Hello from London, where after 2 days will start auctions of Russian art. Preview Sotheby's and Christie's has confirmed the tendency to reduce the overall level of the proposed collections. By and large, simply select nothing, no masterpieces , most notably against the adjacent rooms , where preparing for the June auction Impressionists and modern art. There, too , of course, is not what it was 10-15 years ago , but still met gorgeous Magritte, good Kandinsky, Jawlensky , and Chagall, Gauguin is very interesting , well, something else . A Sotheby's in Russian at the place of honor hangs Tselkov , he , of course , a good artist, but still ... In general , to buy , it seems, will soon be absolutely nothing.
But looked at two interesting exhibitions of outstanding terrible painter Lucian Freud , after all its naturalism, so to speak, is not for everyone , and an exhibition of Turner , which in the opinion of the curators has been demonstrated that it was heavily influenced by Claude , the statement , in my opinion , a controversial , but a good show .
