Exhibition of one of the most famous representatives of contemporary Russian art, Valery Koshlyakov will be called "Elision" and will open in Moscow in autumn. This was reported in an interview with TASS the Director of the new Museum of Russian impressionism Julia Petrova: "Specifically for this project Koshlyakov creates the content right now: it will be brand new, never seen nobody work. Together with the curator Danilo Eccher, Director of the Turin Museum of art, will they do something absolutely fantastic here. They have plans to restructure the exhibition halls, and I think we'll all be pleasantly surprised. After this the project will go to the Biennale in Venice".

it is Known that the collection of the Museum owner Boris mints there are quite a lot of work Koshlyakov and some of them are included in the exposition. In particular, a series of "Postcards" created in 2012. Which also is the latest by creation time in the halls the new Museum.

the works of Valery Koshlyakov ARTinvestment.ru have repeatedly drawn attention in the context of investment ideas on the art market. In the publication of 2015, AI did the following conclusions: "If you analyze how "by the book", the work Koshlyakov almost perfectly matches the known investment criteria. Everything is here: a hundred percent awareness of your own style, involvement in the exhibition process (the Venice Biennale), the presence of the driving forces behind long-standing affiliation to the holder of the auction (the auction about fifty episodes), good productivity and, importantly, age: 52 years — peak form for established artists. Moreover, creativity Koshlyakov — is a very rare case when modern Russian artist causes no idiosyncrasies, no one group of buyers. On the contrary, it is to your liking and that and the other. An iconic figure in the camp “aktualschikov”, a former colleague of Avdey Ter-Оганьяна the Association “Art or death”, the famous artist squat in Trekhprudny lane — Valery Koshlyakov not on the path of protest for the sake of protest and the complete denial of plastic bases. It is no coincidence that painting is quite understandable as fans of contemporary and hardened conservatives. Archaic ruins on corrugated Board or the symbols of the Soviet era on the metal does not cause internal protest among connoisseurs, whose vision is set to the classics".

the auction record for the artist held in 2008 at $147 000. It was established on the eve of the crisis, a year later, prices collapsed and contemporary art for works Koshlyakov including (about 40 %). In 2010-2011, prices have stabilized on average at a new, lower level. Worse market least affected the work at the highest level. In 2013-2016 Koshlyakov have had a few sales in the range of $76 000-137 000, and in the domestic market, more all affected by the economic crisis. It is tops. But at international auctions in the domestic market and meet much more affordable prices — in the range of $5 000-20 000 — for finished good things, including painting techniques. You only need to monitor the market and wait for an occasion.
