Russian icons for a million dollars, if at all here.
In Russia , for example , the most expensive icon ( and one of the most expensive sales autsionnyh icons in the world ) , sold at public auction - " Nikola in the Life of " the end of the XV century , Gelos , 207 g - 7,000,000 rubles. ( $ 274 000 ) .
Maybe someone knows the numbers above?
