Well, right - with money, what's going on. And not only here in Russia.

but once they realized that the art - it is their only chance to survive

It seems so!

In the second session of yesterday's surprise three Sotheby's sale.
1. Over 277 thousand pounds (at the bottom estimeyte 200 000, ie, in a serious struggle) was sold to a mediocre painting of the South African artist Irma Stern, the most striking fact in the biography which had been acquainted in his youth with Franz Marc.
2. Over 61 000 (at start of 8000!) Was sold to work 19-year Magritte, which is absolutely nothing like the Master's hand, which is naturally due to age.
3. Someone desperately needed a portrait of Mao Bufe, needed so much that he did not regret to pay 97000 pounds at the start two times lower.
It seems, indeed, the auction had a lot of novice investors who think that no serious collectors or experienced artdilery in the battle for these masterpieces did not participate.

in yet another confirmation - current bidding works on paper at the Christie, the majority of work goes with a double excess of the upper esteytmenta in futnah. Perhaps that esteytment was understated, but have not yet looked at the stats Artprice
true figures such as Dali, Mathis went to the top esteytmentu

Star auction Emil Nolde and his fantastic watercolor, 4 of his landscape watercolors crossed over 200 000 euros each, including buyer premium,
and thanks to the pound, though more correct to evaluate the results of the London auction will be in euros

Yes, the Impressionists sold well - it is still possible to understand. But in order to snap up 25 lots of 27 evening auction at Sotheby's contemporary art - that's for sure, no one expected, even his admirers hot and desperate optimists. Not only sell the remaining Liechtenstein and skull Zan Huang, and total 17 879 250 pounds.
The joy of such a successful past auction darkens only a presentiment of some impending financial disaster which apparently someone already knows.

I assure you no one knows anything. No expert in spring 2008 had predicted the price of oil fall, it will fall down from $ 150 up to $ 30. On the contrary all toldychili about $ 200 and above. And come to mind Penza barman in a cave, too, knew about the end of the world in May. I'm still impressed with the children and asked how about this? I said that intelligent books written that this era will last 300 000 years and was only 5000, so that at least 295 000 years at the end of the world can not sweating. He added that the shop clerks, Penza, very disappointed in May. And he did. But buyers of paintings in any event will not be disappointed. And the fellows.

The journal Art Magazine Arcadja write that:

.. Two simple ingredients: works of very interesting aesthetic sophistication and presentation of the works with much lower estimates with respect to the past years ...

(Two reasons: good interesting work and a low estimate)
