Is their artists work in Bugaev not sue?

Sued.

But other than "sued" there is also a) appeal the court's decision and b) the execution of the judgment.

February 4, 2014 Municipal Court in St. Petersburg Sergei Bugaev granted the recognition o him ownership of the paintings Oleg Bunny , Yevgeny Kozlov Oleg Maslov , Inal Savchenkova , although this claim has not been submitted to them within a month , which is set aside law to appeal against , and it was stated only day of the trial , 3 months after the decision of the court of first instance. In due month Bugaev was announced only a requirement to refuse to refund plaintiffs their works.

Reaction Bugaeva the court's decision : " The other side does not assholes ( obscene expression ) for a second. Washed goats, did not even realize where results agree . "
of The Art Newspaper Russia, 11. 02. 2014

The reaction of the artists:

Yevgeny Kozlov Sergei Bugaev has no moral right to own four paintings "New Artists" Oleg Bunny , Evgenij Kozlov , Oleg Maslov , Inal Savchenkova:

In the online newspaper " Telegraph " quoted the lawyer Sergei Bugaev Andrew Tyndik " Sergei Bugaev openly owned the paintings 20 years. All these years, " no claim to it was not , but now remembered the artists and their paintings began to show them their rights," - said the lawyer . "
Such openness was not, and claims were just . The fact that the paintings were " donated his -80 ", " work had been transferred to him as a gift ," we can not talk . I never gave away his paintings Sergei Bugaev , as well as he did not gave me his .
Back in 1989 , after graduating from New Artists exhibitions in Sweden and in Liverpool , I asked him where my paintings . He said he did not know. In late 1994, I was surprised to see my "Portrait of Timur Novikov with bony hands " in the German catalog for the exhibition "Selbstidentifikation", where it was used in the provenance of "coll. Sergej Bugaev /State Russ. Museum, St. Ptbg", t . joint collection is in Sergei Bugaev and the Russian Museum . At the exhibition opening in Berlin 3rd February 1995 Sergei Bugaev signed my statement , "I , Sergei Bugaev , do not own pictures Evgenij Kozlov " Portrait of Timur Novikov with Kostya . hands, " and have no complaints at this picture . " After such a precedent , of course, Sergei Bugaev my pictures " from his collection " did not exhibit .
New head of the department of the Russian Museum Mr. Alexander Borovsky I immediately informed of this fact , sent a copy of the signed document Sergei Bugaev . After graduating exhibition tour Alexander Borovsky and I decided together that the painting remains in the Russian Museum as a gift from the author. For this dual Russian Museum Endowment was complicated by the fact that before so I did not declare .

