Sensation, which is so lacking in place in London auction of Russian art finally accomplished. At the auction, MacDougall `s new record on the painting of Russian artist Nicholas Feshina - his painting" Little Cowboy "sold for £ 6,9 млн unknown Russian buyer.

The auction of Russian art MacDougall `s held on the last day of the Week Russian auctions. Week has been fairly stable, showing a reasonable desire of buyers to pay as little as possible: none of the subjects did not overcome the boundary of £ 1 million, although at a Christie `s with Sotheby` s, and several works by Bonhams came close. Week clearly lacked any sensation - a fierce battle for the beautiful, record and tumultuous applause. And MacDougall `s done it.
At the auction, MacDougall `s focused most expensive Russian painting, with the estimate of £ 400 thousand, £ 500 thousand and above. The highest estimate of the week was also in the catalog MacDougall `s -« View on Valaam Island, "by Ivan Shishkin, valued at the sum of £ 900 thousand to £ 1,2 million a difficult situation for the auction: the last before bidding showed that Russian collectors do not seek, as before, toss money.
Painting Feshina Nicholas "Little Cowboy" was estimated at £ 500-700 thousand, it was written in 1940, when the artist worked in the U.S. and has become famous for his portraits, relaxed and vibrant. A boy in jeans and a ragged hat keeps the cause in hand, he sits seems on the box, but obviously fancies himself galloping across the steppe. Haggling for this fabric flared between the two "telephone" customers. One tube was holding the head of auction house Catherine McDougall, her client was hot, and sometimes would add just under half a million. The second tube was in the hands of the St. Petersburg-Moscow gallerist, the source of which was more reasonable and would add a little - he won the hammer hit on the sum of £ 5,8 million aggregate amount was crazy £ 6,9 million, were made with Nicholas Feshina one of the most expensive Russian artists. This is the main record of all current Russian week.
Art Nicholas Feshina got into the orbit of the interests of Russian buyers are not so long ago, but in America it is true love and devotion for the special ease and brilliance that can be called a real maestro. Prices for this artist already reached $ 1 million, but then at the auctions in the U.S.. Incidentally, this "Little Cowboy" six months ago was sold at a small New York auction of William Doyle for € 500 thousand
According to a preliminary report, the auction house, the five top lots sold: "Blue Fountain" Pavel Kuznetsov (£ 464 thousand), "Moonlit Night on the Dnieper River," by Ivan Aivazovsky, is not sold at auction and immediately after (£ 477 thousand), " Homecoming "by Ilya Repin (£ 822 thousand)," View of the island of Valaam "by Ivan Shishkin (£ 1,8 million) and" Little Cowboy "Nicholas Feshina (£ 6,9 million) brought together £ 13,9 million, there is a general, not to count all the result of trading (even attending an auction of contemporary art, the icons in front) will be at least £ 15 million

" Little Cowboy "sold for £ 6,9 млн unknown Russian buyer.

This sensation is not under a no logical basis. This shot is the reason for the price of some coincidences in this auction and will not seriously change the pricing of Feshina. Two weeks ago in New York was sold to a portrait of his daughter Feshina for only some 332 thousand dollars.
Such an example can serve as a case in April at Sotheby's NY to work Chelishchev - Portrait of Ruth Ford - 986 thousand dollars. On that day there were more impressive work Chelishchev, but it was some coincidence of circumstances, plus the excitement led to this shot. But in general, to raise prices Chelishchev it does not appear. I think we should wait to premature standing ovation.

And both, or rather just as the first skillfully took advantage of the second, and will now be elegantly referred to as "coincidence"

but we - the bread will need to be supplemented rating

Vladimir, and can wait a little bit with the rating? Maybe something will happen and after some time to get information is in error, a misunderstanding or the client did not understand the agent and refused to pay, etc? A year later, the same work will be offered the same, but with the estimate 900t -1.3 million pounds, and all would seem that it's not expensive. After all, with one phone in the hands of Catherine herself was, as with others, as I understand, an agent for someone. (This may be all hocus-pocus).
Maybe it's better to wait, as explained by this fact intelligence collector or art lover is not possible. (In May this year in NY, this work is the evaluation of 200-300 thousand dollars, went for $ 632,500 yesterday for $ 11,040,000, ie 17.46 times more!)
