Money loves art (calmly, it's just a title!)

Vladimir, this is my personal opinion. If not mistaken, this is it for 3 million sold? so much to. I do not like and Koons and Murakami, and their great art, too, some say. And the world's museums shove.

The genius of the topic. The ability to estimate age of one frame. Its strength and its flaw. Apotheosis of the era of consumption. The challenge of a great artist (no matter zhivoppistsa or photo) - is to find a thin string, instead of in the work of the entire world.

Completely agree. just pictures of such a plan, reflecting the era, will be valued and after 10 and 20 years later. For example, Eugene Atget - French photographer, the camera picked up when he was 30-40 years, photographing the streets of Paris, the ordinary life around, seemingly uncomplicated plots. BUT it is now valued his photo - because the life which he depicts in the film, no more. the world changes, progress and all that, only he had pictures of old Paris late 19 - early 20 century,

Returning to Gursky it is important to add that work was very decorative. Look at those colors, on this scale, this textures - all merging, becomes the essence of abstraction. In general, too much coincidence, that thing is the gained artistic value. Of course, Gursky was lucky that it was noticed that the work has received such a high sound. But someone had to get lucky?

about the scale - it should be noted that this is not a single frame. The scale achieved by combination of photographs taken from different angles (with a slight digression). No such large-format lens, so you can remove SO. This is a kind of collage, of good quality and good design.

Interesting. Not know. Surely technology has not yet come so far? Here, it turns out, the final chord of Technology to the outstanding artistic design.

Yes, the first picture emerging from this milestone. 1.7 million pounds in 2007

What can technology and has reached, there is the same lens Fish-ai (fish eye) distort space. but here we see that not a single frame. So when you look at this picture does not "run view, difficult to cover all at once. if you look at it "live" you should give it back to catch the whole picture (because of the large size) and come closer to look at the details.

I was once at an exhibition of the artist by the name of Jeff Wall (Jeff Wall), which is also, I believe, makes similar "collages. That is, a few photos collected in one. Very interesting.
Perhaps here about him someone already wrote, if I repeat, I apologize in advance. I like the fact that at first glance he has the usual photos, but then you notice that they are very strange.
not know how to spread photos, so give the link

Incidentally, the last picture, if I'm not mistaken, this mertvetsyyyy ... horror

Possibility for events museums sit with us. For example in St. Petersburg available for rent including the State Museum-Reserve Peterhof http://www.tour-m.spb.ru/conference_hall_peterhoff.php.

With regard to Peterhof, just yesterday I had a friend, he works in the Hermitage, so he said that the Peterhof from the state does not receive a single penny subsidies, and that the director - a very big boy, carried out an excellent restoration and supports all in excellent condition -- and all this at the museum earned money. Recently, after a long struggle they gave Oranienbaum, who was in desolation, and now it is hoped that soon they all will shine

Generally, talent administrator to head the museum - it is extremely important. Director of the Russian Museum, Gusev - also the real owner, it is impossible to overstate what he does for his museum.

dMozhno and photograph the effects of the attack on Tskhinvali - the era is not one frame: double standards, excessive cruelty, pressledovanie personal interests ignoring other people's lives and opinions of the population, the loss of any moral principles, the terrible consequences of acts of one man, and t . e. Such examples can think of plenty of ...

I thought of Lee Miller, after the war, it's nothing more rented, all in comparison with the military pictures seemed empty and shallow.
Especially for you a portrait of Lee Miller of your favorite Picasso's famous photo of Hitler in the bathtub.
