Looking at estimeyty with five or six zeros, many potential investors to come to a head «devious plans». Why, say, overpay for someone else's success, if you can buy the work of lesser-known talent, in your opinion, artists, and to wait until they «rounds»? And you can even help them to do so - to invest in promotion, to conduct a consensual transaction at the auction and in the bag. They come as such thoughts? The only thing alarming - this is why everyone else on dodumalis to so obvious.

And in general, the question is not idle and is not of a good life. Indeed, where a dozen investors in small and medium-sized budget?

to the acquisition of little-known artists of the second and third series of investment intentions is required to approach very carefully. Yes, such work is relatively cheap, and if successful set of circumstances can rise in the price of several hundred percent within a year or two. But such investments are much more risky. No one in the light of a whole can not say how quickly the «shoot» a name will be included in the auction whether the clip at all and how there was the fate of specific jobs.

Yes, and the mere fact of belonging to a long «Second Name» has to be alert. Of course, the possible alternative, that the artist had not been seen time and evaluated properly due to some unfortunate combination of circumstances (such cases are). But more often the reasons attributing to the second and third row are much more fundamental. In my opinion, investing in works of artists of the second series - it is more fate and experienced collectors, professionals, well versed in the subject. For the rest of unduly high risks of errors of choice and further complications with the resale of the acquired operations, that is their liquidity. New to the investors to better adhere to the general trend, choose your portfolio of work by artists who not only like that, but also represented in the market in substantial numbers, have an open auction history, and affordable. If the budget does not allow to buy expensive high-quality paintings, the most effective way - to buy a much more affordable graphics, of course, drawing attention to its quality.

admirers of Russian art of the first half of XX century can recommend a few names, prices for which the schedule (especially later time) belong to the budget segment. Supervision of schedule Leopold Syurvazha (8-10 thousand dollars per list), Marevny (Mary-Vorobieva Stebelskaya, her schedule is about 10 thousand dollars, Painting - 40-80 thousand dollars), the schedule of other Russian artists abroad. From low cost can be described as graphic works Erte (alias Roman Tyrtova, 3-5 thousand dollars per sheet). Interestingly, with a budget of about 10 thousand dollars you can afford to schedule «first name» in Russian art. Let this be the work of late, but these artists are not lost with age in the class. For example, recent work Alexander Benois you can buy in the range of 8-10 thousand dollars, sheets Mstislav Dobuzhinsky sometimes you can buy for 8-10 thousand dollars, the later drawings Yuri Pavlovich Annenkov and Konstantin Andreevich Somov (beginning of the 1930's) are in the same range of 8-10 thousand dollars. Sketches of the costumes made Konstantin Korovin , are 10-12 thousand dollars.

Investors can take note of that on a number of Russian artists abroad, who «shot» a few years ago and added to the price of one hundred per cent a year, now there is «a lateral trend» - no significant increase or a noticeable drop . In particular, this applies to work Andrew Lanskoe and David Burliuk . The market now «digest» the new price level (achieved relatively recently), so growth is slow, but there are all indications for its early resumption.

If you talk about the fast-growing segment of Russian postwar art (non-art), it can be a whole galaxy of names, the work which underestimated and, consequently, has high investment potential: Ernst Unknown , Vladimir Yankilevsky , Nicholas Vechtomov , Peter Ivanovich Belenok , Vladimir Yakovlev and many others. A strong schedule of many artists Sixties is in the range of 5-10 thousand dollars, while prices for paintings are often in the range 40-200 thousand dollars. If we talk about on the accessibility of art, then take a look, for example, the paintings of artists-Sixties Igor Vulokh and Ilya Tabenkina . Their work can still be affordable, with a budget of about 10-12 thousand dollars, but soon they grow strongly in value.
