Until October 25, 2008 in Moscow, in the building of "Red October", an exhibition of works of contemporary Western art, "What you will» (http://www.gagosian.com/exhibitions/...bout-to-rece /), brought by Larry Gagosian Gallery (Gagosian Gallery). Catalog of the exhibition will be only two weeks, but we allowed to take pictures with Konstantin. Plus managed to talk with Victoria Gelfand, director of the Gagosian Gallery in London.

The specific prices, she said did not (call them only privately to potential buyers - such a policy), but on strategic issues to clear. Gagosian second time in recent years brings exposure to Russia, because previous experience in Barvikha Luxury Village turned out to be quite successful in commercial terms. Nevertheless, Russia has yet to open a branch does not plan to, while they are working in shifts. "In Russia we find a great space and we bring high-quality work. While we use this model work in Russia, and not to open a branch ", - says Gelfand. Meanwhile, the branch is not here, then all transactions will be carried out in Europe. The model appears to be both at the Moscow Fine Art Fair. People are determined to shop here, and then things return to London, and where the transactions occurred.
The exhibition in Moscow of about 70 artworks. Range from 20 thousand dollars to 30 million. Asked, what is 30 million - can egg Koons, who has been the "face" exposure? Apparently not - Baroque egg Jeff Koons in general is not for sale (well, so to speak). Interestingly, not all sold. And Gelfand said that not even all of the imported works hung in the hall. Obviously, part of the show only a select audience. And from the same posted in the hall of paintings of the most expensive is the abstraction of de Kooning in 1981 (how much it costs - does not say). Of the most valuable works, striking - Giacometti sculpture, abstraction Arshila Hills valuable time, a small abstraction of Pollock, de Kunningov couple, a pair of paintings by Roy Lichtenstein. Deming Hearst was not one. Naturally, he asked, why? Answer: because the idea of the exhibition - both abstract and "Readymade" influenced contemporary artists and works have been selected precisely those which reveal the subject. And Victoria Gelfand emphasizes that this exhibition includes the works of those artists with whom the gallery is not working exclusively - they have chosen, because they have helped to show this theme. Honestly, in my opinion, a contraindication to participation Hurst such a theme is not - well, for there is no court no. On the other hand discussed the success of Damien Hirst at the recent auction. Frankly, I expected to hear criticism of the act of successful British artist (after all, his career Hurst obliged including the Gagosian Gallery, and then "went into the round" and risked demolish the market). But Gelfand said, conversely, that the reaction to the auction of Hirst's beautiful, "people are relieved, the day after the stock market declined seriously. And then 223 of the object turned out for the evening and all sold, only two things do not sell. " Director of the Gagosian Gallery in London also noted that the price of the Hirst auction were about the same as in the galleries. Not cheaper than many feared. As for buyers, here you can guess. For example, assume that among the buyers at the auction were a lot of speculators who are difficult to get through the work of Hurst representing his gallery.
And now, in fact, the picture story. Let's see what we have to? And start with the elderly.

I wonder why say so? By Vozdaniku Adoyanu, Gorki, despite high prices, are looking at and Russian collectors, collecting Russian art. Still, our little man. Although formal relations with Russia had little, except in passing, he moved to the West after the events of 1915. About Gorki film is a documentary (and it's called "Arshile Gorky") and art, which I think is called "Ararat" and a couple of years ago brought on a festival, where there was a limited run. It's a deal comes with a DVD movie, but somehow "semi-underground" through his. Before I never came: (Where to get it?

Well this is inevitable, so it should be. On the horns of the same - live on a large scale, and the photo - just kind of pathetic. Egg Koons good alive orgomnoe, well done. And sculpture of David Smith's Cubi II is good. Pollock was under glass, but it is great to spoil the impression.

Here on the forum is an interview with Gagosyanom old (not in this exhibition) http://forum.artinvestment.ru/showth...light =??????? He started with trade posters - posters with movie stars. Although I kazhzhetsya that this is largely a genre legend to confirm the logic of the "American dream" But all the same fellow. Sdalal so that now everything in his mouth look.
