Russian art market: the response to the sanctions
ARTinvestment.RU   09 августа 2017

Illusions that sanctions — this year-два, no more. Probably for the decade. And maybe not one. Besides up-to-date sanctions regime is likely to be periodically tightened. To develop in the new reality requires a new approach

three years after the reunification of the Crimea can definitely say that we have unpredictable prolonged adverse external background. "Western partners" once in a quarter, strive to introduce a-нибудь new batch of restrictions aimed mainly against the oil and gas and financial sectors. But bad repercussions for all. sales of the domestic auction market painting and drawing in 2016 fell three times compared to pre-crisis 2013-м (from $21 million to $7 million). The life-giving stream from the river of petrodollars, the previously bad-бедно datecase to the domestic market of art, is very shallow and is used in drip irrigation.

it is Clear that the oil companies and state-owned companies as-нибудь cope. What do we answer the new call? As the art market to get out of this situation?

Output have to be.

And even clear about what to do. At the sectoral level there is a long-lurking "ambush regiment" — complex steps that can give impetus ProductName the art market. All of this long been known, all of this could be a long time to do. Just as usual, fat time hands did not reach. For example:

1. To remove the restrictions on the export of works of contemporary art. For anything under 50 years of age and under 20 years and even more. People to be able to send modern art to foreign buyers without permission of the Ministry of culture and collecting mocking inquiries about the lack of cultural values. Fixed fee to avoid abuse with a high rating, and — forward. Make of the amendments to the law on export and import for the second year tries Andrey Makarov. But the things are there. People versed in the subject market, it has long been clear that horror, replicated item from a culture that "will remove a national treasure", has long been an anachronism (though the examples cited or something). Get more out of the sixties and aktualschikov? Ought to be happy. As a healthy process of exporting culture. Nothing wrong with that. By the way, if Malevich is not taken in due time some of their things in Germany, not the fact that the world would know in time about the ideas of Suprematism.

2. To create a supportive exhibition environment for artists, especially young ones. Where are they now exhibit? What came to replace the dead authorities "HUDGRAF", "Art-Манежам" and other projects? And after replacement will appear, you also need to think about how to make the public found out and came for future fairs. Just to announce the exhibitions and fairs — is not enough. We need to have in comfort, with Parking, with advertising. Now the exhibition field, brought to a state of desert with very few oases. And not Obama, trump did it with living artists.

3. In the manual mode to return a fashion on culture, on art, on collecting. Here much is already being done, but work still — untilled field. Well, that open private museums. Well, that is a line of Serov, after Putin's visit. Good, but not enough. The state would work to submit an unambiguous signal that art of the country — our pride. In whatever form. Begin high officials and their wives to appear regularly in exhibitions and fairs — and the business itself goes, you'll see.

4. To increase foreign exhibition programme of the Russianart. This is just for us to do it. If you regularly and widely not to show Russian art (including contemporary) in the world, the interest to take is going to be particularly nowhere. And will continue to dwell in the country — in one day, you will receive a confirmation version of the Aven on the nature of the secondary Russian art of reasoning, why is it our aktualschikov did not become world stars.

5. At the state level to help Russian artists and private institutions to participate in foreign projects. Most "green light" and a minimum of bureaucratic obstacles — is by itself. But this is not enough. Perhaps it's time to discuss forms of co-financing participation in international exhibitions (private initiatives to strengthen the state money). Of course, today this is hard to imagine. But do not be surprised if it is this practice in the future will be one of the most effective forms of support of export of culture.

This is not an exhaustive list of measures. In a situation of "sanctions — for a long time" could, for example, to return to the question of public sale of the unused parts of Museum collections — to implement the auction and to return to the market circulation of the part requisitioned after the revolution of property, buried for a hundred years in storage. Here, of course, has its risks (corruption and political), but they can be minimized.

it looks at first sight feasible. But, alas, on the way of development of the art market are much more serious obstacles. The fact that all of these measures will be effective, not alone in themselves, but only in the context of the comprehensive improvement of the business climate. You can do everything right, consistently, the internal pump and the export potential of Russian art... But if people collectors will not have the money and business in the country will be "down" and "survive", then everything would be pointless. The art of nowhere on the last money do not buy. Sales can begin only in terms of business growth, when there is a flow of available funds.

SPR the sieve, whence the ascent to take under sanctions? Businesses everywhere are pragmatic. He is looking for profits, not smiles of politicians. If what-то there appears a good opportunity to earn money, then sanctions business will adapt — and foreign, and whatever (look at the Crimea, where everything is already figured out how to work). You only need to create the right conditions. This is not only predictable and it would be better to lower taxes. And not only political stability, based on the regular turnover of power. Business is important, especially the protection of property and an adequate judicial system. So at least there is no risk to fall under the steamroller of high interest in the style of CHA.

And, as you can see, all these issues are not the responsibility of the trump and disgruntled overseas Congress. To heal by-человечески have to stand by.
