for the Moscow World Fine Art we follow with from their first visit to Moscow in 2004 . Then, during the unprecedented rise of the Russian market, the best picture of the world (including the "Marlboro", "Minotaur", "Ian Kuzhe" "Diteskhaym" etc.) were brought for sale a truly outstanding works of world museum level. Moscow buyers can reserve up to further exports and design masterpieces by Francis Bacon (then ask for them only 4 million dollars), Nicholas de Stael ($ 3 million), and more , Picasso, Dali, Polyakov and many others. It is hard to resist not to recall that for the past 8 years the price of comparable class works of these artists have grown by 5-10 times. Following its successful salon organized by Yves Bouvier and his ArtCulture Studio, became regular and set a new benchmark for similar events in Russia: the format of the presentation of objects to the concept of stand decoration.

Unfortunately, after 2008 crisis broke shops. Probably, the risks have grown so much that the economy is no longer withstand the event.

And in this year's fair is resumed - December 14, has just launched the sixth The International Fine Art . In the pavilion "Forum" at the Expocentre come more than 50 galleries, auction houses and jewelry firms. Without the direct involvement of Bouvier next fair does little other French team. And on some details ARTinvestment.RU in good Russian said organizer and president of the Salon Amory Chomet.

ARTinvestment.RU: Salon is held by the same name, but changed organizer . We factor the team traditionally given high importance. Who are the new people?

Amory Chomet: Yes, in the past organized Salon Yves Bouvier of ArtCulure Studio, and the CEO was Sikstin Crutchfield. We are very familiar with them, to work together, including the project of the International Fine Art Fair. As you know, in 2008 the decision was taken to suspend the salon. But just four years, we continue to talk, the Willow is a lot of other projects that he personally could not do it, but we decided together to renew the salon.

AI: That is, in fact, you're friends?

A. Sh: Yes. I also transport company that serves the exhibition deals with the customs clearance and transportation of works of art. I myself have worked for 20 years in Russia. Bouvier therefore considered that we can handle, and helped us - we consulted with Sikstin Crutchfield on specific to the organization of the event. In fact, over the organization of the sixth salon has both the old and the new team. Bouvier help and contacts, and links. Sales booths also engaged former team.

AI: Are you planning the Salon in Russia or in other countries too? Think, for example, about China?

A. Sh: At the moment, only think about Russia. I've lived here a long time and know her well. About other countries, can, think later, but I'm a realist - I wonder what's going on now.

AI: On the face has changed a lot of participants. Hard to be collected?

A. Sh: I recall that the first Salon Yves managed to collect about 20 galleries. Now, for the first time after the resumption of the Salon, we will have more than 50 participants. Frankly, we were rather late decision to resume Salon - almost exclusively in March. There were many reasons. We have been waiting for answers from the sites of the same Manege. In addition, the situation morphed elections in France, when it is difficult to communicate with gallery owners. It was only in March began selling seats to the participants. In the end, I think, 50-60 participants - this is a very good result for renewed action. Always in doubt, you can fill in a reserved area. And we were able to.

AI: Why as a site chosen pavilion "Forum" Expocentre?

A. Sh: We are at one time held talks with the former leadership of the Manege, then, as you know, there is a reorganization. There was a meeting option Gostiny Dvor, but he did not come because of the complexities of security. A Complex Expocentre - good place there at this time, besides us, will not pass other exhibitions. For visitors will be provided a separate entrance from the promenade to the pavilion "Forum". In addition, the Fairgrounds is already a permanent customs area, as opposed to an arena, which she is not. All this increases the convenience of the organization.

AI: It turns out that the system will be the same as before - the temporary import?

A. Sh: Yes, temporary importation.

AI: This means that the buyer in Moscow can only agree to the deal. And to conclude it and take a picture, it must take abroad, there to make a purchase, and then reimport. And if a person agrees to bear the additional costs, but wants to take a picture immediately after paying all fees, it is possible?

A. Sh: Let's be honest: it is theoretically possible, but practically this does not happen. Therefore there is no need to dream: really have to take a picture and bring back. It will take a maximum of two weeks.

AI: How do you invite the gallery? What was the criteria?

A. Sh: First of all invited participants of previous Shows, those involved in the TEFAF and other large fairs. The result was that about 70%- a European participants (from France, Italy, Spain, UK, Germany, Switzerland, USA, etc.), and 30%- Russian. There are also antique, old masters, and there are contemporary. Gallery owners bring work , Monet, Leger, Picasso, Warhol and other artists. Will be presented and furniture, and jewelry segment.

AI: salon four years ago, has been suspended for economic reasons. What has changed? You feel the growing demand? Evaluated the activities of competitors?

AS: We feel the demand and see the opportunity - this niche is still unoccupied. Unlike Antique Salon in CHA level represents our items will be much higher.

AI: You have more international experience. How much more difficult to organize such an event in Russia compared to other countries?

A. Sh: In Russia, perhaps the most difficult customs. In terms of corruption, nothing prevents us, because we are working with the regime of temporary import, and there is no fee. Prevent complex administrative procedures, a lot of paperwork. Here's an example. Other tournaments are buying stands. But sometimes they are up to the last moment did not know whether a particular painting will go to the fair in Russia or maybe immediately to an exhibition in New York.

AI: This is another thing. We have had cases where some fairs galleries are empty stands. That is, the event is already in progress, and the work does not pass customs.

A. Sh: This comes from a misunderstanding. We know how to properly execute documents and undergo procedures to have everything in order. But some Western art dealers simply send goods, like in the States or in Europe - think now send quickly, and there, on the spot, all decide. In Russia, you can not do.

AI: We have this year a number of Russian galleries refused to participate in Antique Salon. Probably because it is expensive. And do you like more? You compared the prices of participation in your salon and antique shops in the CHA?

A. Sh: We have more, but I do not know the details. And compared to our salon four years ago, prices rose slightly.

AI: Before opening is two weeks. When published a list of the participants? Theoretically, if you wish can still have time to participate Russian galleries?

A. Sh: As far as I know, no longer exists, all the seats are sold out. The list of participants was published about a month ago. Everything is already fixed, and we can not change the design. It is used for general construction stands. Previously, foreigners were built, and now it is building a Russian company.

AI: Will be Fine Arts in the coming year? You plan it as a one-time event or it will become a regular?

A. Sh: We are working to ensure that the salon has become an annual event. Time will tell, but for now we are doing our plans.
