tens of thousands of collectors, art dealers not only in Russia but also in CIS countries, in the West expect from you this story.

and I think this is an exaggeration ... people who are interested Sots Art is not so m tion. Certainly, they hold their own, in no small part on the art market, but still not great ... I'm here, for example, is generally not interesting. Although I was amazed by the sales results Deineka, Samokhvalova and another pair of friends, too much. Maybe the whole article is too, but the comments Tyukhtin will be interesting.

[Евгений]

Here is generalized questions that I sent to Sovkom.


1. Eyewitnesses who were present at the antique interior, say that exposure Sovkoma was a great success, plus a good sale. This contrasted markedly with the sales of most participants. How long has it? And how can we explain such a high public interest in Socialist Realism?

2. How do you assess the structure of buyers Sovkoma? Who are they in the first place: collectors or investors? Are there more?
3. When working with Western auction buyers note the high complexity of the procedure to return the works, the authenticity of which give rise to justifiable doubts among Russian experts. You can return to work, but it is difficult and lossy. As this matter be settled in Sovkome? What should a buyer that bought them work to take back?
4. What is your forecast for the degree of influence of financial crisis on Russia's market of art? Which areas will be most vulnerable? And what advice would you give to customers and investors?
5. How do you assess the dynamics of growth of prices for works of social realism comparable class for the past two years? What are your predictions for further price changes?
6. Who is by far the largest collectors of Socialist Realism?
7. Buy a Socialist Realism institutional investors and banks (Russia or the West)?
8. The upcoming sale of the lot "Traveling Girls" provoked a sharp discussion on the forum. In particular, participants were divided opinions on the attribution and felt a lack of information on this work. Now held after the phenomenal sales as you comment on this situation?
9. How many participants beat for lots on the auction of the Triumph of Socialist Realism?
10. Do you have practiced the guaranteed sale of paintings at auctions?
11. How do you view the fact that experts on the painting bore the legal and financial responsibility for expert opinions?
12. If you have plans to create a branch of the auction house "Sovkom" in another region (eg in Sochi)?
13. What is the main criterion for high-end art auctions?
14. What interesting thematic auctions "Sovkom" awaiting us at the end of 2008 and in 2009?
15. Who are the experts of the auction house "Sovkom" and how they are guided by, taking pictures at the auction?
16. It is felt that DPI set (porcelain) was sluggish. What is the reason? Inflated prices? The general lack of interest? Will continue the practice sets DPI auctions "Sovkom»?

Studied at the Gomel studio behalf MAVrubel (1919-1921) and the Moscow Higher Art (Higher Artistic and Technical Workshops, 1921-1930), in particular, in AD Drevin and R. Falk. Lived in Moscow.

Although by the time of Nyssa, started his path, while the independent arts groups ended, he not only joined the circle of the Society of Easel "(GRL), but stylistically it continued the line in his subsequent works (especially big influence on him has A. A. Dejneka). Already in his early landscapes reigns a sort of magical realism, granting the world a halo of poetic techniques - so, in pictures Autumn. Semaphore (1932, Tretyakov Gallery) and On the Road (1933, Museum of Fine Arts, Volgograd) attributes of the railroad brought spiritual, as in prose AP Platonov. And later, his paintings - with their broad, as free-angle and monumental rhythms, which affirms the modernity not as a set of ideological will, but as a lyrical sense - always soared above the average level of exhibition.

Among his characteristic works - Rainbow (1950, Art Museum, Dnipropetrovsk), a triptych in the north (1957, Tretyakov Gallery), Podmoskovnaya ROKADA (1957, Art Gallery, Lviv), above the snow and the collective farm "Zagorje (both - 1959-1960, Russian Museum). At the same time great things constantly writing small gouaches, romantic on the verge of a utopian fantasy. He became one of the forerunners of "severe style". His later period was marred by serious illness.

Nyssa, died in Moscow on June 18, 1987.

Eugene, well, where is it real? Previously, sales were at the level of 5-10 thousand, even taking into account of its rarity, the price can not be any higher than 30-40 tyschyach dollars, and not 250! Roughly the same thing, if that Deineko sold for $ 5 million
