In London, an exhibition of Alexander Rodchenko and his entourage "at the end of the exhibition the collection will be sold out (audio)

In the London gallery "ART Sensus" an exhibition of Alexander Rodchenko and his circle "(until March 19). Photos of Russian avant-garde of the first wave - 200 works very Rodchenko, as well as about 750 shots Granovsky, Friedland, Chaldea - at the end of the exhibition will be sold. They all belong to the British Foundation "Tosca", which announced its closing.
This collection might well go home photographers, said in an interview with Voice of Russia "Moscow collector Vladimir Frolov:" Five years ago the fund "Tosca" created twenty owners. They collected a rather large collection of photographs - more than five thousands of different, not only Russian. invested in the collection to the passage of time to sell it and earn money. In this case, the idea was to offer this collection, at least in its Russian part, the St. Petersburg Hermitage Museum. and they offer even went looking for investors . But investors did not find to buy this collection, that it was in Russia - The Hermitage. Well, money is needed to return! "And the owners of the fund decided to exhibit and sell the collection."

started from London. But strangely enough, says collector Frolov, that the fund "Tosca" is not put at least part of the collection in Russia, as do the well-known auction houses, regularly arranging a pre-auction exhibition in Moscow. Perhaps it is still included in the plans, suggests Vladimir Frolov, since Russia already has people who are willing to consider photography as a collectible as an area for investment ..

"In Russia, a fund including the investment in the photograph, - said Vladimir Frolov. - And that's a normal situation, as well as throughout the world. In the last couple of years there has been, I would say, a serious qualitative jump. Photography is becoming one of the most important arts, many people - including prominent political figures - are addicted to photography, shoot yourself. For example, Russian President Dmitry Medvedev. "

But returning to the Photo Gallery Russian avant-garde artists, collect funds "Tosca", Vladimir Frolov, expressed some hope ...
"In fact, this collection is not worth the money too crazy - the expert believes. - The ideal option would be to purchase it, if not the Hermitage, the Moscow Museum of Photography. It's a brilliant museum space is absolutely world class."
In addition, Vladimir Frolov asserts that "there are good collections in Russia, where these authors - Rodchenko, and all others present in good amount, represented by the works of good quality. Therefore, the worry that Russia is somehow deprived of, not worth it." But to lose a real opportunity to return to Russia that it was created by geniuses, too, probably should not.

Philosophic question. Forms of self- greatest set . Trends in photography - also swamped entire net results and magazine racks . And only a few can make art . Another thing is that with the appropriate submission, for example, so you can submit a photo, too, it will pull on the subject of art. There are many options .
