How do we reorganize "iskryn"

Russian "iskrynom" - the art market did not have to deal specifically. Addressing priority national tasks automatically solve many problems of the art market

care about sustainable development "iskryna" - the art market, we think, not even in the top 1000 priorities of the country. Without irony - is the problem is clearly more important. But the paradox is that our market is not necessary to engage in something special: the decision of institutional priority tasks of the top ten (with the courts, the bureaucracy and the other, you know what) will automatically solve the many problems of the art market.

However, you can formulate the tasks that do not require the State supernatural effort, but the effect of these simple steps can be very serious. We do not invent these problems - they have long said antiquarians and other professional participants of the art market. So, in summary, that the state can do for the development of Russian art market?

1. Bring to market a "double" and minor things from the museum storerooms. It's no secret that in the vaults collected thousands of works, to put it mildly, are not important. These are the things that fall to the museums do not naturally, but by the will of Soviet power - taken out of private trade, decades gathering dust in the vaults without exhibitions and without the inclusion of the scientific revolution. Why not create one fund and implement it in a public auction? Coley state fears that under the guise of minor things and "double" sell out masterpieces, will let the public defenses. A feasible task. A market, choking from a lack of things, this step will give a powerful impetus to the development.

2. Simplify the export of works of art. A few years ago, individuals have the right to personal use (not resale rights) to import to Russia art duty free. The positive effect of this move had an immediate effect. But it nevertheless remains palliative. The law works as nipple - only in one direction. Serious effect on the export restrictions and prohibitions. As a result, potential buyers of expensive antiques feel trapped and do not rush it to be. The situation is absurd: all the same, that are allowed to buy "Mercedes" in Moscow, but the owner of the travel ban on him abroad. As a result, most major deals with Russian art in London is, without delivery of items to Russia.

fears of opponents of liberalization of export sound like this: Masterpieces of Russian Art instantly utaschat abroad. This is very unlikely. Demand for Russian art from foreigners greatly exaggerated. The main buyers - our compatriots and overseas transactions consist in part because of concerns mentioned.

3. Introduce compulsory insurance for experts. The lack of financial responsibility for errors and expert "mistakes" - is one of the fundamental brake antique market. The entire examination in a de facto - reputation. For the examination of works of art no federal standards or requirements for compulsory professional liability insurance experts themselves. In this case, for the same appraisers, the output of which is 100 percent dependent on the decision of the experts on the authenticity, the law requires a mandatory liability insurance. And for experts - no. Miracles, and more. But no need to reinvent the wheel. Have the experience of France, where the expert is not allowed to give an opinion if it is not insured. As it turns out, and customers calmly, and very expert, if that. And the issue of the competence of a particular expert is solved by itself: no insurance company after a few "mistakes" not insure more of this pseudo-expert, and thus cease to be an expert it. And: do not need the courts, criminal and other repressive, but in fact illiquid measure. What prevents introduce compulsory professional liability insurance experts we?

4. Simplify cross-border movement for exhibitions. Private organizers who tried to import or export from Russia exhibition can write scripts for "black" comedies. It would seem, not the suspicious transaction becomes extremely time-consuming due to the complicated customs clearance and other bureaucracy. Without high museum cover (Tretyakov level) of plans to bring the show people would rather give up. Whom does it benefit?

5. Legalize treatment Soviet orders. The ban on sale orders received since 1917 - is an obvious anachronism, and, according to many, hypocrisy. Indeed, from the point of view of ethics allowed sale of "George" is no better than banning the sale of the Red Star. As a result of restrictions on the output we get the black market under the guise of false "concern" about the veterans.

6. Restore regular art fair. There used to be small, but they were. In 2012, closed and "Art Manege" and "Hudgraf." Participation in them could afford and galleries average hand, and contemporary artists with their projects. Now they are not, have not offered anything in return.

7. Create a favorable environment for patrons. Our legislation does not favor patronage. It was believed that it is worth giving them favors - and the culture will be used for tax optimization schemes. As a result, this problem was solved efficiently: philanthropy for private traders become such a headache that any such intentions had forgotten. Even elementary desire to sponsor an exhibition of a wealthy man (eg, in the Tretyakov Gallery) is fraught with great accounting trick. Public companies in this sense is easier, but they are always in a special position. Recently there have been reports that the Duma sent a new law on sponsorship - maybe that will move.

8. Provide support for the Russian participants of foreign art exhibitions and fairs . After the "reformatting" galleries winery is paying attention Elena Selina. If a gallery or other institution is Russian art abroad, it is objectively not only on the pocket itself works, but to promote Russian culture in the world. Is it not worthy of support? Some states make up their galleries to the costs of stands, and certainly at the administrative level, give the "green light". And if someone is to make money, then the state is not big deal.

This short list of no very heavy item. But, unfortunately, they are all local to the main problem - the overall improvement of the investment climate. Without it, no market restarted. And the concept of climate change much more than taxes, support measures, reducing procedure time and regulation. After all, the main hope in the future of the Russian market of art - on the collectors and investors who are going to live in Russia. And they need and change of power (which results in reduced political risks), and honest courts (to the adversarial process was not in London, and Moscow), and various forms of social control. Like spending on the arts is when people have a long-term vision and clear rules. Here on these issues from the state and waiting for a coherent policy, and with all other people will cope.
