The rating of record sales of living Russian artists in Moscow and St. Petersburg: a lot of young people and little of the sixties

the original idea of the rating was to collect top-25 just the results of living Russian artists. And it turns out that rank Western living we found while on our — no. Ashamed, sat down and calculated their. But it turned out that top-25 of living Russian artists largely repeats top-20 our sixties. Therefore, for the sake of interest, the selection criteria decided ukloniti@

came Up with the following. Since our Department is in the WTO did not enter and is not going, we famously introduced the "customs ban": so in the ranking were not only living Russian artists, but also that the results were only recorded for internal Russian aukcionai@

After some thought in addition to the rating it was decided to include results only for the relevant historical period. The result was that the oldest record dates back to 2006. Otherwise I would have had to slip into ancient legends like Moscow Sotheby's in 1988 (which was formally a Russian auction).

As is often the case, the closure of the "imports" have created this problem ourselves. In the Russian auctions in comparison with the West, unfortunately, much less order and information transparency. In previous years our homes auction results are often not published and was not provided. Often information had to be collected manually. In addition, it is possible that even among the official results must be seeing in a sense "drawn". Nothing can be done: the market is our young, rules, and structures are only forming. The work to make it better. In short, dear readers, do not judge strictly and treat this rating as to information and-развлекательному. Moreover, the list turned out not bezinteresno@

For the sake of simplicity, the results were sorted by prices in terms of US dollars at the exchange rate at the date sdelki@
