The works of artists which often find their buyers in the domestic auction market? Whose paintings can be sold quickly at the market price? This is our best selling artists. While only painting. The graphics will be next time

As we thought? Took the statistics of auction sales in Russia in January — July 2016: only painting, without graphics. Then from the list to weed out those who for six months had less than 5 sales. This is to ensure that the selection includes only on-настоящему market artists who in a year have about ten or more sales. Otherwise, once exhibited and sold during the year, the picture would give us sales statistics 100 %. Finally, we excluded those artists in whom the average price of sold paintings did not exceed $500, or about 32 000 rubles. This is done in order to paintings price of $200-500 compete on the ease of sale of paintings for $2 000-10 000. Otherwise the painting superekonom-сегмента sales statistics will be on the head to surpass the rest. We are in the last year caught this "effect Konyshev" (which sales around 90 %) when preparing the first rating of the liquidity (see "the Most marketable artists in the auction market of Russia"). Taking into account the identified effect this time we brought beyond current rating Natta Konysheva, of Nicholas ball, Vasily Sokolov, Rostislav Barto, Vladimir Maslov, Catherine Zernova and Vera Elnitskaya. It should be noted that all of these artists have shown very good sales statistics and don't be a "price limit" went to the top-10 liquidity. The remaining artists, we were ranked in descending order of the percentage of sales at auction in pieces — on the ratio of the number of lots sold to those exposed.

every nominee of the rating then you can be dealt with separately. You should pay attention not only to the formal percentage of care, but also on the number of exposed lots. The more you have, the more stable the position of the artist in the market. It's one thing if exposed 5 paintings, 4 of them buy (like Voroshilov), but quite another if you put 15, and buy 12 (case Kazarina). And the percentage they have one and the same. In addition, you should pay attention to the average price of sold works. To $1000 dollars — is still economy-сегмент. In this range the names fly like hotcakes. But at an average price of $5 500 (like Zverev) the number of customers considerably narrowed. This success has been difficult and should be valued higher.

overall rating in line with our expectations. Work at least 6 out of 10 artists are long-time hits of our own AI Auction. That picture slepysheva, Zvereva, Kazarina, Voroshilov and Batynkov in high demand from buyers, we knew, without any additional calculations. And mathematics has only confirmed that feeling.

as a result ARTinvestment.RU obtained the following ranking of liquidity for the works of Russian artists at auction market in the first half of 2016.

In General, who will buy Bukha in the morning, he is wise.

to Treat the liquidity with increased attention, shoppers began about two years ago, with the beginning of the crisis. About the same time on the fore not ideas to make money on the resale of art, and the pragmatic question: "if I am Able to sell quickly, if that-нибудь will happen?". And let the liquidity rating does not exhaustively answer this question, but the direction sets generally true. We will do the same for graphics — wait.
