And, note, each of them the same way as in our time, sought to marry.

  )) It is not every, not flatter yourself. This is not a polite statement. However, gender issues are not going to raise.

the best woman of Paris (very much), he was a wealthy man.

Again, you want to speak about parallels "the best female wealth", but I will not. From Lautrec was so, but I think that not only makes it possible for his wealth (..... and money do not save), and makes it possible for his genius and unique, he was very educated, sharp-witted man.

fross, but can you make a collection of collages? Many great masters of them engaged and involved (let's not talk about the first Russian avant-garde), and the sixties, and our foreign countries. In my opinion, very interesting.
Fastened to something, but so far no time may come soon ...

Psychiatrists should at ourselves more critically to see.

You will not believe, but I know for sure that the theme of one of the theses on mental health last year was "Psihicheshie disease doctors psychiatrists"

The word "insane" has different meanings. If we talk about serious mental illness, it seems strange to try to calculate the percentage of those crazy among geniuses. No one comes after the idea to count how many geniuses were dark, for example, and on this basis, waiting only on the dark-haired genius.
Statistically correct to assume the percentage of geniuses among the crazy and compare with the percentage of geniuses among not crazy. I have not seen such statistics.
But the prevailing impression necessarily mad genius - came up losers in order to justify their mediocrity.

OOo, I do not agree totally! I know a lot of people are very talented (very!), Which, however, completely normal. Yes I do this: D (which there really shy: D).

Begins to form a new collection of not too extensive (not quite exact definition but still ...) the choice to date - the last talent, it seems to me a little boring. Especially without the huge capital. Much strongly attracts, captures and inspires the search for new and genuine talent. Moreover - to create entirely new collection, to be able to get a lot of pleasant emotions - because the process of searching quite captures, expands the horizons of spiritual perfection.
  Communicating with the artist and the understanding of his attitude is like looking at the world of strange eyes, savoring the different views, contrasting beliefs and manifestations of creativity and insight into it - I think it is wonderful.
  If the collector is the sense of taste, the ability not to miss the talent, the property to look at the desired object from different positions - he gets more than decent collection but if he does not expect its scope - that is to start the search of people who will help him in this difficult but beautiful process.

In this case we can speak only a personal meeting, pursue only aesthetic purposes, oformitelstkie, taste. Investment potential of such a meeting will not have - guess "uncut diamonds was" practically impossible.

Volodya, that you seriously think that the Shchukin and Morozov, Chudnovsky and Kostaki Talochkin and Nutovich, Rusanov Ershov bought work
a) based on the ratings - which then - perhaps fortunately - and there was
b) already thinking about how to sell and get a good welded?

Not long ago, Igor Sanovich - a collection which is a very large amount of money - said to me (we were talking about one artist, whose paintings he had not): "Maybe I'm mistaken, the most important thing and did not notice ...". The important word here is "I".

The tendency to portfolio investments in works of art in the West, a fairly recent phenomenon, previously purchased by collectors and fans of the picture, either because they like them, or - as in the history of Riabouchinsky, which I have already written - they felt the significance of the artist, and to reassure people who still operate in this manner, it should be noted that the assembly of these collectors, not feared the risk of acquired quite an incredible value

No, of course, I do not think so. By the way, the company names are very heterogeneous. Not all of these were visionaries, able to go on Izmaylovo fair to go out with a masterpiece. Besides, it came from vastly different wealth (Riabushinskii and Talochkin) and different motivations (Morozov and Costacis). A number of them were quite up to the investment component of light bulbs - for them it was pure enterteynment. They could have the same money with gypsies absent from or pictures to buy. Rational person behave in this way can not afford. It can not go on the market a wide nonsense, armed with the logic of "like-dislike. Quickly burned and all disappointed. And just as a decoration to buy - but for God's sake, why not. I've been walking when Binding in Izmailovo - 90%of orders - posters of movie stars, souvenir "Impressionists" and tapestries framed as if from the Louvre. I like people and good
And our job - to give good advice. One and the same amount a person can spend on the heels of young artists and greyhounds or one good Vechtomov. So it's better buys Vechtomov, they should at least know about this option, rather than posing as "Shchukin. Shchukin, remember, had no more such visionary inspiration after emigration. If I do not confuse

Abramovich, by the way, can also pozvodit a feed hundreds of young artists, of whom probably grow Basquiat, Haring and Tracey Emin. But why buy something artists with proven investment potential. Can Shchukin - this is the next level?

And, sorry, our grandchildren will also be pleased if my grandfather bought things right, and not just an apartment decorated. Suppose that you personally value is not important, but think something should be There is a golden rule that must be acquired by a thing like. I think the idea is not buzuprechna. Is important that she liked more children and grandchildren. So grow up - I will be sure to follow the tastes, not to wonder why the young like Hirst

That's right, I just tried to show that these people of different times, different social layers, different income and different characters united by one thing - they were buying art, which believed.

You raise several issues.
First of all, why, saying "for decoration", you are sending Circadian BP rhythm as potential buyers of art in Izmailovo (I was not there with the famous exhibition in the open air, 74-year, but I think that this is Moscow's equivalent of today's Montmartre?)?
Is everyone likes a souvenir Impressionists, or tapestries, or monstrous kitsch Montmartre - well, sort of hung out in the neighborhood "Russian Klimt? Is this fatal? But what about the grandchildren, who like Hirst? Hirst something - today and tomorrow's many - in Izmailovo not find for him to go to the major galleries.

Then, who will seek out tomorrow Vechtomov? Somebody started to buy them, quote did not come from the air. I think this is where the benefit of your enlightened councils would be difficult to overestimate.

Of all the collectors, like those about whom I know from books or hearsay, and those with whom they know personally, Felix Vishnevsky was the only one who resumed collecting activities, after he had taken away his collection. I think psychologically it is very clear. If I do not confuse

I would have turned your remark a slightly different way: just let Abramovich buys. I have absolutely nothing against him I do not have, but the fact that from him not fail even if he can not bail out of the picture had bought paid mad money
In some of the articles translated by me saying that modern art always overestimated in relation to the old, and the meaning of utterances was that should not be afraid to buy the actual art on a very prices.
Even then I asked the question: what happens at a time when contemporary art ceases to be a modern and - continue the logic - is old? Jasper Johns is worth more Rubens - in my opinion, this madness, but it does not matter. What will happen when there were dozens, hundreds of new Jones (which you collectors, incidentally, missed buying a reliable Vechtomov)? The question remains open. In my opinion, buy already fully promoted artists at the maximum price - a very risky operation that should be left Abramovich

What do you mean, the value is unimportant? Rauschenberg once worth $ 100 - when he paid a taxi driver his job. Hopefully, the grandchildren of a taxi driver for his grandfather did not complain: p
Between the material value of paintings and pleasure that you feel from it, there is no antinomy, even though there is no automatic matching. You can buy cheaply now, which is very pleased - and give their grandchildren the opportunity to buy a mansion on Rublovka.
Can be expensive to buy, hoping to resell more expensive - and lose the last pants.
This is where all our hopes on you - you prisovetuete how to spend their money wisely and pleasure.
