Top-5 living artists

ARTinvestment.RU – 22.05.2008,15:56

Rules compiling our rankings are simple: First, are taken into account only deals with the works of living authors, and secondly, only the public auction sale, and, thirdly, as in the next rankings "Top-10 world artists", observed the rule of "an artist - a job" (if you work in the ranking of two records belong to Jones, there remains only the most expensive, while the rest are ignored). Ranking is conducted in dollar terms.

I place. Jasper Johns

«Flag." May 11, 2010. 28.6 million dollars

Estimate: 10-15 million dollars
Result: 28.6 million dollars
Christie's. 05/11/2010. Lot number 7

first place in the Top 5 ranking of living artists rightfully belongs to the American Jasper Johns (r.1930) . The current record price for the work Jones - 28,6 million dollars . So many have paid for his famous «flag» at auction Christie's May 11, 2010 . This result was further confirmation of the fact that during the crisis, interest in the masterpieces of the only growing. In the troubled times of creation, "proven" classics will always be the price, and Jasper Johns has long been included in this pantheon.

Jasper Johns is not the first time led by top-five living artists. For many years the most expensive work, compiled by the above rules, it led «False start» . Until 2007, this very bright and decorative canvas, painted by Jasper Johns in 1959, was considered almost impregnable to the owner living artist (albeit a classic in vivo) prices - $ 17 million . So much for him to pay in gold for the art market 1988 . Interestingly, the experience of Jasper Johns as a carrier of record has not been continuous. In 1989 he interrupted the work of our colleagues Willem de Kooning : two-meter abstraction «confusion» was sold at Sotheby's for 20,7 million dollars . Jasper Johns had to move. But after eight years, in 1997, de Kooning died, and "False start» 1 Jones again took first place auction prices for works by living artists almost 10 years.

But in 2007 everything changed. Record "false start" overshadowed the work of young and ambitious Damien Hirst and Jeff Koons (which will be discussed below), and for several years, Jones had to give leadership. However, May 16, 2007 , he updated his record price selling paintings «number 4» at Christie's for 17,4 million dollars . However, this still was not enough to keep up with the youth. In 2008, the year in the first place ranking out of his English colleague Lusien Freud with a picture «Sleep Inspector benefits» 2 , which temporarily relegate Jones to the podium. It is symbolic that the abstract work of "number 4", which emerges from the spot four distinct mathematical circuit for a long time it took fourth place in the list of most expensive living artists.

The return of Jones on the rankings contributed to the sad event - the death of Freud Lusiena the night from 20 to 21 July 2011. The history of the eloquent record "Sleep Inspector benefits" Now, unfortunately, can be read only in the footnotes to this article. However, Jasper Johns, one of the patriarchs of American postwar art, working at the intersection of neo-Dada, Abstract Expressionism and Pop Art, back on the horse. The first prize for him.

II position. Jeff Koons

« Flower from a balloon (Purple) ». June 30, 2008. 12,92 million pounds (25,8 million dollars)

Result: 12.92 million pounds
Christie's. 30.06.08. Lot number 12

Jeff Koons (r.1955) achieved his best result of the auction at the peak of the boom in contemporary art, in 2008. June 30, 2008 his "Flower from a balloon," purple went under the hammer at London auction Christie's for 12,92 million pounds (25.8 million dollars). It is interesting that seven years before the previous owners of the "Flower" have purchased the work for $ 1.1 million. It is easy to calculate that during this time, its market price rose almost 25 times. Such a rapid rise in prices for Koons - is no exception, but rather a pattern: all prices in the segment of Contemporary Art with 2003 to 2008 rose more than tenfold.

Jeff Koons Suspended heart. 1994-2006

Estimate: 15-20 million dollars
Result: 23.6 million dollars
Sotheby's. 14.11.07. Lot number 14

On the way to the top of his auction career, the artist passed another very significant milestone, without which the story about him would be incomplete. This is a hands-free sales, which Koons first broke into the ranking of living artists. It was at auction Sotheby's November 14, 2007: in this day of his installation of a giant metal «Suspended heart» was bought for 23,6 million dollars . As well as "false start" Jones in 1988, this work represents the acquired Koons Gagosian Gallery (in the press wrote that in the interests of Ukrainian billionaire Viktor Pinchuk). Gallery has acquired not only the installation and, in fact, a certain piece of jewelry. Let the work done and not made of gold (the material was the stainless steel) and size, it more clearly regular pendant (2.7 m high sculpture weighs 1600 kg), but has a similar purpose. In the manufacture of a composition with a heart, covered with ten layers of paint, has been spent over 6500 hours. As a result, for the spectacular "jewelry" paid huge money.

