vyadem, so Fraerman and not sell the remaining.
Could not find the fans of his work?
Or work was questionable?

[vyadem]

uriart, I think more ...
Few people are familiar with this period of creativity Frayerman, and Fraerman, so much happened, not many people know ... But above all, the buyer is considering buying as an investment, especially now ...
But the work is very powerful and stoyuschaya! There or not such money is not going to judge ... because sales Frayerman not met.

We are behind all this is really missed the sensational market: "The lost legacy of Grand Duchess Maria Pavlovna." Basically, there estimate: in excess of 15-30 times !!!!!!!!! some earrings estimate: 3 thousand pounds were sold for 101 thousand pounds !!!!!!!!!!

Who cares, this is a link to the results (it should look only in comparison with the estimate: http://www.sothebys.com/app/live/lot...t_id=159551889

Agree, very good is not bought because they are often heard, few people know. Well done!

Called the colleague from London and said that the schedule is just an unfortunate and was the main cause of poor results "spectacular" trades (AOR November). Bidding trinkets began at 5: PM, and pictures at 7: PM. Trades were superimposed on each other. Yes, and "Heat" can not be permanent.

The main culprit was a collection of very weak, so weak was ten years, probably. This applies to other auction houses. Indirectly, this can be seen even in our forum: remember what the discussion around these trades have unfolded before us. And it is simply nothing to say, some outstanding things like Exter only emphasize environmental mediocrity.

The main cause of poor outcome was very poor collection ...

This is what we said at the beginning of this topic. This reason is certainly important, but this can not be helped. As with the crisis. It is even more general reason. It's rock! And precisely because the crisis and a weak selection had to be with special care to set an auction!
