Contemporary art in museums

[qwerty]

Artdealer, private museums, it happens, there is even a decent size, for example, the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, and there is even something to see. Large as the state museums, of course, buy and contemporary art, but it seems to me that such a museum, having one Koons, hardly buy a second, tagda as he pleased, whenever possible, will buy eight or ten Bosch Yavlensky.

Two observations:

1. We must not forget that the national museums are a great number of works of modern art for free - in Europe they are often transferred as payment for inheritance tax the heirs of the artist or collector, by the United States has the ability to pay income tax by transferring to a museum of his work; in anywhere in the world the artist willingly submits them to the gift in major museums.

2. Unlike the "big" museums, which rarely sell imeyushiesya in the collection of things (actually, the state museums did not have the right to do so, they must seek permission from the government or parliament), "small" private museums often sell the purchased several decades ago, the product Artists, meanwhile, lost its "relevance"

I remember that I tried to draw your attention to the origin of Komar and Melamid, sold at auction in the autumn Mac Dougall, to quote him:

Provenance: Ludwig Museum, Vienna, Austria.
Private collection, USA

and leave you to draw conclusions themselves (in general, in auction catalogs the most interesting - not images).

LCR, excuse me, I did not quite understand, curiously, in this event. Sale of private museums, some of his exhibits - not uncommon, you yourself have written about it, quite rightly, pointing out one of the reasons. Sometimes the money just need to repair, to expand, to buy something else. So what is special? Explain, please.

the question is whether contemporary art seen through the century just as today we are perceived by the Impressionists and Expressionists ?????

That did not keep, read and wanted to answer
It seems to me that just to determine what will be popular
     When the artist talent and not a good craftsman in the film that will always be something that will touch the audience, it will not pass indifferently by
That's the criterion And all Zveryevs-it will help promotion for season

Unfortunately it is not clear to all. The overwhelming amount - need loud guidance.
Many are well aware that an artist like Zvereva really a bubble, but while it is possible to earn - it will sound.

You are mistaken, a beast was a very talented artist.

On the talent is difficult to argue, Eugene, and why? Everyone still keeps his conviction.

[Meister]

Ninni, I assure you, Zverev exactly go down in history of art as a significant non-conformist artists ... And unlike most contemporary artists, he is clearly not "one month" on the market. He was insanely talented, just not all the ideas he managed to express on canvas ... But new ideev he had more than most of his sogruppnikov most of the participants ... And the art market knows about it ...

Talent once was, so what! Only his last twenty years have passed, so to speak softer, senselessly. No studio, no serious work, in fact, some "sponge bow." Did what they bought, and it is - a sure road to degradation. He himself understood this, saying to himself that as an artist, he is after the mid-sixties was over. But the best works - he, of course, artist.

You write: "Many people are well aware that an artist like Zvereva actually bubble
100%of professional art dealers, collectors, art critics, all who are engaged in serious contemporary art feel differently.