The last time I tried to get away from Sergei Bugaev answer to the question which of my paintings are still at it - written question 14. 03. 2012 - there was no answer , and only at the " ACCA " in May and June 2013 were initially shown 5 of my paintings from his store . One of them , "Portrait of George Guryanova " was printed in the catalog " Brushstroke " in 2010 , as I learned later, but at the exhibition " Brushstroke " she was not present . 4 other pictures too never exhibited . If Sergei Bugaev have a different opinion about this, let him show concrete examples.
In the aforementioned paper in a REGNUM lawyer Sergei Bugaev also states that " the paintings were transferred to 20 years ago Bugaev unknown artists ." In fact, my paintings for the exhibition «De Nya från Leningrad» 1988 Kulturhuset, Stockholm, chosen curator , director Kulturhuset Sissi Nilsson, based on photographs and Olof Magnus Danberga Thiel . It also identified a picture of my 1988 "Timur on horseback " for the catalog cover and poster for the exhibition. My picture "Star" in 1987 was used for the poster for the exhibition in Liverpool in 1989, The Bluecoat Gallery «Perestroika in the Avant Garde». Therefore, my paintings become " label " the first new international exhibitions of artists who organized Sissi Nilsson, Fredrik Vogel , Brian Biggs and several other Western curators. In this regard, the issue of the unknown artists remains open. Fredrik Vogel wrote me later that rude behavior Sergei Bugaev during exhibitions cast a shadow over the entire group of new artists and that after that he no longer wants to have anything to do with him .
I recall that I had still not achieved by Sergei Bugaev answer - exactly who and how much he was selling my artwork. Examples: painting " Commissioners" (canvas , mixed technique , 90 x 120 cm , 1982 /83 ) in Leningrad disappeared after one of the shows in the mid-1980s , according to George Guryanova : " I ​​saw the stretcher cut Bugaev this picture "and then I myself learned from Sergei Bugaev , he sold it ," a French diplomat ", and my question :" which ? "he said he did not know and left the money from the sale itself .
The exhibition «De Nya från Leningrad» he sold without my permission another picture - " smiling moon " ( oil on canvas, 220 x 220 cm, 1987 ) Swedish kollektsionershe Janet Bonnie . This was told me Fredrik Vogel in 1992, my question to Sergei Bugaev , for how much, he again said he did not remember and did not give the money back . At the same show , he gave my picture "USSR - USA» ( oil on canvas, 161 x 213 cm, 1987 ) Director Kulturhuset Sissi Nilsson (and why not his ?) . After learning that he is not eligible , she returned it to me kindly . Another picture of " Swimmers " (canvas , mixed technique , 150 x 180 cm, 1988 ) , again on his own initiative , he gave " some gallery owner ," as I wrote Sissi Nilsson - again what , he did not Sergei Bugaev remembered , and whether sold or gave , too, could not say.
Also reasons unknown to me missing a number of my other works of the 1980s , including the painting " Timur on Horseback ", similar in technique and size painting " Portrait of George Guryanova " subject of the current proceedings.
Sergei Bugaev now wants to create a museum based on paintings from the exhibition " ACCA . The latest generation of the Leningrad avant-garde . " Good idea to create a museum - in the event that the museum will not be called "ASSA" and "Museum of New Artists ." For New Artists slogan " ACCA " was only part of their culture , and the film "ASSA" emerged at the end of this cultural movement.
With the slogan "ASSA" Sergei Bugaev rearranges accents with the creativity of all new artists themselves , even " dorisovyvaet " film " The Beach" Viktor Tsoi , Oleg Kotelnikov and Andrei Medvedev ( 108 x 94 cm, oil on canvas, 1980 . ) With your signature ACCA and label for an exhibition in 2013
At the same time expresses his contempt for the artist Oleg Zaika , Yevgeny Kozlov Oleg Maslov , Inal Savchenkov : " It is the cry of some strange animals , small shakalchikov who want to attack the proud animal . I'm not offended . " He said. In fact, he was offended to such an extent that it is now ready to destroy our paintings , although they needed him in his alleged museum. The newspaper Metro on 6th February 2014 I read his quote : " To you to understand that I , as a creature of flesh and bones , after being poured on me negativity is nothing more reassuring than the desire to burn or throw acid these works , does not arise. " see here >>
In the history of art were people who poured acid pattern , and they tend to destroy the works of the great masters - Albrecht Durer , Rembrandt and Rubens. Thus our paintings will be awarded the same honor from Bugaev ? Let it first then decide for itself its position on the paintings Oleg Bunny , Yevgeny Kozlov Oleg Maslov , Inal Savchenkova before talking about the museum . Or respect the work of contemporary Russian artists or not.
And if he wants to be respected and artists for its plans and actions , it is necessary first to give them back their paintings, for which he has no moral right . Then and can ask them whether they want to participate in the museum project and are ready to pay any future museum of his works of art.
Now Sergei Bugaev in Russian spiritual process got into a silly situation . He has a desire to have someone else's artwork , and at the same time there is a desire to destroy them. On such a vivid example of the meaninglessness and kindergarten , I do it from the perspective of the museum do not expect . And if you do a "museum New Artists" professionally and with respect for those who will be presented there , the artists, musicians, poets, writers, directors, actors , critics will be able to think about their participation in it .

I think the matter will soon be on the international level , since Yevgeny Kozlov , for example, lives in Germany and hopefully will continue to seek justice , but with the help of European lawyers.

Bugaev reaction to the court's decision : " The other side does not assholes ( obscene expression ) for a second. Washed goats, did not even realize where results agree ».

Yes, they did not understand that the trustee Putin's Russia can steal with impunity .

Please remove administrator bestial saying Feda.
Let him at this level deals with Bugaev.

[Fed]

Lawyers Bugaev , won court artists , pointed to two circumstances :

"Artists carelessly treated their creations in the eighties . Bugaev later began to show his collection , including the largest museums in the country , who published catalogs of these exhibitions. Do not know about them artists could not . For this reason, demand for the return of paintings limitation period elementary missed.

The second circumstance . During the Soviet artistic underground all Turnover works based on verbal agreements . Therefore , if the court decides to return the paintings artists , it will endanger the existence of all the collections of "unofficial " art. »

Sergei Bugaev : " With me being a big media war . It is a pity that she joined and artists , my former friends ...
This is pure self-praise . "
