The exhibition "Always another art", a collection of Victor Bondarenko, first impressions

[Vladimir]

Landmark exhibition timed to the 60-year anniversary collector. This is a gift of Victor Bondarenko himself. Initially, even the concept of a Jubilee: exhibit 60 masterpieces from the collection of unconditional and call in the spirit of "60 to 60". But then, like, Milena Orlova discouraged, because not so long ago was a stranger to "50:50", and indeed Fig understand. Thinking pointedly called "Always a different art, and the number of works in the exhibition have increased from an initial 60 to 135. Twice growth benefited. Quality can to blur, but there were options for all tastes. Conceivable that a visitor came to the show and he did not like anything at all - virtually impossible.

Status jubilee (Victor Bondarenko - a multimillionaire and secular character) predopreelila arrival at the opening of many VIPs. Were both artists and collectors, and functionaries of the art world. Both Tsereteli, Iovleva, Salakhova father and daughter, Michael Alshibaya, Vladimir Nemukhin, Igor Makarevich, Elena Elagina, but a lot of people. Ukupnik, a hundred years have not seen, and, in my opinion, Bozena Rynska. In this crowd of unmitigated - the first is seen.

Impressions are. A lot of work, just for instance per cent 20%- Participants articles Direktor-info, and later ARTinvestment.ru, which published forecasts auction. That is, it won lots of successful Sotheby's, Phillips and, probably, Bonhams with McDougall. Second impression - a clear preference in favor of works gigantic size. Two, three or more meters - an ordinary case. That is, it is clearly buying with an eye to a large museum space. Surround yourself with so much beauty in any other circumstances - is extremely problematic.

Weak and strange things - a little. Tselkov here did not like at all. A pop, very tasty - occur more frequently (stereoscopic Khudyakov, etc.). One feels also that, other things being equal preference work with figurative basis, that all was specifically - I suppose that this is the preferred host.
Hanging design, but inconvenient. In the halls of the painting is not hung with signs and numbers. We must remember the number, and then run to look for a common sign to identify not the most famous thing.

What else to say ... to feel the audience will have to deal with a strong curatorial collection, the formation of which comply with specialists, and the landlord to correct and approve the budget. Sam Bondarenko estimates his collection at 15-18 million dollars. This figure was voiced by the collector himself at a press luncheon, which took place shortly before the opening. In matters of art Bondarenko - a straight man, wriggle not fussed. In answer to questions even too honest, sometimes to the detriment of themselves. If something does not like - so chopping the truth-uterus. That's the conversation seemed to me that part of contemporary art does not work for all baked onto the soul. Yes, something he is excited, but a number of works he obviously bought at the behest of the senses, and to close the "gaps", because it's so special razbirayuschiesya people advised. Well, okay. In the end, the money is for many, and collections of such a level all without exception.

The exhibition runs until May 30, 2010. Gogol Boulevard, 10.

The opening went Vladimir Bogdanov, AI

Home inspection. Crucifixion Nesterova and Unknown. Belyaev-Gintovt to get pictures and could not, strongly shining. But the work is impressive. Brewers enjoyed success - pictures and funny. Good Yankilevsky. Yakovlev live better than the picture, but in general it was possible to find better.

Bondarenko, one feels, acquire special effects - pro stereo and interactive Khudyakova he assumed that the audience will like. And so it happened. The people gladly poked his fingers in funny pictures.

In the "Commerce" review. Impressions were surprisingly similar. In general. Although sometimes the stick is bent - it's me about the "fashionable art galleries foam" ... There is just the first names were presented sometimes glamorous things (in the literal sense of lacquer). The young people were just not bad.

Quote:

the 90-s and zero are not so fully and so perfectly: in addition to the undisputed Timur Novikov, Oleg Kulik, Alexander Vinogradov and Vladimir Dubosarsky enough and trendy art galleries foam, mostly from the repertoire of "pop /off /art" and Aidan.
