«As a result, it will lead to an overall increase in sales from 20 to 40%of the art market and a new record price of trades in the next six months or a year", - summed up the owner of the gallery "Bosco" Natalia Lysenko.
These findings primarily justified by the results of the current world auction sales of French, Belgian and other auction houses, not even taking into account the results of the leading houses Sotheby's and Christie's. Already, according to available data, the increase in price in the global art market was 10-15%compared with the first half of this year. For example, in the autumn auctions Sotheby's in New York at a session of jewelry was sold 73%of lots for a total of $ 13,125,362. Bidding decorative art and furniture finished with a score of 65%of lots in the amount of $ 4,077,501. Sales of the Impressionists and Russian art was 81%of lots in the amount of $ 6,435,983. "It becomes clear that there are alternative investments: if you get an object, it is the price never drops, it can slowly grow, it is something that applies to antiques", - commented on the gallery director.
The same trend noted by experts and Ukrainian art market: in our country are still actual investment in works of art, especially painting. The result of the fall of Kiev trades - from 70 to 90%of sales.
In this case confirms the generally accepted view that the art of living by their own laws, and no financial crises, he was not afraid, moreover, the longer the product remains within the walls of art galleries, and so, accordingly, it becomes more precious, and its price may rise in several times. To date, according to Ms. Lysenko, change the price of works of art - to increase or reduce them - not appropriate.
True, some of the Western artists, notes that the effects of the crisis may not be immediately apparent, and after a couple of years, prices for works of art can really slow.
Also, according to experts, talk about samovykupe some works by the same auction house in this situation is not going. Despite the fact that many houses practiced samovykup some lots in order to raise this or that object in the price and then sell it more expensive, either put on bail to the bank. First, the activities of such prestigious auction houses like Sotheby's and say Christie's, transparent and should not assume such experiments, and secondly, they are simply unprofitable.
OPINIONS EXPERTS
Yuri Komelkov,
publisher Aura (Gallery "Triptych"):
"The current financial and economic crisis will negatively affect the work of gallery in Ukraine. In particular, the number of sales of paintings by contemporary artists substantially reduced. Fall and the value of their paintings. In short, contemporary art is once again going through hard times. Our auctions - this is a real indicator of the state of the market of modern Ukrainian art. Number of sales has already fallen and will fall further. Conditional businessman is thinking now only of preserving their business, their real money, before he successfully credited, and now, this scheme breaks down. This non-payment crisis, and so on ... "
Sergey Poyarkov,
artist:
"If we talk about the Ukrainian artists, it is five names, at which the crisis will not affect: Gapchinskaya, Mas, Poyarkov, Pinchuk and Marchuk. Now falling off any husks and stalks. The so-called crisis will affect 90%, while the remaining 10%it is practically not affected. In recent years, the market of art works grew reactively, but now that growth has slowed. But if the artist does not adjust to the market and built it under him, all he will be fine. For myself I do not feel any crisis. The demand for my paintings has always been, and now it has grown to incredible levels. I predict that in the near future will remain a steady demand for the most expensive and the cheapest, but undistinctive withdraw from the market. On the art-market value of works of art is not determined by some shop. The price forms the personality of the artist.
Peter Bevza,
artist:
"At this point, nothing really new in the Ukrainian art market has not yet happened. I did not observe any particular surge of interest, or his fall. Of course, the artist is adequate if not fear, then a certain foreboding. But the real facts of stagnation of the market of contemporary fine art yet. With regard to the opinion of Sergei Poyarkova, he actually lives at the expense of such statements. It is his subjective point of view. This is normal, it is self-promotion. And what will happen to our art-market - time will tell. In fact, I as an artist, this situation is good. Experience proves that in times like these paintings for sale increased, although I have not conducted any research. "
Leonid Komsky,
co-owner of the antique salon "Dukat", the publisher of the magazine "Antiques":
"How will it affect the current crisis on the art market? Now, in fact, even the serious players find it difficult to answer this question, nobody knows anything. In any case, at every crisis of his active part of the time always lasts from a few weeks and months to several years. As a result, in Ukraine, the market will take random people, amateurs and professionals only strengthened strong on it. To my knowledge, in the United States, in New York is to activate the art market, as well as in Moscow, and we, in Ukraine, the market is a little prosyadet - not the level. In general, the art will invest even more than before. People no longer trust deposits and find benefit in investing in art, in particular, in antiques.
