It may seem that I am the artist himself, it is not so, I am as you call the dealer and collector in one person. I think that today to be successful, just insulting to people in general, but DLA artist so bolee.Ya also know that now exist, and brilliant artists, poets, kompozitory.i.t.d, they do not just hearsay, they do Nobody knows, but they will have their say in the future. If they are known, then in narrow circles, which may even deliberately avoid this popularity, because they have a sense of shame, and they do not want to become on par with today's political thinkers. On their way to fame are, today's dealers, brokers and managers. etc., with his beloved mediocrity. Something like today to be successful, a special mind-no need to look around. What causes wealth? "- Answer-the Spirit of levity. All good things are kept in soih vice-these figures. This naturally does not apply to everyone, but to most accurately. The artist is quite different, there is something beyond, not of this world, through the artist in the broadest sense of the word says, someone even I admit that the artist is held captive by that someone. Therefore, it can not be perfected, that someone he dictates the terms. Usovershnstvovatsya be a teacher, or combine. I am not in conflict with itself Saboia, but rather the contrary.

missart: advise what to buy? Many pictures yet unknown artists? Enough paintings have more serious artists (for example, those who have already exhibited abroad, who have catalogs, awards, etc. but let's say even a small scale )...

qwerty: I began to buy paintings in the late eighties. My first acquisitions were works by Alexander Parkhomenko and Eugene licorice. These people have had solo exhibitions in the CHA, it was a lot of publications, for their work frantically traded at auctions. I was lucky at the auction and buy some of their works to 10 000 rubles. Then that was big money, for example, Lada cost about 7000. Can you now say anything about any artist mentioned?
-------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------

qwerty, insulting or that none of these artists today do not hear (rather, it is natural), sorry that you bought the work over time will not be better. (I apologize in advance, this is just my purely personal opinion).
      Asked Vladimira quite differently about you, I think, indirectly touched on an important topic titles, regalia, and so forth. (2A, ZB ...), which have not see the principal.
-----
On the pages of the forum in different themes slipped recommendation to pay attention to the existence of publications, number and quality of exhibitions.
      If the artist a lot of good, quality show - it means he somehow involved in market processes.
      Often, the buyer is knowledgeable in the subject of purchase, not guided by information about the availability of awards and the number of exhibitions, and uninformed - it may be uninformed and to assess their quality.

      The building of the city Philharmonic sounded N Bach performed by "... a compatriot of the great composer, bright and talented organist R. Bethke. After the first chords understand people hesitate to leave immediately, and were forced to enjoy the first division, while the rest of the audience applauded. It later emerged that Mr. "a compatriot of the great composer, generally speaking, a professional firefighter, and the body baluetsya on Sundays at a local church. One of the Philharmonic concert did not stop there. This figure is several years in a row gifts to children's music school in second-hand balalaika and pianinkami, reputed patron; prepay rehearsal Philharmonic Orchestra, recorded several CDs, and with the support of the Department of Culture, the festival moved to Russia for a conductor.
I think not knowing inside out, having read the record of such a musician, very even and you can impress.

Personal exhibition at City Hall, some town in Germany with a population of 10 thousand people is very different in quality from the same exhibition in the museum of local lore Uryupinsk, though, both to put it mildly, it may be questionable. In the early 90's, many Western artists attacked our provincial museums and city galleries with only one desire - "room" to its credit "museum exhibition. And such an opportunity provided to them heartily (humanitarian euphoria). At home they could only dream that someday could be finished their exhibition activities in the museum space, and we have them with him began.
      With awards and honors is the case in much the same. "Honored" provide for retirement, and ministerial awards such as "Confessions", "Inspiration" and so on .--served basis the queue. Membership in the SC by many artists and admirers of their talent is seen as an indulgence, which provides an eternal stay in the history of art.
       "The works are in the collection of N-tion of the art gallery" - sounds proud, but do not forget that no one has yet canceled the curatorial nepotism and mezhdusoboychikov. The quality of junior and senior scientists (experts) of many N-ских institutions does not speak - they (staff) go there to work work, not more.
(From the TV news: a round table brought together art and local art ").
      I remember as a 91-m "local art" were worn with another "great compatriot composer" and explained Talochkin discharged "Other Art", that he does not get underfoot with an unknown Ernst.
Talochkin until late in the evening sat in the foyer of the gallery with paintings on the boxes until, by chance passing by and is already heading home a woman ekspozitsioner not asked who he was and what was doing here. Genuinely surprised, she unpacked the night before, along with paintings, was the inventory and all the way, apologizing, apologizing, apologizing for the misunderstanding occurred. Talochkin calmed down and asked:
      - Difficult to work with fools?
      - Very, - she said - They believe that Ernst Unknown - it is a noun and an adjective.

