What is interesting in contemporary Russian photography?

[Vladimir]

I feel that the issues diletanskie, but what can you do:

1. What practice has been to control the circulation? Who is responsible and who are trusted, that corresponds to the photographic edition statement?

2. Are there any methods for determining the authenticity of photos? Can the experts at determining what to them later copy?

Summing all: what to ask intelligent questions to the seller and any guarantees require the purchase?

1. At present, the relative guarantee of control of circulation photographs may be a contract drawn up between the photographer and gallery. It indicates the circulation of the photos, and must be accompanied by a control image.
If the contract is not - then no guarantees.
And even if there is agreement - then again, no guarantees: (
as the author can print as many pictures as you like. If you have a contract, he certainly has validity, but poprobyte yet to find evidence.
2. The authenticity of photographs can be defined on paper (paper yellow with age), you can conduct examination and determine whether the image is made in those years or so later printing. But on the other hand image could be printed on old paper or specially for the aged (vehicle is not on the spot).
In this case, the figure behind the film, as well as a digital print no guarantee, but with a gelatin silver print (gelatin silver print) - is another matter, it is possible to establish authenticity.
An important factor in determining the authenticity of another is the presence of the author's signature on the back of the photograph. With this signature picture is greatly increased in price.
3. Gallery probably need to ask questions about the contract, the existence of a legal successor (who may, for example, to print copies).
The main thing I think about these things - honesty. For example, Alexander Lavrentiev (grandson of the heir of Alexander Rodchenko, photographer) prints images from his negatives. I called it right: the original negative of such a year, a modern print of a certain year.
As part of a collection of old photos - Expert Gallery Lumiere, and sales of modern - gallery Fotoloft at Winzavod.
