, I think, if it goes to start, although it seems to me that it will remain unsold.

Not so simple, the work still huge in size ... and an old, and already with a history of .. well, a ridiculous price ..

[Artdealer]

in that time and again that first it is of enormous size, and secondly with the scandal. is not good for art.

[Евгений]

This contrast is good and the size and scandals, the engines of trade, money to spend on advertising do not have .. of course I exaggerate, but not something terrible has happened ... my opinion this work should definitely buy ... (if still attribution is confirmed).

..... Painting "View of the Kremlin," the authorship of which house Sotheby's previously attributed to Ilya Glazunov, the London auction of Russian painting, scheduled for June 10, 2007, has not been removed, but the attribution changed: now the signature of the catalog states that "Russian School . XX Century ", Interfax reported. The work is estimated at 8.12 thousand pounds sterling (16-24 thousand dollars). .......

Ghastly. Why? The political decision or a legal reassurance?

Indeed write so that Sotheby's has changed attribution http://echo.msk.ru/news/519199-echo.html Frankly, I thought about Sotheby's better, still was occupied by the principal position, and here is "acting out" situation. Does anyone understand what is happening?

Understand the difficult position of the house Sotheby's, probably reinsured ..

Perhaps they fear that Glazunov in retaliation will waive all of his works sold at Sotheby's. I do not know how many they sold over the past 5 years (so it seems, is the warranty on the authenticity of the auction?), But if sales were Glazunov, the buyers will bear these pictures back - and every court recognizes them right (If the author himself not confirm the authenticity). Well, and other pictures Glazunov then sell at Sotheby's will not suffer - there are profits. So the quarrel with Glazunov, Sotheby's, perhaps, not with his hands.

I think everything is easier. Glazunov - pretty heavy piece of "art management" of Russia. We have seen recently what efforts are making Western auction houses and galleries, trying to "master" of the Russian buyer. So the decision was simply not communicate, it's like Heller: It is better to be unlikely, but could be worse.

[Vladimir]

Mozheno was probably just a change of attribution and publish photos Glazunov against the backdrop of paintings by an unknown artist of XX century. To save face, if the game in hand, but do not want to communicate. And then chegeda some oddities: a collection of Vishnevskaya withdraw, then Faberge, the attribution relieved the pressure of scandal ...

qwerty, Heller is correct? http://www.bolero.ru/books/978536700...s=хеллер

Vladimir, is the wrong Heller. They made a new translation, which, in my opinion, significantly inferior to the previous one. Correct was issued in the 75th.