      Director of the gallery, accompanied by flocks of staff, personally conducted an excursion for people from the government, leading them through the halls, warehouses, etc. Finding himself in the restoration, he demonstrated the equipment and explained that there are in the order of pictures from the collection of galleries - is restored and the paint layer is prevention:
      - Here is a picture of our artist Petrova. This - Ivanov portrayed autumn. This - not seeing the signature on the front side of the canvas, the director looked at the turnover and continued, - This is our artist Zohcho. Over there - two icons of 19 th century.
      If the names of the first two artists I knew, the third name I had never heard. After the departure of VIP-guests, too, looked at the other side of the canvas. The artist Zohcho were requisites: 30 x 40.
-----
      Serious artists (seriously a Related) avoid relationships with institutions, not serious, preferring to remain in demand only in the narrow circle of professionals. They are not involved in market processes, not because they have decided to retain its independence from the market, but merely stating a fact of this independence, because it was not possible.
      In summary, I note: it is sometimes worthwhile to pay attention not on the awards and exhibitions, and in their absence - this can also be measure with a plus sign.
      Therefore, when buying a painting of unknown or little-known artist, obviously, only remains that the painting itself. All information in itself.
      What is unknown? Absolutely nothing. Uncertainty can be corrected. Mediocrity irreparable.

Severe artists (seriously a Related) avoid relationships with institutions, not serious, preferring to remain in demand only in the narrow circle of professionals. They are not involved in market processes, not because they have decided to retain its independence from the market, but merely stating a fact of this independence, because it was not possible.

In the continuation of the theme I can tell you about quite accidentally recent opening for a painter. Covering with a friend on the Art Fair in New Manege (wanted to see Vladimir Yakovlev stated in the announcement of the fair, but it never found), have slowed liked the picture, then it is the second, third ..., Mistress galleries: Victor-Dynnikov. . -I do not know this, but like, and reminds the beloved Peter Dick brevity ... And it turns out, moreover, that he, too, from Vladimir, their mastesterskie door to door, friends (intuitively responded as he ran past). Why Dynnikov unknown, because mastitis "Vladimirskaya school" would not accept it in its ranks and gave no display (yes, Dick is actually not very fond of, as I understand it). Only Dick went looking for a new job B. Dynnikova, his supporters say, well, be himself. http://www.expo-88.ru/painters/dinnikov.shtml
  So please, almost unknown, not exhibited, not adopted, and work such that by not run, my opinion of course. Yes, according to this, of course, badly sold, the wife of \ two children, but continued to work as God in the soul laid. And many of his canvases bilateral: when he began to write in order not naravilos, then turned the host, made his, and the underside of the canvas is always better, converse and exhibited several works ...
  And now to the list of artists, close friends, some of which I would like to have for themselves, for the soul by adding another-they are now four (in general, they certainly larger, but very close, from the series "My Artist" - Four .. : p)
I'm very grateful hostess gallery for an acquaintance. In no case, do not do advertising and promotion, sincerely shared with you, as she is with me ... If the ads were ok and rectify.
The fact that I saw on the stand and in its catalog, a few interesting than the site

Thank you for your stories. Mediocrity so flooded that you do not know where I left the island. And as I find them? Maps that only the professionals and then only a narrow circle.
Once in the transfer interviewed some American industrialist, on the scale produced varieties of tomatoes, which are extremely good harvest and ripen at the same time and going through mechanized. I asked him: "But your tomatoes absolutely no taste, not afraid that they will not buy?" To which he replied: "Over time, consumers will forget the taste of tomatoes and other mine they would be like"

God forbid ... from such tomatoes at ARTpole

There is only one correct way to choose the artist (in terms of investment) - assessment of its contribution to the history of art. This is in spite of subjectivity - the most objective criterion of objectivity that recognizes the broadest possible range PROFESSIONALS, not involved in the art business (art historians, critics, etc.).
Everything else (especially on what can be influenced - exhibitions, regalia, and even find pictures in the collections) - all more or less manipulated by things that are intended for those who do not understand art, or not yet mature enough to hire a consultant art critic.
There is a book "Investing in Art" (the name can not remember exactly, sponsored the Deutsche Bank), there was an attempt to bring the scientific basis for this case. Read - there all chewed.

fross, with tomatoes funny and true.
I am not an ardent admirer of advertising washing powder comfort myself that this - for dull housewives. Find themselves in the shop, I catch myself thinking that in the head with a spinning only «Tide».
I think: "Behold, out of spite, I'll buy another!"
And no other.
