Why not take a second Kustodiev?

   we had to share at Kustodiev, buy one, the second for half price or "two in one"

More than all - 97500 - Komar and Melamid, to estimate 100-150 thousand is not overstretched.

In the morning went to Sotheby's contemporary art sold very poorly. The hall was about thirty people, that they were doing there did not understand, bought mainly by telephone and infrequently. When strapping Faibisovich sold for 55,000 audience groaned (if I remember correctly, a year ago, the same Faibisovich went on much more expensive). Well, actually, about the risks of investing in contemporary art at this forum already said enough.
At Christie same people turned out to be surprisingly much more surprised that this wretched collection rather shustro sold. So at the very beginning was struck by two soldiers, who grappled for absolutely no pictures Zichy (№ 2, it is not even bawdry he loved to paint!), Catching up with the price starting from £ 400 to 17 000! Then again, everything suddenly began to fight for miniature Pohitonova, and although it is not the madness that prevailed a year ago, but estimeyty were exceeded by 5-6 times. Then all of a few ustakanilos, a masterpiece Shuhaeva fought only two, but caught up with the price up to 580 000 to launch in 200 000. Album, which asked Alain, found only willing, but in general all - far above expectations.

Igor Markin always very reluctant to part with the paintings from his collection. "From 1200 bought the paintings I have sold so far, three things" - he said the project "snob". But the crisis has seriously affected the construction business Igor Markin, and so he decided to put their pictures on the "Russian Week" auction Sotheby's. Among the 109 lots of the catalog - four paintings from the museum collection Markina Art4.ru.

For sale collector chosen work, leave that he was sorry: "All of these paintings in the collection are duplicated many times. I sell a single sheet of Lyons (of my 140 pages of his graphic), one Pivovarova, one Nesterov, an exhibit of early Veisberg, that is, pictures that I do not believe that it is for its collection. "

Exhibiting his paintings is at Sotheby's, Markin counts at the same time "test" the auction house: "For me it is important to look at ... ut they are me or not, I will not get extra money. All art dealers, and especially antiques, - barygi. Behind them are found peccadilloes - that VAT will not be returned, then the percentage of some withdraw for something. It is important to understand how this system works, and then I in which case I can on the picture in six months to sell and the money to live. "

This founder of the museum Art4.ru still hopes for a better scenario: the peak of the crisis had passed for him, and in autumn he will return to replenish the collection. At auctions in London, he plans to bail out about 150 thousand pounds.
