Yeah, thanks for the scans - I have no scanner
Even there is a very curious picture of their kitchen - says a lot about people, I think.
For me personally, their collection of furniture and interior items (watches, Stennikov, lighting, etc.) is considered the standard of the published or when we have private collections of furniture. Yes, and I do not recall that we published the private collections of furniture. All just Hermitage publications and other museum collections.

Here's the kitchen I also really like the way that is intimate in it there (talking about the interior) but a good taste yourself how I remember all restored. I remember that somewhere read an interview with one of the brothers, so he told him that due to extreme caution both of them they managed to avoid the looting of the valiant of our bodies that we know are fighting and working. It mentioned that many other friends, collectors are not so lucky as them.

At the same enthusiasm here is not going away!
Brothers that had hypnosis?
And all the things the hosts gave themselves?

Do not go away, but initially may not have been a penny, and financial infusions from the candle factory their father not occur in the completion of the collection. Of course, they parted with two or three less powerful things for the sake of a stronger, but this collection was created from the ground bit by bit without funding _IZ VNE_. The fact that they were selling something for the sake of buying the more powerful things with time, I certainly do not argue, but is not being bought on the shoulders sable fur coats, cars and people in gorazhi they were rich only in his collection. But, my dear uriart, I hope, there is clearly visible difference between this collection and collections of Abramovich, Vekselberg and the owner of a network of pharmacies. Therefore, it is in the Russian Museum.

Yes, who during the war was a possibility and no conscience, my meat for gold, diamonds, antiques, paintings. So, too, formed collection. Although it is difficult now to say something about conscience. I would myself in those days any treasure handed over a piece of bread.

Sovereshenno true, but not only during the war. After the war, a very long time people had, excuse me, nothing to eat for very long. Just before the 70th years.

The question is debating whether they were rich or poor. Rockefeller also was not being consumed in fur coats and cars. In general, he went on foot, because the petrol expensive. From the memoirs of his daughter - she remembered that everyone was talking about their bessmetnyh riches, and she never saw any cash or checks, or expensive clothes or jewelry - nothing. Asceticism was terrible. Slept on kkih some iron beds.
I think it would be correct to say that they are all rich, only one preferred to prosper in his - that the Rockefeller Foundation plant, then for the collector - a picture. And the same passion, and the same forward movement.
On the same basis we can and Rockefeller to name the poor - the benefits of civilization, he did not enjoy, he lived accumulation kapitalla.

Typically a gray business collections, finance is not the main factor in creating first-class collections.

And what criteria should meet world-class collection?

[talavira]

Is here in my collection of my grandfather A.N.Yar-Kravchenko. My mother and I want to sell part of it. Who will tell that? Help, please.

[Евгений]

talavira, There is a section of buy /sell only write there.

[Кирилл Сызранский]

talavira, and it is better to create your own theme in the section artists.
There you will tell about his grandfather, the artist A. N. Yar-Kravchenko. Give his biography, show a number of famous works, list the museums that store their work, etc.
And after that we can expose something in the section For Sale.
Do not rush you so.
