Black Square

As you know, one of the branches of the heirs of Malevich lived in Kuibyshev/Samara, and in their apartment also kept the artist's works, including the fourth "Black square" (1930-1932). About how this part of the heritage was in the collection of Inkombank, in an interview with "Itogi" magazine (1999) told the art critic Georgy Nikich:

1993 In the office of the Director General of the Moscow international ART fairs-the MYTH... the phone rang. The girl who introduced himself as the Secretary of the head of the Samara branch of Inkombank, said that the Bank offered to buy a few icons and a picture of an artist, now she will look at the name... and, here, the artist Malevich, called “Black square”. Since it was turned on loud speaker, everyone in the room laughed. Just in case we asked him to send photos. After some time from Samara came a few small purple-green photos icons. “Incident” seemed to be exhausted... But in a week the phone rang again. This time called the head of the Samara branch of Inkombank Mr. Leiko. He persistently asked us to come and quite plausibly described some side branch of the family Malevich, whose representatives live in Samara. The story was so convincing that we decided to go. At the meeting the head of the Samara branch of the Bank said: “We agreed with this guy. He had to bring "Black square" yesterday, but today will bring, literally in an hour." Hour and a half to two really had a young man in his twenties with a small, sports suit, cap, and with a large sports bag. His tardiness, he explained that he wanted to buy some fishing line and on the way went to the store. Then he unzipped his bag and pulled out a wrapped in a cloth “Black square”... Mr. Leiko... managed to convince the guy to leave the work deposited in Inkombank. Before leaving, we recommended to send a “Square” for examination to the Tretyakov gallery. ...Next time we came to Samara in a few months. The procedure of buying “Black box” has already taken place. I think it's been issued as an interest-free loan in the amount of $ 250,000. In addition to “Square” the relatives offered to the Bank two late paintings by Malevich, which were purchased for very little money — about $ 10,000. In 1995 “the Black square” went to Bonn to the famous exhibition “Europe, Europe”. It was then promulgated insurance price — 3 million marks.
