There is an opinion ..

Excuse me, Santa, and in the above passage, you have a lot of nonsense. For example:

Сообщение от Santa; 1802703"

in the United States historically has developed a very special situation. This country simply does not have his history of art.

What is interesting, is absurd opinion is based? Probably only on the fact that America as a country is relatively young. But do not nobody say that America has no history? Has yet which one. The same with American art, which, of course, has a quite remarkable story, being studied at universities and presented at national museums the world level.

A little more and the authors agree to the fact that they would deny the story of a European art, arguing that it is younger than the Chinese.

Until the second half of the twentieth-century American art is deeply provincial

Nonsense! Suffice it to recall the Whistler, which is influenced not only by Russian artists of the turn of 19-20 centuries. But even some of the Impressionists such as Monet and Degas. You can also recall an art school by Henry and "eight" (so-called "School of bins"), which really does not reproach of provincialism, the more profound!

For example, Mark Rothko painting sold for more than $ 76 million - is the canvas as the canvas, the upper half is painted yellow and green paint, and the bottom - a dirty-violet , if they wanted to be called painting.

Well, it's all funny! > > >

Santa, of course, fun to read and with this view, yet the level of the text, to put it mildly, smallish ... Sorry if offended

a great finale

Why final?
I wrote that there is an opinion ... I agree with this opinion .
You understand - no ..
This is normal - to have each his own opinion.
Debate is meaningless - the truth is not born here .
Hear the views of any ( easy ) and stay at his - also a result >

However, neither Russia nor the European market can not be equated with American , because America historically has developed a very special situation . This country simply had no history of art .

Yeah, we compare the Russian market with the U.S. is impossible. >

$ 16,480,626 for "candle" by Gerhard Richter

Apparently, the skepticism Richter now only intensify >

The Friday auction of Contemporary Art Christie's: unexpected triumph

... The loudest of the evening began with a lot of the catalog cover - "Candle" by Gerhard Richter (Gerhard Richter), 1982. This item has been "made" the public, and eventually reached a record for the artist price 10,457,250 pounds (16,480,626 dollars) (est. £ 6-9 millions).

By a happy home for the auction and has provided work for auction the Scandinavian collector coincidence, a retrospective of Richter's taking place now in the Tate Modern: her work is represented like Richter, however, according to Artinfo, inferior quality sold on Friday at Christie's. According to Francis Utreda, Richter has created a total of 27 paintings depicting the candle, three of which were lost, seven are in museums, others - in private collections. There are 12 paintings depicting a single candle, and this work, where a white candle, lit by standing on the ground, carefully shaded with red, according to a specialist, aroused great interest.

Record of the "Spark" has eclipsed the previous record Richter paintings on the same subject: "Candle" in 1983 was sold at auction at Sotheby's London in February 2008 to 7.9725 million pounds (15,843,600 dollars).

Interestingly, as noted by observant publisher Josh Baer (Josh Baer), the current record-holder was included in the trading of the New York Online VIP Fair last February: the Copenhagen-Beijing if the dealer Ground Jens (Jens Faurschou) offered her even more optimistic price of EUR 15 million. Minced meat was sitting at the last auction in the first row, he confirmed that the owner put up a masterpiece on the Richter current bid for his advice.

Utred Francis, who took over the phone the final winning bid on the work of Richter, refused to tell, in which the edge will go work, but noted that "it will have a beautiful house." This record, writes Artinfo, let the whole market a sigh of relief and hope.

And in Russia, pulled his pants , dildo show , and here's a prize for innovation in the arts. In Kolomna , Moscow region , an exhibition A.Drozdova looked, had not videl.Ne ah, but pleasant work . Truth looked and thought , it really looks familiar , and from under the canvas and thaw Nemensky crawl , Valid worked under brethren. In Kolomna at a price no one could not tell.
