Продам: The legacy of Boris Kalaushina

[AlexSpb]

Yesterday, in another topic happened to mention the name of Boris Matveevich Kalaushina. Represent him, I think, is not necessary. His whole life dedicated to serving persons Russian avant-garde. Looking for a great deal you can find about him, but that's probably the most remarkable site:

Even those who are far from thinking of purchasing one for my collection, I recommend just reading about it - it is difficult to come off! However, his tomes dedicated Kulbin and Burliuk, had to hold in their hands, probably almost everyone.
His successors did not live in Russia and not come here very often, but when I last saw them, they said that they would not refuse to sell a large part of things. And the main thing is for them - not just to help out for this one particular amount, but also to make sure that things were in good hands, that is well-known museums, galleries and collections.
I'm not a hundred percent sure that is correct, this proposal laying out here, all we do is not empowered me, but I think that no one any harm that is not done. I'm convinced that on this forum a lot of serious professionals and consumers and is almost certain that if someone is seriously interested in this, the solution does not take much time.

Turning to the point. The hosts are no longer likely to engage with someone in the commission ratio, after lost for most of the free circulation of Burliuk and Kulbin and would like to sell all at once. It can go on about seventy canvas size 50-70-90cm (half - the 60s and the late period). Still, I think there are about five monumental - a meter and a half of things and not less than a hundred large (60x70) sheets of graphics on hard cardboard. On the site are many excellent photos, but I post here is that photographs of himself. It is easy to see that the early and late works, which I did, too - in half, do not differ in quality and expressiveness. The last two pictures - graphic sheets.

Like, everything. I think for a serious picture - a very sensible purchase. Things you can say, at the same time - interior and collection, and nice to work with, in the promotion (starting in any case), the artist does not need ... price is not scare!

As for me personally, it certainly would not refuse to make "labor penny", but for the fact that the spread is here, should be clear that not too much to hold onto this salary. I was fortunate enough to be familiar with Boris Matveyevich, a lot of talk with him in another topic posted yesterday his book with a dedication to me. So, if I could help his heirs to this sale, it will be on my side in some way a tribute to his memory.

It is hard for something new about it to add to what has been said and written, but remember, perhaps, his story how he came to the subject throughout his life. Usually all of these cases tell us about a fateful meeting. So, almost immediately after the war, along with other young students took a tour of the vaults of the Russian Museum. And in one of the small rooms where they went, along the walls were no less than fifteen (!) Canvases of Malevich. Leading a tour that has been said about them, everything went on in other rooms, but he continued to stand in a daze, unable to move, really, for the person stopped while ...
Boris Matveyevich himself liked to say: "The secret of avant-garde art is that it leaves no one indifferent!" This youthful indifferent to him and managed to carry through his life - remarkable in its entirety. As you know, - The beauty of life lies only in that each act in accordance with his nature and his or her case. (C)
