Man has always wanted and dreamed of overcoming death. There are several options. I will write a book, it will issue - I would die, and she left. Or head of a lot of children, they grow up to be like me ...
Collection of Collections are a way of overcoming death. Here Tretyakov - ordinary industrialist, which was much in Russia. But he was collecting, so stay in our memory and will come after us. Because the price of a work of art can be any.
Faust was willing to appoint any price for immortality - and collectors for some things that can become the history of art, are willing to pay for a ticket to eternity. Happened not so long ago, two or three hundred years ago, when the art was to serve as storage of wealth.
The whole world's money circulation anyway gradually settles in museums as works of art. It can not be. For example, we in Russia is a large organization Gazprom, the entire country rests on it. But the capitalization of Picasso, that is, the value of all his works - is somewhere half the value of Gazprom: 90 billion dollars.
This means that the artist, not having any license, no natural resources, or pipes, or anything else, just with his talent, creates value, comparable to the huge production Makhinov, which tries to rule the world. It says what? The value of art market - the thing is formed, and we can not say that there are some real and objective prices.
It only means that human civilization appreciates this unique creative impulse is very high. Transcendental price for a work of art simply means that we'll recognize: "Talent is more important than any material goods that surround us ......"

What should orient the collector, forming his collection?
Only on his understanding of the artistic process and its taste. Understand, of course, can be one-sided and narrow, and it is easy to get wrong. After all, if fashionable artist sells well, it does not mean that he deserves, and vice versa. But the collector should not collect things that do not attract.
If he gathers not with the eyes and ears - woe to him! Passionate collector always achieve something, but if you buy only because there is money - any good it does not. Turn out the dead collection, which appear from nowhere and disappear into nowhere.
If the collector does not understand the artistic process and the market, then how could he raise a decent collection?
Must be expert consultant. If a person is exposed to the passion for antiques shopping, or as they say - "sat on an antique needle" - that without the consultant can not do. Often people try to be guided only by their taste and their views, but when the taste is not developed, then sometimes they are confronted by the failure ....
