Well, now top Russian artists have to redo http://artinvestment.ru/invest/ratin..._top12rus.html all remained in their places, but the record-breaking work for Goncharova changes.

In general, when rating reworked - it is a good symptom. So dvizhuha. Last year he had become covered with dust. Is that de Lempicka little blown away.
