For the first time! Review of records of auctions in the Russian art market

continue to sum up the year in the Russian art market. In the previous series, we remember that the most expensive painting by Russian artist, sold at auction in 2011, became a canvas Nicolas de Stael, "Reclining Nude" by 1954. Seven million euros! But then it was in France. In Russia, the pearls are traditionally smaller, but still very curious picture turned out.

Before we start summing up, the Russian specificity requires overlaid "disclaimer", I mean all sorts of caveats: not all auctions have published results, something could get away from the attention, and generally in a good need to be present at the auction in order to speak with confidence about any results. In addition, the "naked" auction result does not give important information about the atmosphere of trading, whether and to what bargain prices, many people traded. This is important. But be that as it may, the numbers are fixed, auction results Auctions published. We believe in the highlights we were right.

"Goddess of the waters" Konstantin Makovsky on May 15 "Russian Seasons" was sold for 29.7 million rubles. Dollar exchange rate at that time was at the level of 27.84 rubles.
