Сообщение от Eugene

According to preliminary calculations, the total sales of 14 ART Moscow amounted to 4.465 million euros

Take a look at the bare mathematics.
4.465 million euro roughly equal to $ 6,000,000, if we take the average price of $ 20,000 paintings, it turns out that sold about 300 paintings.
Judging by the catalog had 36 participants. According to my observations at each stand was an average of around 10 paintings. Somewhere more somewhere smaller. And then it turns out that sold 100%.
Correct me if I am mistaken.

Konstantin, but on the basis of what made announcement about sales?
It's one thing for the declaration of income, and another thing-for advertising. For advertising and 200%can be sold.
And what a mystery shoppers? no name ... it can be understood when it comes to 100 million, but about 10-30 thousand? naturally boast good flavor-an, not, buyers, murky secret ... no interviews ..

Can "fix" prices, and sales of such not?. And such is no novelty art objects do not carry. Is the sketch can blindly five Uzbeks and five matreshechnikov. Why was 300 thousand to pay? It would be better to orphanages or to buy at that kind of money ... Well, honestly?

If someone is thinking about children's homes or even the desirability, the event would not be called Art Moscow, and the Art .. elsewhere.

And the prices - not above the western events.

This is the forum artinvestment participant asks a question

That's it, ask!
Because I'm competent, as an artist, I can say that THIS is not an art object worth 300 thousand.
This is not an adequate price.
For example, you buy a car Renault Megane for 300.000 Euro?

Because I'm competent, as an artist, I can say that THIS is not an art object is 300 000.

It's a bad argument. Creativity is measured not in man or linear meters of paint.
If someone bought - then worth it. Another thing that you doubt that fact. I do not know the price of this artist, let prompt knowledgeable.
But even if it is an object and actually sold for money, this is only the equivalent of 15 paintings. A sold by my math 300, well, subtract and you get 285.

And why "300 thousand at. E."?

Why "300 thousand have. E."?

And probably resold it to each other in the cabin, well and got the desired turn. "As the old joke:

In the town came a rich tourist. Leaving a pledge of $ 100 the owner of the hotel, he went to see the hotel room. Innkeeper, do not hesitate a moment, takes a dollar bill and run with it to the butcher to give back.
Butcher, with notes in hand, runs to the farmer and gives him a debt for beef. The farmer pays the debt holder garage. The owner of the workshop is directed to the local store and paid the debt for the products. Shopkeeper ran to a local girl on maintenance, which because of the crisis "serves" him in debt ... The girl immediately ran to the innkeeper and gave him the duty of the rooms that she rented to customers. At this point, back down the tourist and says he does not find a suitable room, takes a pledge and leaves.
Nobody got nothing, but the whole town is now living with no debt and is optimistic about the future .
