Not exactly.
Some auctions a month and do not hold, and some up to six months. But so that a few years ... Only large. And then - Christie's, for example, after the auction removes all lots not sold. Bonams, have sold, removes estimate. Or remove the picture.

Somewhere about six months ago at one event, I listened to the report of D. Lukashin. And one of the items was a statement - Evaluation.
I specially stayed to listen and all wondering how they can do? If they do not sell yourself every day, how can they know the current market price, I asked myself questions. Yes, and in the galleries, too, as a rule, there is a specialization of artists and those who traffic in the French probably do not know the price of Socialist Realism. And then evaluate everything. The answer was simple - offer Artprays or our base - and that's all, and rightly so. Moreover, I have seen the lists of large collections of paintings with prices and postscript at the end of this site Artinvestment.ru.

There billyuten Gazette de Drouot auction where the results are printed all over France. This billyuten I think there is a library with them. I have a few of 1994.Eto not archive?
