Yesterday was the reception at Christie, were treated to vodka and black bread and herring, and vodka was poured in only one corner, and herring, as well as champagne, resounded through the halls of all, foreigners are not very aware of what it is and eating herring champagne. There were also fried dumplings, which suggested prick thin stick type toothpicks, then maknut in sour cream and drag in the mouth. As a result, the middle half of the evening guests smearing cream, in general, the impression that the organizers of the reception of all the forces trying to cheer up the people that, to some extent, they succeeded in these sad times.

Yes, the crisis is clearly evident, if treated to vodka and herring (representing the English herring and champagne, and tried to think about the Russian as they can eat such filth), and ikorochkoy champagne was little treat? (A caviar shop just around the corner from Christie's) : shy:, dumplings and fried, well, they are mixed with a Chinese dish ... the same way at the exhibition "From Russia with Love" in the restaurant was "a Russian menu, but how little there was of Russian, probably as they imagine our food (not soup, and gruel and cabbage, and instead of pancakes with caviar, some cheap red caviar and blini pancakes not ......)

He returned to the reception of Sotheby's. People were nemereno, again surprisingly, many foreigners. At this time, only drink, food was not - a crisis, apparently. People are confused mood, in general concurs, that if we manage to sell 40%of lots, it will be the success of the auction. Most looks pessimestichnee, predicting 20%. Talked with the leadership of Sotheby's, both the London and New York - say that at the next auction prices will be substantially reduced, would have done it now, but this collection were composed in the summer, while the situation was different, much better. In this case all agree that it is time collector, in the near future, the market should appear great work on more than be acceptable prices, and what we hope

It would be ideal if you have sold 85 per cent, even the lower estimeytu. This would mean that art is above the crisis, and the sweet heart, our passion with you is still viable, and brings not only moral satisfaction. But this, as would say Sukhov - unlikely. Although I am sure, when the crisis starts to decline, the first thing that will be restored - this is art.

I think that McDougall will fail, too, she devoured and high prices set, abnormal, even for the pre-crisis period. Yes and the buyers to her reluctant for many reasons, go ...

The auction ends Bonems. The miracle did not happen, sold just over 30%of lots, most below the lower estimeyta. Among the works discussed at this branch, not bought either Exter, nor Archipenko. The most expensive lot sold was the "Winter" Goncharova - 125 thousand pounds, of course, in earlier times, no money for such work, exactly one year ago would have left a million, and even Pobol. The most "successful" was lot 103 (Tselkov), sold in 2 times higher than the lower estimeyta. In general, all expected, as was expected 10 days ago. An hour later, Sotheby's begins the evening, I'll write about the results closer to midnight in Moscow.

Sotheby's ended - Evening. Very cool, sold 60 per cent, no one, including oranizatorov, did not expect Sotheby's executives simply shone with happiness, and all present were happy with - live, however. Of surprises: lot 7 Polenov - 900 000 pounds (upper estimeyt - 350 000). I talked to people, no one could answer my question "Why is it Polenov" - yes, great, great job, but Polenova nothing like that has occurred, and yet - the result! Not able to sell Lot 8 - Aivazovsky, enormous size, no serious doubt, the commercial convulsions, and - after all, strange ... Lot 18 - Anisfeld - 400 000 pounds, with an upper estimeyte 250 000; strictly speaking, nothing special, Anisfeld, and Anisfeld, but then, someone stuck at the last cabin in the antiques were two Elysium Anisfeld an order of magnitude better and 4 times cheaper and, like, not bought ... Lot 20 - Roerich, well, here met 2 fighter - at the bottom estimeyte 250 000 and they ran to catch up with the result 950 000 (!!!), Respect. Gobbled dubious lots 29 and 30 (Bukhteev and Gudiashvili), still not all the people still reading this site, but in vain. Again, the abnormality: two men fight for Lot 32 (Yakovlev, 600 000 pounds), in the absence of the struggle for a much more attractive Lot 33 of the same author (120 000 pounds). Absolutely no nudity Larionov goes for 1.2 million pounds, and, perhaps, the most thing masterpiece auction - Lot 46 Chupyatov (the authorship of a particular conversation) - collects only 210 000 pounds. Analysis time - ahead, but give up, it was the most successful auction in the week. Tomorrow - continued.
