Shut Mikhail Klodt

Results (nonconformists, contemporary art) of the 67 lots of contemporary art sold only 24, which is an obvious failure
  some lots went for half the price of pre-crisis, and for example on Rukhin, fell by 5-7 times.:

but for example on Rukhin, fell by 5-7 times.:

It sold within estimate, for example, 12,5 thousand pounds. They fell into five times? Five times - is 62 thousand pounds, a hundred thousand dollars? Rukhin much cost and should not. Such. Especially not now, when it so much. Selling out expected. Krasnopevtsev - almost pre-crisis, and Tselkov and did quite well. But could be better - then your intonation is valid.

Rukhin so much cost and should not.

is the average price of 80-120 thousand pounds. for Rukhin (in the database all have one) .. is that inflated prices for contemporary art .. it is a fact.

Сообщение от Vladimir

Rukhin so much cost and should not be.

Here I completely agree with you, specifically the price of this artist sham ... 8-12 thousand pounds. real.

Сообщение от Vladimir

Tselkov and does quite well.

Tselkov weather does not.
  Gerasimov (academician of Socialist Realism) also went over 365 TW (work is average), and most recently was: a maximum of 10-40 t.ue. growth evident ..

Tselkov weather does not, Gerasimov (academician of Socialist Realism) also went over 340 TW (work is average)

Well, that Gerasimov showed record. This is an important sale for socialist realism. But we must understand that this is a one-time sale, it is difficult to talk about the result of systematic. Because this can not make global conclusions, otherwise will have to "put a cross on Brodsky for the fact that he is not sold at all. A Tselkov, for example, sold a dozen works at good prices.

This is an important sale for socialist realism. But we must realize that this is a one-off sale,

I totally agree (that is an important sale for collectors of socialist realism), but this is not one-off sale of Soviet artists, this year there were many interesting results ...
Modern art to me as you like, but agree prices too high in times, the more-petrodollars away from the market ... now and will be the real price of this painting.

[Vladimir]

Сообщение от Eugene

agreed, specifically the price of this artist sham ... 8.10 t.evr. really

probably 50-70 thousand euro for the work above average. Rukhin now available are very different quality and technical parameters it can not compare. Look, one year, one size, one style, but with a masterpiece - and other - so much himself. These "very fair" and spoil the statistics

is not one-off sale of Soviet artists, this year was a lot of interesting results ...

And nice. Especially now, it is appropriate to remember them. What was the record at international auctions? Were Gerasimov, in my opinion Pimenov, may Dejneka. List the better you are, you're tracking the results ....

Rukhin now available are very different quality

At SodBi had some good work .. just suitable for the average parameters.

(Volodya, I would like to clarify once again, the conversation is only about Rukhin, the specific prices for it)

Сообщение от Vladimir

As soon as I start to write about Soviet art, such a cry begins, that there is no desire to write, it is absolutely Popras Matthew Bown, he is an expert on Soviet art in the west .. I'm on our auction houses.

I understand that the quotation about Rukhin not yours, and Markina? http://art4-ru.livejournal.com/126341.html It is simply in a bad mood.

Bown is where to write - http://www.izo.com/ There he mentions us Crick would not, if you make a retrospective of the invoice. Now is the time to sum up, try to write, what was remarkable year for the market of socialist realism. With examples, with supporting prices, with the record. I assure you all will be interesting. And hard to argue with the facts.
