On the eve of the first non-book trading director Sergei Burmistrov and auction curator Anatoly guest told AI, the auction plans to win the attention of non-book collectors

Auction" in Nikitsky » was not yet a year old, but happy with the result of the organizers, he became one of the major auctions of antiquarian books, earned a good reputation among bibliophiles and held the record for the amount of trading books (28 March), the total sales of which, including the collection of the auction, will be about 150 million rubles. And surprise: April 25, "In the Nikitsky" will hold its first auction of paintings, drawings and decorative arts. That is, without books. More than 200 selected lots, and, judging by the mood of the organizers, it should be something.

How auction plans to win the attention of non-book collectors, portal ARTinvestment.RU said CEO Auction "In the Nikitsky" Sergei Burmistrov and curator Anatoly Gostev.

ARTinvestment.RU: The main question is why did you decide to turn to painting? We see from that segment of this very difficult. Compare, the same medals: one can count up to 60 people in the audience, a tight negotiating with more than 10 customers, as well as the final percentage of care at 60. Here are the books you have, too, so good. A painting can be expected in the other: in the hall of 20 people, three of them traded, 40 percent of care is a good indicator. Among other things, a new auction necessarily imply adjustment period when collectors come, look, they buy bad, whatever the raschudesny directory. So now explain why you decided to enter the market of painting?

Sergei Burmistrov: All right. It's all over the world like: collectors are inert, they are long accustomed. We were particularly interested to see the results of this auction, because in terms of the quality of the collected material, he turned in a sense, a landmark. Collected really rare and important paintings, drawings and decorative arts. So I do not know whether to buy, but collectors should definitely notice it.

AI: The first person to draw attention to you - the professionals, not collectors. And professionals need a good price.

C. B. : We try to give an attractive price. On the other hand, in the upcoming auction is so unique things that the price will not be decisive.

AI: Preliminary work was carried out with collectors?

C. B. : We have connections mainly in the book world, so we hope the dissemination of information to the press and advertising. On the other hand, we know that the information is already spreading among collectors. Things exhibited many collectors do not know, they never or have not put up for sale.

Anatoly Gostev: You know the specifics of the market it is important that thing was not "zasmotrennoy." 99 percent of those offered for auction items - works that are not offered and not walking on the dealers. How do we know? The catalog includes a significant part of the collection, which was about 35 years old and did not go to the market. Selling due to the fact that the three collectors spend "change of scenery" - moving from Russian art in Europe.

AI: Well, now it is just a trend. And what is the reason? Themselves also go to Europe?

A. G. : No, I just changed interests. Russian art is difficult to collect. Market painting and drawing is pretty much exhausted, new things do not appear.

AI: An important question: what guarantees do you provide to the buyer?

A. G. : We have with each object is intensively working team of experts. If required by the buyer ordered a detailed expert opinion. We are working on the first auction only with the painting of the twentieth century, and our experts are Mihienko Tatiana and Tatiana Lewin, who are engaged in this period in the Tretyakov Gallery. As for graphics, it helps us Olga Glebova, who used to work in GRC them. Grabar. Well, and for arts and crafts meets yours truly (Anatoly Matveevich guests - chief specialist estate museum "Ostafyevo", chairman of the Center for Graphic Arts, curator of the auction house "in Nikitsky." In 1991-1992, he worked at the auction house " ART-2000 ", and in 1992-1999 was the art director of the art-house" Gamayun ». - AI .).

AI: A you do not put a condition for the deliverer, the thing for you to come to the auction with the expert opinion?

A. G. : We check the item easier than her expert opinion. The more that is given today in our market as an expert opinion, those are actually not.

C. B. : Each piece is our in-house expertise, and we guarantee an honest attitude to the subject.

AI: Then this: that you take as a reason to return ?

C. B. : The rules do not change, remain the same as in our book auctions "in Nikitsky." If the customer confirms by two independent expert reports that the item is fake or does not match the description, he is entitled to a refund.

We have assembled a group of experts with experience in leading specialized organizations which prepares us all descriptions. If a person wants to auction to make an examination, and confirm this pledge, we will order it for detailed expert advice in GRC them. Grabar. If the person is buying a negative expert opinion of GRC, we regard it as an accident and take the item back. According to our rules are covered for the year.

AI: «In the Nikitsky" now completely associated with the books. Do you plan to auction painting choose a separate name?

C. B. : No, not so be it - the auction "in Nikitsky." A little later, I think we will come to the antique market with a new brand. He is now at the stage of development and approval.

AI: planning to start painting, you conducted a study of the competitive environment?

