Ten tips from Valeria Dudakova ..
1. Buy only what you like and listen to your intuition.
2. Never buy the work only because it is expensive.
3. Get eyes, not ears. Worst collector - "pig eyes."
4. Bringing up their eyes to the unconditional standard. Explore the subject of his collecting as much as possible: to collect books, directories, memoirs. Avoid fabrications, but do not condemn them in another meeting.
5. Artistic value and cost of items often do not coincide. Not concede curiosities because prelstitelnoy prices: they are priceless.
6. Not yield to short-term conditions. Know how to evaluate prospects. Pay more expensive than other, it is very rewarding.
7. Do not be greedy, let's work on the exhibition, to be published. This will bring additional benefits and will make good collector's glory.
8. It contains his collection in good order: it will pay triple.
9. Try to buy even a paltry work favorite author.
10. Measure of the quality of the collection are the best and the worst thing. Get rid of the worst, raises the bar top. The main value of the collection - its wholeness.

Collector just that and says that this is normal - some fall collections, there are others. He was concerned about the fate of those two dozen things that are truly "museum level" - the best things artists (first and foremost, Blue Roses), they are not represented well in any museum. That this would indeed be a pity if "rastaschat.

Over its short history gallery "New Hermitage" in Spiridonovka

Yes, it generally is about 15 years worked
And, incidentally, where Valeri has opened his new gallery? Going to, like, somewhere around Michurinsky Avenue. He was there a small apartment.

The museum is more interested in cash for a particular show than in the collections, and in fact in this case referred to the transfer of work for at least $ 50 million. I did not particularly waiting for compensation, I want to keep the collection in the integrity of that work are not sold separately. My wife and I are trying to sort through to keep the best of what collected. The only option - to transfer the state museums. Any collector will sooner or later thinks, for what was all his years of labor. You yourself are desperately needed - is understandable. It is your passion, your hobby, your life is, well, a little business that they hide. But what's left something in the end? That same rastaschat as collections Geltzer, Ruslanova, Myasnikov, Blokhina, Smolyannikova - or still remain as a memory of you and the assembled period? Good thing, if things will move on to other collections - like the old assembly went in his time with us, then young collectors. But experience shows that most of the things being smuggled abroad. I am not opposed to the Russian art spread all over the world, on the contrary, it would be only for the better, but the question is in another - what values we are losing, and where will the best

For me - it is the most interesting part "conversation." How to dispose of collected rarities? Question is not idle for the serious collector, really conscious that the things people are experiencing - and the creator and sobiratelya.Reshenie in each, individual case depends on a combination of those or other circumstances. I think it must satisfy:
- Collector's ambitions, with a clear awareness of they future of the collection
- The satisfaction of his material and a certain number of persons (if any).
It is necessary to discard any unnecessary posturing and rhetoric.
