Baturin believes that the federal competition to win it on her project, but the tenants and owners of the building until the plans Baturina do not know.
CHA idle since 1999

Central House of Artist takes 2.5 hectares to the Crimean Val across the river from the most prestigious and expensive district of Moscow, received the informal name "Golden Mile", the cost of apartments which comes to several million dollars. The building itself Fairgrounds area of 60 thousand square meters. m was built in 1979, 60%of the building occupied by the Tretyakov Gallery and is in federal jurisdiction Rosimushchestvo, 40%- the alliance of artists, and the land beneath it belongs to the city.

They began "to sharpen a tooth" to this unique complex is in 1999 In 2001, the Moscow Architecture Committee even held a contest on the concept of renovation and the entire Crimean embankment, but this action was entirely illustrative, as the building of the CHA is a federal, not city administered.
Inteko shifted the project off the ground

But now it seems the reconstruction headway. At the Cannes MIPIM exhibition industry Inteko company submitted its draft renovation of CHA. When the wife of Moscow's mayor and owner of the company Elena Baturin told Kommersant: "Most likely, the concept will be selected at the competition, in which we will participate with our project."

Nevertheless, none of the official agencies related to the building or the architecture of Moscow or the federal level, nor about the competition, nor about the project Baturina do not know. All in one voice say that voiced Baturina plans yet exist only in the form of its plans, and any documents or concepts at the state level, no.

However, as the newspaper Vedomosti, citing a senior official of the Government of Moscow, Inteko discussed the project at the level of federal ministries, as close to the Inteko source says that the project is already consistent with the Federal Property Management Agency and the Ministry of Economic Development. Interestingly, in an interview with radio station Business FM itself Elena Baturin said that "now considered the idea of reconstruction of the Central House of Artist". But a draft of the company she calls in an interview while only "architectural concept."

The struggle is worth the candle

Implementation of the project, and if he will still be implemented, according to officials and experts, will be very, very difficult, both administratively and from a technical point of view. First, it is necessary to make appropriate changes in the urban development plan, justifying the need for reconstruction through demolition. You then need to hold a competition and negotiate with the owners of the building.

Then at the time of construction will need to carry and to provide temporary shelter for the vast storerooms of the Tretyakov Gallery. In addition, the company will have to convince the public that the complex, which in addition to the museum to appear more and the hotel and residential apartments, meet the needs of the city.

Nevertheless, the struggle is worth the candle. Under the proposed project Baturina, the new building should have a area of 80 thousand square meters. m. Even if the current owners will get when moving them belonging to 60 thousand feet, then the developer will have 20 thousand square meters. m. The square meter of apartments in this area may reach $ 25 thousand

That is Inteko be able to gain from the sale of real estate up to $ 500 million in the same time, investment in the project are estimated by experts at $ 400-480 million According to market players, the construction may be needed at least $ 350 million In this case, as it says " Vedomosti, the expertise level of Foster's are about $ 100 per square meter of the designed building, so that the project Inteko could now invest up to $ 10 million

Moreover, as stated Baturin Business FM, she believes that Inteko can implement this project independently without the help of other investors.

where to relocate all the gallery?

Only Baturin knows ..

[Meister]

assure that it is on "apchih" deep bell ... it would be for themselves galleries. Undoubtedly, CHA has been a Mecca of art in Moscow, as at the beginning of the end of 19 century, this was in Paris Street Lafitte, and then, in the early 20 th century, it became a street of La Boesi where resettled most of the leading galleries of the time ... And went through an amazing reason: one seller of modern painting, Jos Hessel, wanted to settle down in the street Laffite, after leaving their original location on the street opera, but could not find in the garden painting for a place. He had to look elsewhere, and in the end he took shop in the street of La Boesi. Because the case he went successfully, there is gradually moved his other colleagues, and the street is La Boesi became what was once a street Laffite - market painting. In his memoirs, Ambroise Vollar (one of the largest, if not the most significant, a trader Impressionists late 19 early 20 th century) wrote of Lafitte Street: "If someone said:" I'll go down the street Laffite, it could have no doubt that dealing with an amateur painting. Similarly, when Manet said: "It should go into the street Laffite" - or, conversely, Claude Monet inquired, "Why go to the street Lafitte?" is meant that the artist seeks or considers it unnecessary to keep abreast of What do his colleagues. "

I think Moscow also lacks a street or a place. Even the current CHA, with its dozens of galleries, can not fully rightfully be called a full-fledged market painting. The emergence of this art market would help not only the rise of interest in the antiques world, but also its development and regulation of processes occurring on it.

Meister, Under the Red Square, make a large shopping complex in the plans they provided a major auction houses, art galleries, etc., but probably for mere mortals.

[Meister]

something I doubt that there will be something normal ...

[Евгений]

Meister, That's what the conversation .. http://www.kremlyovsky.ru/reconstr.html

[Meister]

not so delivered from the article about the gallery-series ...

[Евгений]

Meister, on the basis of this complex will be created by "Russian auction house" (the scheme SodBi), a few elite art salons (applied art, unique drag.ukrasheniya, rare antiques), diamond Exchange, hotel, entertainment complex and t.d.Vo chapter - (see link).

[Meister]

Well OK, that I saw ... but the normal art market there are not words ... The gallery is nowhere yet devatyas after the demolition of the CHA. These art-salons will sell jewelry, furniture, arts, crafts and some little-known older artists. As for the auction house is still more fog. Replacement Sotheby's to create weak. something like Gelos appear? And the Kremlin is not the place where such a logical place.