Jeff Koons Flower from a balloon (Blue). 1995-2000

Estimate: 12-16 million dollars
Result: 16.9 million dollars
Christie's. 10.11.2010. Lot number 23

Since then much water has flowed already. The crisis of 2008 was quite a painful blow on the market of Contemporary Art. But bad times are behind us, and contemporary art raises its head again. Restored to previous levels if the market works by Koons? Why not? The audit was successfully completed November 10, 2010 at Christie's: blue version of "Flower from a balloon» has been sold for 16,9 million dollars in the evaluation 12 -16,000,000. Thus, Koons has once again proved that even after the crisis of his work can bring to the market eight-digit sum. The result is a blue "flowers", though more modest than the purple fellow, of course, if the word "modest" is appropriate to use in talking about such grandiose money. If a job and can Koons in 2010 cost almost 17 million, it was blue "Flower": in the end product is a world-famous monument for many years adorned the Berlin Potsdamer Platz. Previously, "Flower" belonged to the company Daimler, which bought it directly from the artist.

III place. Gerhard Richter

«abstract painting." May 8, 2012. 21.8 million dollars

interest in the work of German artist Gerhard Richter (b. 1932) in the past few years just neobychaen. From 2004 to 2008 the price of his paintings have tripled 3 . And that, on average, without any division into periods, and without the sort of quality. Million or five million auction prices were normal. According to The Economist , in the Richter's work in 2010 brought 76.9 million and estimated Artprice, in the same 2010 Richter became the leading living artists (on amounts from sales of his works). The market works by Gerhard Richter is rapidly becoming an international, his works were bought by collectors all over the world, including Russian and Chinese.

While, for example, Jasper Johns runaway success at the auction is accompanied by a basically only the early works, for works of Richter is a sharp division is not typical - the demand is equally resistant to things different creative periods. And the vivid evidence of - the history of personal auction records by this artist.

last few years, the most desirable works of Richter, which are avid collectors said with a gasp, were the creation of a series of papers with pictures of candles - for these buyers were willing to give record amounts, and record not only for Richter, but for the entire market by living artists.

Total Richter painted a still life with candles 27. When in the early 1980s, they were first exhibited in the gallery of Max Hetslera in Stuttgart, none of the papers did not buy, even though they cost just at 15,000 DM (5800 dollars). Then the theme of art has been called an old-fashioned; today, "Candles" believe the works at all times.

GERHARD Gerhard Richter Candle.
1982 Oil on canvas. 83 x 62,2
Estimate: 6-9 million pounds
Result: 10.46 million pounds
Christie's. 10/14/2011. Lot number 10
Source: artinfo.com < /div>

February 27, 2008 «Candle" , written in 1983, was suddenly bought for 7,97 million pounds ($ 16 million) . This personal record lasted three and a half years, with Richter has long held the fifth place in our ranking. But everything changed October 14, 2011, when another "Candle" (1982) went under the hammer at a Christie'suzhe 10.46 million pounds (16.48 million dollars). This allowed the first Gerhard Richter up on the podium, shifting out the former bronze medalist Damien Hirst (it will be discussed below).

Unlike the other works mentioned in this ranking, the "Candle" Richter no a special challenge: the traditional technique, realism genre, or rather even hyperrealism. At the time, like Richter, "photographed" on the canvas, but deliberately introduced into the image defects inherent in photography, was filled with fog, knocked down, "exposition" and "restraint." Auctioneers, who sold "Candle" in 2011, called it a symbol of unification of western and eastern Germany (in both public entities Richter managed to stay) and literally light for today's global world. Richter himself prefers not to explain the meanings of which he puts into his figurative and abstract works. After the conclusion of the scope of some common interpretations hampers our personal perception of the work, which may change over time.

Whatever each of us has seen in the "Candle", its beauty is undeniable. For sore eyes weary traveler through the world of contemporary art, such compositions Richter, albeit a bit blurry - a real holiday, balm for the soul. As on a candle flame, as psychologists say, you can watch endlessly. Watch and think: why is it worth 16 million?

It is possible that this does not know himself, and Richter. In a recent interview at the opening of his retrospective at the Tate (October 2011 - January 2012), he told reporters that such amounts result in his bewilderment. "It's as absurd as the banking crisis", - says nearly 80-year-old artist.

Less than a month after the last auction records by Gerhard Richter, like a wizard, a new cause for bewilderment. November 9, 2011 at the auction of postwar and contemporary art Sotheby's the product of a different genre and creative period of the artist has broken the record "candles": a large-scale «abstract painting (849-3)" in 1997 went under the hammer for 20.8 million dollars (13.2 million pounds). This is one of the many works of Richter with the title "Abstract Paintings» (Abstraktes Bild). Such works the artist writes in the author's unique technique: he puts on a light background mix of simple colors, and then use a scraper or spatula smears them on canvas. This yields the intricate tonal gradations, spots and stripes.
