Dear Vladimir Bogdanov (as a specialist in contemporary art), could you comment on the recent auction at Phillips de Pury & Co. (If it is of course time).
Eugene.

And I also curious where the buyer will do with the template for that kind of money? "And how then will need to pull this amount of hair? ...

[Vladimir]

Results of in some moments of surprise, and in some not. For a variety of artists withdrawal was the normal market prices (Petrov, Vasiliev, Tselkov). But many hundreds of thousands of pounds for Bulatov and Komar Melamid with - is someone "biting at the bit." Both of the important, but bought, in my opinion, with a large overpayment. The projections do not guessed by him and another on Yankilevsky. For the first time at the opening of tenders received his triptych number 13. The most powerful thing, one of the best, rare, very decorative. Triptychs he generally only 27. Estimeyt was 50-70 thousand pounds. AI suggested that the excess will be fourfold. And it was on the fact twofold - 133 thousand pounds. Someone made a fantastically profitable and important purchase. Only now you have the room and serious. Triptych - more than four meters in width.

Projections for the auction have been on the site http://artinvestment.ru/news/auctnew...0419_bric.html

And the outcome, too: http://artinvestment.ru/news/auctnew...pury_bric.html

A general trend is encouraging - the sixties and contemporary art dare for a sweet soul with serious exceeded the estimate.

Well, I do not understand the conceptual and the actual "art"! I do not see prices for posters Bulatov, Kosolapov Bratkova and limited edition work of AES + F.

As Zhukov did not buy a portrait of Abramovich? Or the price seemed unworthy of a low? So he had to work up to a million or two.

Art for Bratkov - to the masses!

Art for Bratkov - to the masses!

"Conceptual" and "actual" art for Bratkov?

[Черномашенцев Владимир]

Conceptually and contemporary art, or rather "art", different artistic simplicity. Simple compositions, no complicated color solution and there is no outstanding invoices. The emphasis is on the idea or slogan. Remove the slogan or make it confusing for people - and in 50-100 years nobody will look at it, except for historians. No interest will be even art critics. Well, who needs a banal portrait of Abramovich?

Such a simple creation has been highly successful in the masses who do not have more or less serious artistic training. Media U.S., who were forced to go to Europe and Russia, advertise and sell something that is understandable to ordinary people and "green" young people, always ready to hang out and postebatsya over anything. Paints Aron Buch they do not understand, but remember Plural political arrangement Glazunov or Gioconda with a mustache. Many rich people - just the rich "our brother". As in Russia, and partly abroad. Many, but not all.

Or money to replace the current culture? As can be seen by some people, even education and professional experience no culture can not be replaced.