C. B. : No, I'm sure it can be made in full. We focus on the quality of the material. I watched many catalogs of auctions that are held here. So here is our first auction will be in the class above. A planned second and third. I extrapolated the situation with the other books in the antiques and collectibles: a year to know us, they saw the sale, and suffered some crazy rarities. Here, I hope, will be the same.

AI: Do you think that the problem of auction painting - it's more an organizational problem, not a problem as such demand?

C. B. : In the interesting Russian things, of which there are very few, the demand is always there. Vase Imperial Porcelain Factory, which was decorated interior Elaginskogo palace - a unique museum-quality thing. Collectors can not pay attention to such things. There are different ways. Could start trading average commodity could invest 100,000 dollars in advertising.

AI: ... and give you something, by and large, no place to ...

C. BS: ... yes, we chose a different path.

A. G. : If the auction of the same content, we could be held in Paris and London, he would have been one hundred percent successful. And would buy the same people.

AI: Why with the same effectiveness is not sold here? The problem in the objects, or a problem in the general situation of economic and political? There is still the question of how to take out in case of what?

C. B. : The problem with the situation too. But also psychological. People go to the West to entertain, willing to buy and sell a dealer here. Nevertheless, serious things to buy here. And also bought abroad and imported here. By the way, we have such thoughts - we'll be thinking about how to open a branch abroad. But first you need to see how things are going here.

AI: What office in the West? To conduct auctions there?

C. B. : And sell it and gain the collection.

AI: Tell us more about the profile of the upcoming first auction.

C. B. : Will painting of the first half and middle of XX century, graphics XVI - XX centuries and DPI from XVIII century. In painting will P. Konchalovsky , A. Kuprin , A. Udaltsov , A. A. Plastov - more than 20 lots. Top lot - A. Shevchenko , 1930, titled "They." For each of the listed provenance - almost all of the shops or from the artist's family, with confirmation from the heirs. For example, painting and graphics Kuprin - from the family Barabanov, direct heirs Kuprin. Work C. V. Gerasimov acquired in the artist's studio in Mozhaisk before it became a museum.

AI: Who you will auctioneer?

C. B. : Andrew Haase, his crazy schedule, but we've met, all painted.

AI: What kind of price range? What audience do you expect?

C. B. : Insane prices will not. Altman this level, as we in the West would have cost thousands of seventy dollars, and we estimate will be 12,000 dollars. With a guarantee of authenticity. Commemorative visit Peter I the Paris Mint in 1717, which should be much more expensive, we will have exhibited for 10 thousand dollars, with no reserve. Why do we do this? Because sometimes the owner put the thing on the normal price, and in the course of work with the thing gathered details that enhance its value. For example, the owner of the coin figured it later copy and deliverer Altman previously acquired its original figure, considering it a poster. Price agreed with the owners.

AI: That serious moment. We here have complained that there is no place to spend 100 thousand dollars. I would have spent it on a price reduction. You can buy them powers. If the owner does not agree to the low start, you can close the difference with their money.

C. B. : We have done a little differently. We tried for their items to make some discoveries. Given these findings, some things turned out in fact, put cheap.

AI: In your experience, there is growing number of applicants in absentia? Not on the phone, and it is in absentia.

C. B. : We are going to move away from the part of the practice. Let me explain why. We have a number of regular customers who trust us to bargain on their behalf. And there are random people who rely on the Internet and do not purchase the items won. Legally, we are yet powerless. Fortunately, this applies to only 2-3 percent of the lots. We have already formed a black list, which in the near future we plan to publish on the site. However, due to bad "zaochku" we lose real rates. Starting this auction-time students from beginners we ask to provide passport information and possibly recommendations from other auctions.

AI: Are there too many conditions? Simply disable participate in absentia.

C. B. : No, you have to give people a chance. But make them do some effort to control herself. If we bet you do, then be prepared to take the next step and send the passport data. But with the growth of part-time rates and risks of new customers, of course, increase.

AI: Many believe that the auction in Moscow already, the competition is high. Although France employs 400 auctions, and we give God all the 15 on Moscow and St. Petersburg ...

C. B. : So when people tell me what is our high level of competition, I find it funny. It is clear that our market is relatively closed. But Russia - a big country and there are many wealthy people who are interested in art and history.

AI: The wire will be in my office or in the pathetic place of the "Marriott" or "national »?

C. B. : will conduct at home. We believe that people need to invite. And the pathos is not needed. Will attract high-quality material.

AI: Thank you. Able to speak of many things, let's summarize. So picturesque auction is scheduled for April 25, April 2 already have a directory of trading. Feature is that things are sold collectible and nezasmotrennye. At the insistence of the buyer can arrange for the account detailed examination. The reason for the return is negative expert opinion "Grabar". Auction name remains the same - "The Nikitsky." Some of the top lots can be viewed below.

Good luck to your new endeavor and good you debut.
