October 23 Institute of Art and Antiques business conducted in the CHA roundtable" Art History expert: document and "literature". " The hall was packed, gathered more than 100 people - a sure symptom severity of the situation.

Already in the opening revealed that the contradictions in the relations of customers, contractors and consumers expertise accumulated too much. And the fundamental. If you pass a conversation with quotations, and by implication, it is about the picture is.

One says: worthless to any of our evaluation report, if there is no responsible examination. Therefore, before making an assessment, our guild promises seven skins down from the experts! We will put them to the conditions on the quality than that now.

echoes him: correctly. But this can be achieved only if the experts in their conclusions cease to pour water, and will describe specifically what criteria they came to their conclusions. Like, what-your-to-ka-for-Tel properties?

Experts answer to this: Do not even think about it. Why would you paint the whole story? So our tips of the conclusions quickly emulated by poddelschiki. Here we are writing to you now a brief conclusion - be content with that. In general, the weak, concise examinations themselves Russian customers and blame. Like, when foreigners bought examination, then a job offer a year of time and money as long as necessary. Because there are people interested in a reliable result. And for the sake of it, they are ready to wait patiently until the experts will not only "technology" and artistic expertise, but also dig a detailed provenance. Our customers want a conclusion quickly, about two weeks. But at the price cheaper. A provenance in this situation you can almost write itself.

others say that we need a special law on the examination. He objected that the 200 laws are not written.

per lap (good table round) we find that to a consensus on our examination of the antiquarian community - how to Mars.

We looked at the matter, and that's something to think about. Structure expert documents and completeness of data in this paper - it is important, but the tenth. The main contradiction lies in the motivation system. Need a diagram in which the examination will be neat to make profitable, and the "wrong" - very dangerous. Meanwhile, long bicycle invented. Remember, as told French antiquarians, who came to roundtable in RAD ?

recall. Jean-Michel Renard, chairman of the French National Chamber of experts and specialists, said that experts in France are the most often not museum professionals and art dealers, auctioneers - sellers. But people are responsible for their views in court. The version of "I was sincerely wrong, sorry" can pass through. Specialist auction house and meet the buyer money. And 5 years of expertise, together with the auction house, and up to 25 years - to the private expert opinion. Where will the money? From insurers. Each expert in France is obliged to insure their professional liability. Insurance costs - on-go-go. For example, an expert who works with millions of violins, the annual fee for your policy about 10 000. Insurance packages are different, but all the same it is a serious sum. Moreover, if the judge allows three errors, the fourth time it has no insurance coverage. And if do not have insurance, then you are not an expert. Iron motivation to avoid mistakes and "errors"! Brilliant system, in which the system of motivations and defenses are built on money. And not on the reputation and the system of sectoral agreements (like us). Once again: the insurance is expensive, there is a judicial system, which often took the side of the buyer, there are insurance companies that will cover the costs. Of course, in a system where the experts are responsible, the cost of the service is installed on the other market levels. Roughly speaking, what we have is 1500 euros, it costs from 5000 euros.

As for Russian prices for the examination, it begs the vulgar mass comparisons. So, insurance against theft and damage to representative car cost about 80 thousand dollars will cost about 5%of its value - just over 100 thousand. For support of the deal with a two-bedroom apartment worth about 200 thousand dollars will go for about 200 thousand rubles. A conditional examination on Aivazovsky with price under a million dollars for some reason, the market values ​​of 60-80 thousand. That is the basic document for works of high value is almost half the price of the average annual insurance "Mercedes." Q: What level of zeal and responsibilities of the parties in this case, we are entitled to expect?

Moderately slender logic stumbles while on domestic insurance companies - to their good faith and willingness to keep millions of professional liability risks in exchange on thousands of insurance premiums. However, this is a matter of time and competition: we have recently joined the WTO. Otherwise, go to an insurance expert looks the part as a matter of political will. And perhaps the "kick" of the law in this process really will benefit.
