A half sold .* * works on Sovkome.my again uvidem.No At least they kept the price for the species.

Argue with you, but at the same time answer Alene (#40)
I will not attempt to draw parallels, which begs the title of the auction, but in the USSR, I remember, prices are kept at all and struggled until the last .... What end?

What I called a symptom - it is, in my opinion, prices inflated claims of the auction (for a long time picking up words). What I called Price's claims, is irrelevant to the assessment works. In assessing Sovkom clearly focused on worldwide sales, and perhaps this is good and right. The problem is that the starting price is assigned to the minimum boundary evaluation (if there is no correspondence lots), and sometimes increases before bidding. And with the high launch not get the audience to warm up and eventually no one in the auction and does not enter.
Moreover, there is also a factor in the image: it is one thing - work to buy a million of Sotheby's or Christie's (example), and another thing - on Sovkome. The desire of the auction to position themselves at the highest international level - is understandable, but should take some time to be gained certain reputation to become the desired real ...
Latest auction - a clear proof of that: minor works were bought, mostly at the starting price.
With regard to non-conformists (the majority of works were sold the commission), I believe that sellers simply suffered from this policy of the auction: a withdrawal from the auction lot is always damaging "the reputation of work, regardless of how it valued Sovkom or anyone else.

This is a confirmation of the authenticity of the work of the son NM Romadina - Mikhail Nikolayevich Romadin, also a remarkable artist. In fact, after these words work, and bought.
