Money enormous, but on the other side to Malevich little. Given that this market will be gone. However, in otsporennom legal heirs have included more "Footballer" very strong. On the other hand, Rothko, which is not in short supply retails for $ 72 million, Picasso also tents for $ 103 million ... Against this background, the result of Malevich below expectations.

Price auction suspiciously coincided with a guaranteed, so there podozenie that Malevich did not return destiny. So unlikely Abramovich, the more so because of his condition now, and so intense interest, to make gestures to anything.
