Antique lives in Ukraine: the collection, antique houses, invest

[Евгений]

Boasts the most profitable investments are collectors, who began collecting antique paintings of domestic artists (Ukraine) had 5-10 years ago. Rise in prices is impressive. If in the middle of the 90 canvases by 1950-1970. Nicholas Hlushchenko or Sergei Shishko can be bought for $ 1-5 thousand, but now the account goes to dozens, even hundreds of thousands of dollars. Moreover, despite high prices, demand for the work of these artists are not falling.

Demand as contemporaries Glushchenko and bumps - Adalbert Erdelyi and Tatiana Yablonskaya. Popular and masters of an earlier period: Alexander Murashko, Nicholas Pimonenko, Sergei Vasilkovsky, Sergei Svetoslavsky, but find their work much harder. The latest trend - the representatives of the Carpathian school Andrei Kotzk, Ivan Trush, Fedor Manaylo, Joseph Bokshay, Anton Kassai. Their work in the market is still a lot, but they are rapidly becoming more expensive.

is the most expensive domestic artists are representatives of the vanguard of the early twentieth century, Victor Palma Vasyl Yermilov and Alexander Bogomazov. Their paintings are selling well and at foreign auctions. Also great demand of Ukrainian sculptor Alexander Archipenko, who had lived most of his life in exile. Prices for his works reach $ 300-500 thousand in the West, but increasingly the work of all Ukrainians are buying their compatriots, or their nearest neighbors.

In Ukraine, an ancient art in general is worth three to four times more expensive than in Europe. But at the same time assess the volume of domestic antique market, none of his players just is not taken. "Approximately 200-300 million dollars" - refers to a possible figure of Alexander Bray, founder of the salon "Antique Center". However, all calculations in the field of antiques are approximate, because none of the sellers of antiquity does not advertise its most successful deals, and their customers prefer not particularly shine. "We can not assess what is not legal. And we, unfortunately, the antique market at 99%is in the underground "- categorical co-owner of the gallery" Estamp "Victor Fedchishin.

The main reason - the imperfection of the legislation. For example, when importing antiquities collector in the Ukraine had to pay half of its value as VAT and duty exemptions. Nevertheless, even such an unfavorable system does not stop many local millionaires. And in the near future, confident antiquarians, the situation will change for the better.

   Alexander Bray

Founder of the salon and antique auction house, Antik-Center ", the expert" All my conscious life is connected with the art "- recognized as the founder of one of the oldest Ukrainian antique shops Antik-Center" Alexander Bray. In 1974, the 20-year-old Alexander in the world of collectors of ancient art introduced his uncle, the collector still Soviet quenching. "He has a house going to other collectors, poets and writers. Going into this circle, I love art. Before that I was, and speculators, and who yet was not, and this hobby saved me ", - confessed one of the most experienced local antique dealers.

Passion at first simply allowed to fill their free time and make interesting acquaintances. Engineer on the first education, Mr. Bray in parallel with the main activity has collected a good collection of paintings of the Silver Age - from the masters of the World of Art "to the artists of" Jack of Diamonds ".

Then the hobby turned into work. "I began to organize exhibitions, has worked with museums including the Museum of the History of Kiev, has traveled the Union and met with many collectors," - says an antiquary.

This business case has become a favorite in 1991, simultaneously with the proclamation of independence of Ukraine. In the 93-m in the "Antique-Center" held in Kiev, the first auction. "It was a sensation. We gathered the old collectors, art historians, the first business "- describes the activities of its initiator, that time has received more and artistic education.

Today Antik-Center "- is the auction house, exhibition center and salon. "We have an antique shop, which sells furniture, bronzes, porcelain, there is a separate store of Soviet art and the exhibition hall of exhibitions and auctions," - depicts a broad profile of its business, Mr. Bray.

And in the future to narrow the scope of an art dealer no plans. After all, interest in the ancient art among local collectors is growing, and high-quality, pedigree, as they are called Mr. Bray, objects become smaller. Trust as collectors can only kingpins in this market, and "Antique Center" - one of them.

"All the best works in private collections - from my cabin, - the antique dealer, no less confidently stating: - Everyone who works in this market - or my students, or somehow connected with me. And all who came after me - worse. I continue to work the best.
