ARTinvestment.RU   16 декабря 2015

The structure of the upper price segment directions are approximately the same as last year, and confirms that the sixties and contemporary art today de-факто are the driving force of the internal market

Almost six months have passed since the publication of our rating "Top-12 paintings and drawings in Russian auctions in 1-м half of the year 2015", the leader is not changed, but the rest of the list has been significantly renewed.

As we thought? Took the most expensive work of Russian auctions from our database as of 15 December 2015 (in the remaining days of December, it will take a couple of auctions, but it is unlikely that they-то already change). Without the Commission's auction houses. Then the currency price is counted in roubles at a Central Bank rate at the date of the transaction. Sorted the list by price in rubles (since we have to live in a new reality). And finally, excluded from the rating of the second work Faibisovich, a second job Pyles (we have the principle: one author — one job), and lot, consisting of 96 etchings by Chagall, sold at auction "Three centuries".

Which follows from rating:

1. The most expensive work of the Russian auction market in 2015 will remain the canvas "In memory of" Seeds Faibisovich, in the past Gorkovskoe member of the "twenty" Malaya Gruzinskaya, 28, and now the flagship of the gallery "Regina".

2. For the second consecutive year in the Russian top is not even close to masterpieces-миллионников, that is, works whose prices would approximate close to a million dollars. 6-7 million rubles at the current time — is the ultimate dream.

3. Last year the cheapest picture from the top-10 cost 113 000 us dollars, and this year, about the same cost the most expensive.

4. 5 from top 10-лотов in the ranking of the buyers at the auction "SOVKOM". The results of the remaining divided and AI VLADEY Auction.

5. The structure of the upper price segment directions are approximately the same as last year: 40 % — Russian classics, 30 % — contemporary art, 20 % — sixties and 10 % — the first half of the twentieth century. The sixties and the eighties today de-факто are the driving force of the market.
