However, in everything - from the name of the exhibition and to the hall where the show paintings sold Anatoly Bekkermanom Russian museums and collectors - the profession of art dealer , or marshal, or an art dealer , presented to an exceptionally worthy . " Link, without which there is no art world " at the opening of a figure called the dealer and gallerist Marina Lochak , director of the Pushkin Museum . A Special Presidential Representative for International Cultural Cooperation Mikhail Shvydkoi said that now, when intermuseum relations between Russia and the U.S. are frozen, only individuals can help fill this gap.

Being an art dealer , especially Russian art, whose prices are rising exponentially difficult. Anatoly Beckerman , for example, a couple of years has been in litigation with a private collector , questioned the value and authenticity of paintings sold to him by the dealer ( the parties came to a mutual agreement ) . However, to collect a decent collection of art gallery owner without the help , now, perhaps, impossible. This - how to sell art and need whether art dealer artists and collectors - the subject of numerous citations that top as a frieze , crowned with paintings in the exhibition . And it was too good they are. " Great artists create great dealers " ( Daniel-Henry Kahnweiler , an art dealer ); "Art - is a product that has no obvious need . Seller creates a need in the mind of the buyer" ( Jack White , artist) , " The money that the buyer pays the artist , are a form of guarantee that the artwork does not fall into the wrong hands " ( Milos Vyuyasinovich , artist) ; " I do not have a consultant. Ability to make the decision himself - the only guarantee against the outrageous fashions in art, so prevalent today " ( Duncan Phillips , collector ) .
