From the author

Reference is made to a survey conducted among the biggest collectors of Russian and Western art, as well as on the basis of analysis of expert opinions on cultural values, issued in recent years. One of the main objectives guide - highlight the names of those experts whose opinions most authoritatively in the examination of Russian and Western European art, product firm of Carl Faberge and other Russian jewelry companies, Russian iconography.

Who needs this directory of experts? It may seem that the names of Russian expert organizations, and names of all known. However, for the young collector or investor can be difficult to understand the intricacies of the functioning of an expert system in Russia.
The existing legislation was not ready, under the name of "expert" to meet the wonder of unprofessional and sometimes dishonest combinators of art that very quickly, "prompt" more inexperienced collectors, how to become the owner of "masterpiece" with a whole bunch of expert opinions, in fact, very doubtful .

Its position on expertise and the important role of the catalog fakes "(first raise the topic of questionable works of art in the Russian market), expressed Pyotr Aven, a well-known collector, has one of the largest and most expensive priced collections of Russian art:" It is known that works of art before fake, this is not news, but what is happening now goes beyond all bounds ". His full interview on this subject is placed in the third part of the "Catalogue of forgery." Sawa Yamschikov, chairman of the Association of Restorers of Russia, has repeatedly spoken on this subject: "What we have going on in the affairs of expertise, it is as they say, will not find it! The most experienced art historian,
expert has the right to make mistakes. We can all make mistakes and wrong, but when it is done for the money, it's cynicism, commensurate with our times, when everything is permitted ". I can not but note that it Yamschikov Sawa was one of the first with whom I discussed the idea of "Directory of Experts": from the very beginning has actively supported the publication of the Catalogue of forgery ", aimed at combating the counterfeiting of art history.

"Catalogue of fakes" (which was released in 5 parts) brought to fruition. As an example, it suffices to mention painting supposedly Boris Kustodiev "Naked in the interior, which was published the first number in the fifth part of the catalog fakes" (sold in Russian auction Christie `s titled" Odalisque "for $ 2.9 million). In the "Catalogue of fakes" painting was accompanied by findings of Russian experts who reject the authorship Kustodiev.

Recently, I asked the owner of the paintings, whether he returned the money to the auction - it turned out that the money had not yet returned, and the buyer himself embroiled in a multi-year correspondence with lawyers and the auction was forced to submit to the auction house in court. No wonder that in such circumstances, financial investors circumvent the art market party.

It is therefore offer you a directory of experts as a logical continuation of the Catalogue of fraud "seems to me very relevant and useful for the Russian antiques market.

Thanks to everyone who helped with information and advice in the Repertory.

Somehow in this list are no specialists of the Russian Museum. Although such a name as Rimsky-Korsakov, it should be.
No Vendelshteyn T., I. Rustamova ... While pleased that no names of well-known experts with a controversial reputation.
From the "Graphics" I would have removed the second surname. But this is more personal.

[Тихая Сапа]

In my opinion seriously on this directory is not.

The full effect that the author of losses among the antiquities market, dragged first got the information from the Internet and slabal pamphlet to remain in the information field. This is evidenced by the absence in the list of the St. Petersburg school, and all other regions ... a lot of strange gaps or crafts or else ... (Paraphrasing the skit "funny guys") What is this book? Yes, anything!

Sergey - master of the genre .... intrigued .... well he has it "personal" has occurred.
