All right, he said. Russian buying Russian, and mostly collectors. Invested now few. There has recently tried to start a dispute who is steeper - Nesterov or Brodsky is in their paintings at auction investitsionnnaya appeal. Those pictures of them, both good and they buy, but not for investment. Collectors will buy. And I think that Brodsky for the first time surpass the price Nesterov.

An interesting interview .. like all of the case said.

[Vladimir]

In conversation feeling that the narrator does not like the word investor. Probably seemed like a speculator in the peak of the pure collector, do not think about the fate of spent. In that spirit, that the most successful investments are obtained from buyers who did not build on the calculation of their acquisitions, and bought for the soul.
Are these buyers in fact prevail in the auction?

[Konstantin]

caught off guard, go examples do not remember, but repeated sales is actually quite a lot. This is clearly seen in the database of artists ARTinvestment.RU, where such transactions are tracked. Masterpieces are resold at auction less, and the price range of 50-200 thousand dollars re-selling is not uncommon.

AT: Well, there are such examples, but very few of them.

I attended the interview and that his thoughts and then did not agree and now. It is clear that it bought for tens of millions can not return to the market quickly. But the examples of growth with 10 - 20 tons up to $ 100 - $ 200 so for the next 5-6 years a lot.

That's like my favorite Lanskoy

in 2006 - 120 tons. $, And in 2009 - 167 477 USD

In the art business is a word, he is right, rarely used when discussing the auctions, sales, purchases ..

Exactly the opposite .. if he (the buyer) are not well versed in the topic, there is usually mass Experts .. soul in second place.

Konstantin,
Cunning this Tiesenhausen! States that " re-evaluation destroys the market, which all of usfeeding", neglecting to say that "underestimating" the same them all feeds, only slightly less satisfying.

[Vladimir]

I remember a moment where he talked about Klever

AI: What requirements must meet the work to be placed in the catalog of Christie's?

AT: The auctioneer can not afford to be stupid. Therefore, the bidding takes what is for sale. But do not forget about another factor. If thoughtful view catalogs of different auction houses, we can understand the preferences of their Russian departments. For example, some people like to include in the catalog of the clover. But I can not bear clover and try his paintings do not work. If offered a good Luba or Shuhaeva - then you are welcome. Of course, one must be pragmatic and not make decisions only from their taste preferences. Also one must look where the market is going, and take this into account in the work.

I remember in the sense that the personal tastes auctioneer influence the formation of the catalog. Do not like it - do not take it. Conditionally, if you do not like the sixties, or academics, or aktualschiki, then bidding them not to be ...

Just the fashion work Klever passed.
But in the 80's and 90's, and a little further, so very bad Clover sold.
And it can be seen as statements and artprays and ARTNeT.
Already too much clover similar to each other's work. These red sunsets and snow.
