But how can I hide it?!

AS there is something you can hide?
If a person is not drunk, not drugged or in a coma?

Here are all the same questions and wonder.

"The plaintiff made a very loud, bold and weighty statement on overpayment and that impairs the plaintiff himself. The fact that the painting was sold to Peter the Great Ivan Aivazovsky, bonfire at Krasnaya Gorka to signal their perishing ships was the largest painting in the private hands in the U.S.. The size of the picture - 195 cm by 294 cm, is nearly 2 meters by 3 meters. I personally would like to have two such Aivazovsky today instead of one "Little Cowboy" Feshina. The picture was very rare , a significant and prominent and was acquired in Russia in 1930 at the American Embassy. "
 
 In addition, I was told by Oleg Tsi might add that the work in question - "Seascape with Peter the Great", on a postcard of the nineteenth - early twentieth century is titled "The Tempest". In vivo biographer, Ivan Aivazovsky - NN Kuzmin, a monograph in 1901, the work is referred to as "Peter the Great in the Finnish archipelago, feeding into the storm signals are floating fleet." Paint a picture in 1899 - 1900 GG and exhibited shortly before his death - in early March 1900 exhibition was held in St. Petersburg on the Fontanka, the house of Count Olsufyeva. Dokazatelsvom peculiar fact that this work was painted by Ivan Aivazovsky, may serve as a picture, where the artist is photographed at the moment working on this product.

painted in 1899 - 1900 GG and exhibited shortly before his death - in early March 1900 exhibition was held in St. Petersburg on the Fontanka, the house of Count Olsufyeva. Dokazatelsvom peculiar fact that this work was painted by Ivan Aivazovsky, may serve as a picture, where the artist is photographed at the moment working on this piece.

Thank you, Nicholas Levenko, for important information. Yes, that's the picture, which is today the debate, was written in 1899. There are at least two films with similar plots, but the two earliest, written in 1846. One of them is in the timing and got there from the Marble Palace, where there was a meeting of the patron and admirer of creativity Aivazovsky Grand Duke Konstantin Nikolayevich. The second work, which is regarded as a sketch in GHM Belarus in Minsk. She got there in 1960 from the collection of the singer L. Ruslanova.
There is a solid assumption that in 1926, this painting was kept in the Central Museum Fund, Moscow, which have been gathered works of art for future sales in international auctions. As I mentioned earlier, in 1930, this painting was acquired and exported to the U.S..
This story only increases the cost of this rare film.

Now back to the phrase from the message Pavel a:

Сообщение от Pavel; 1697701"

In 1994, the picture size 60x80 cost an average of 100, etc.

If we apply simple math to determine the cost of one square centimeter area I.K.Ay. painting, it turns out that in 1994 it was as follows:

$ 100,000: 60 cm: 80 cm=$ 20.83 per 1 sq. km. see

Applying this to the work under discussion, would be:

$ 20.83 x 194 cm x 295 cm = $ 1,192,100.

This is in 1994 when, in your statement, the price of paintings by Aivazovsky were not high, discussed painting was worth 1.192 million dollars!
This is in 1994. But the deal took place in 2007 when the Russian art was one of the most promising forms of investment. Still have to take into account rare pictures, a real historical event depicted in the painting, and huge size of the history of the acquisition. You can contrast, argued that the picture is undervalued.
So your example, Pavel, it just reaffirmed the fact that even in 1994, this pattern would be higher than claimed in the suit by Arthur Properties 800 thousand.

On the history of the painting " Seascape with Peter the Great " in 1899 can add a little touch. Also in 1899 Aivazovsky painted "The Tempest" ( 40h58 ), which most likely was a sketch of the aforementioned tracks. By studying carefully a little wizard, pointed out that the right of the picture visible figure of Peter the Great and two people , provoking a fire. The outlines of the figures of Peter Peter repeats the same figure in the painting in 1846 . It is also bent right arm , pull the left . And similar figures of people around the campfire. Later figures were recorded, but through the mist of sea foam shapes can be considered.

Nicholas , I was personally surprised your knowledge on the subject Aivazovsky . You do this professionally or is it a hobby ?

Ukraine, R Ivan Aivazovsky - it's my passion . About 30 years compile a catalog of works by Aivazovsky . At present catalog contains 3000 names , almost never in doubt in authorship. Complicate the work on a catalog of the numerous forgeries , with a sad regularity appear in auctions. Working with " autographed " by Aivazovsky , but clearly do not belong to the great master of the brush are included in a list so that in future they do not interfere with the compilation of the core list .

Dear Nicholas, thank you for your comments were very instructive.
I asked you a question in another topic, but you did not answer .. may respond here ... Are you going to publish your catalog, comments and observations?

ABC, Dear ABC, I'm sorry that you did not answer immediately. Now, in fact. The issue with the publication of the directory is still open. There are several reasons. First and foremost - the work on the catalog continues. With the advent of the Internet in our lives, it stepped up and I want to fully take advantage of it. Part of the pictures in a directory known to the pre-revolutionary publications, and black and white postcards, published prior to 1917. Currently, the Internet sometimes "gives" color illustrations relatively good quality, which improves a number of illustrations. Amended and the text.
The second reason - financial. The third - the issue of implementation. Feodosiya - a small town, and this publication may be of interest except that SAG name Ivan Aivazovsky. Thus, at this point the electronic version is more suitable for me.
By the way, thanks to Oleg Tsi I saw the image in a color picture of "Peter the Great in the Finnish archipelago ...", for which many thanks to him.
With this pattern is related an interesting story. As I reported, the painting was exhibited in St. Petersburg at the exhibition in March 1900. April 19, Aivazovsky was gone. Bequest seascapes, all of which are in the gallery after his death passed to the city. Work with the St. Petersburg exhibition back to Feodosia and the day of death of the artist were on the road. Among them was and the picture of Peter. The city administration believed that the pictures came back from the exhibition will go to the city. Relatives also felt that the city got what was on the day of death in the Gallery and the rest has no rights. What ended litigation is unknown. But since the death of the artist, this work did not pass through the list of bequests, city paintings, we can assume that won the relatives. The subsequent fate of this product for many years remained unknown.

this publication may be of interest unless the SAG named Ivan Aivazovsky

Consider that I am the first who would interested in your work and publication.

[ABC]

Well in that case, I am the second >

Seriously , I think that the catalog would have been very successful and you would not have problems with its implementation .. antiquarians took Would it for yourself, as in Kiev, Moscow and St. Petersburg and other places .. say that the first print run of 1,000 copies sold out to fast, half a year at most , people would find themselves you via the Internet, this forum could be a small website, with all the data for payment and other things. You could have just put it on this site as an alibi for half a year 's membership in them is worth 420 rubles . Another possible is another way , if you arrange everything in the pdf file , it can be spread through the network, but in this case, you can either negotiate with the company adobe, so she did an online security, or material spread quickly online and you lose a lot of potential customers ..

In general, I think your work will pay off , and publish and distribute such information to > After the first run , you can always release another , additions and improvements .

Hopefully we will wait for it , good luck to you !
