Well, it is understandable that many would say about the dubious authenticity of the works are sometimes encountered on "Gelos", but again, what kind of information known businessman Herman L. Sterligov informed about the features of evaluation of works of art at major auction:

Article "Herman Sterligov: PR and hero Plowshare", based on the newspaper "Kommersant" and "Today", 2007: "And here, in the settlement, everything is always different: the same pig twice alike never zakolesh. I have a tractor DT-75, worth 1.6 million rubles, with many things that are the same, but only in dollars, much less useful than this tractor. I had a painting by Malevich, I sold it for more than $ 1.5 million to the gallery in Hamburg, but compared to the DT-75 is shit! "It is true that in the early 90's I took myself its literally for pennies. Kandinsky, I was generally a whole pile. At one time they came to me couple well-known art and suggested: "Come on we'll assemble a collection, you'll be buying pictures on our recommendation, then sell any - the entire collection to pay back. And it did . I fuck knows how many artworks bought, then sold one - all rescued. One Malevich had three pieces, this big, and every detail, watercolors different, I do not even consider. As long as the same Malevich carried on auctions at the same Sotheby's, I realized: there is just all bought and sold, until the opinions of experts. And prices well established. They say: 100 thousand for this work, we will immediately give a certificate. "

Interestingly, the director of the Russian office of Sotheby's, Sotheby's Russia "does not deny the fact of his acquaintance with Sterligov and remembers him as follows:

Article "Mikhail Kamensky: Malevich - our symbol of faith, it should be Russia's", newspaper "Kommersant» № 197 (4014) on 29.10.2008: Russian has never been the buyers of Malevich's auction market, although repeatedly bought his work in other ways. I'm not even talking about the "Black Square" of oddly out-of collection of the bankrupt Inkombank, which Potanin bought for the Hermitage. The collection includes one of the first Russian millionaires Herman Sterligov were two works by Malevich from Peter - a picturesque "Two Peasant Women in the background field and watercolor" Head of a Peasant, "passed from the widow of prominent Soviet-era Moscow collector Jacob Evseyevich Rubinstein. Winter 1992 Sterligov asked me to look at these things and express their views about the authenticity and price. In the frosty Saturday morning, he sent me a huge black jeep, which frightened the neighbors. A few minutes at breakneck speed, we domchalis to his office in the Leninsky Prospect. The ceiling of the cabinet Sterligov was riddled with bullets. It turns out he had a habit to shoot at the ceiling of a gun. And in the center of this tyrant is afraid of standing on a chair "Two Peasant Women in the background of the field. After that I did Sterligova nor his Malevich never met.

By the way, drew attention to the phrase "Malevich - this is our faith, and it should be Russia, which just will not think that would sell ishing, we all know that the creed of most antique dealers are a dollar sign ($), but not with the squares of Malevich or whatever. In this sense, community is not behind Russian designers who even Putin and the CBR got acquainted with his faith - the sign of the ruble.
