Bidding went well, exactly one third, maybe more, Odessans (paintings) being sold make money. According to many exciting live auction, an interesting point a few works went far below the start of sentences of the hall from customers the amounts were much lower than the reserve prices. I am sincerely happy for Samvel, 1500 for the schedule in the crisis-ettto not bad, besides that thin. the market is not unwound.

It was pleasant to read the reviews (all: both the positive and not very). In any case, left a good precipitate that our attempts were not indifferent to the connoisseurs of art, living on Kiev. I hasten to assure you that this auction is a really "living" in contrast to the majority, held in Kiev last year (here it will have to take my word for it - all the statistics I have tracked). This was primarily contributed itself a compilation - "for every taste, so to speak, and prices on the exhibited works. Those who do not see prices on the site can get access to them by writing a letter to the soap: info@epoque.com.ua (if not difficult - Specify Your username on the forum).
P.S. I almost forgot! Our next auction - November 7, 2009 Topic partly determined by the date Those who wish to participate - Velke, with the month of September waiting for letters ...
Sincerely, Alexander.

Alexkorvin, you work from the "broad strata" of collectors at the auction, or you plan to consider forming a collection of behind the scenes?

[Alexkorvin]

Altim, and we previously took for each auction of work from 15-20 principals at least, so I wrote - Velke all comers. Key priorities - interesting /pokupabelnost "author and price. Now we all understand that the price of art-market differ from winter and spring of last year, so the adequacy of the price - the main priority.

With prices of everything is clear, just as a person who buys a lot and a lot of talking with dealers, I am a bit aware of how the so-called distributed "quotas". As a result, auctions, including your last complete work, which dealers for months dragged through the city and failed to sell. That is, the work is clearly not an auction. In general, it would be very nice if your auction is moved to the operating mechanism is the collectors (by declaring the collection of works in the web - at his site here), not only with dealers or people who are somehow " aware of the topic.

Altim, sometimes (I say to myself) pokupaesh picture lying for years, nor anyone in галерейки demanded, then come to you and ahayut how well we have not noticed, or rather where did you get this, so here is lay nobody wants. And at the auction.

[Alexkorvin]

Altim, I would add: yes, indeed, the dealers out and live that offer their work to different clients, but the layer of "their" customers do not always intersect with a layer of "our" customers - people do not buy pictures on the street (and this is completely different buyers: those who have no opportunity or time to look for something for their collections and those who simply do not buy anything from the "strangers"). To do this, and auctions are held (for us bring 200-300 works, another 200 are sent to the soap, we also selected the 167 at this time .... I think my idea is clear). I fully agree that many may think, they say, we select the picture, according to our subjective opinion ... I hope this is not so ... We try to listen, take stock, look at what others are selling (not only Kiev) auctions, ie, first of all we rely on the willingness of the consumer (as I wrote "pokupabelnost" author). Understand, we do not hold an exhibition of paintings, and try to make a profit. And then there are other priorities in the selection of authors and paintings for the auction.
