Sold 59%of the lots. Graphic string was sold by 70%. Heated debate over etchings Shishkin, watercolors and Benoit Albert china plate with African patterns Alexander Yakovlev

« Kabinet" opened February 26 th 2014 year auction bids " Russian paintings and drawings XIX-XX centuries ." In the saleroom , the CHA was , as usual, crowded - to admire the collection of fine art ( which this time struck me as particularly successful ) people came to about thirty or even forty . Active buyers while the hall was not much more lots participants get the phone (phones took 51 exhibition hall, a hall - 27 lots ; zaochku - 20 lots ) . Yet walking on such auctions even as a spectator still worth it - if only to see things with his own eyes , until they moved to private collections .

A look at what . " Cabinet " managed to bring together artists museum entirely - Ivan I. Shishkin , I. Levitan , Nikolai N. N. Dubovsky , Bogolyubov , Yu Yu Clover , Nesterov , P. Krymova , R. R. Falk , Benoit , A. E. Yakovlev Downloads and others , though not all . Many lots with seven- estimeytami with and stood pat, counted listing 19 lots more million rubles, of which changed hands only six. That this is not due to the highest percentage of care for the money - 30.5 %of the mean estimate. But in terms of sales volume the result is great : lots sold 98 of 165 (59%) . Provided such good statistics primarily works on paper and cardboard - about 70 %of these products spread among the new owners (I say "about" because a number of works on paper and cardboard made ​​in mixed media , and therefore include them unconditionally to painting or graph difficult). Total revenue of the auction was 18.8 million rubles, it is almost twice as much as the first " scenic " auction " Cabinet " in 2013 (then gain by selling 9.5 million rubles ).

Support at public auction perfectly acted thong lithographs Plouchard ( items 2-5), and etchings by Ivan Shishkin ( items 1, 8-15 ) . Lithography Plouchard with views of St. Petersburg were bought without a fight to start with a phone party - from 55 thousand rubles apiece. But for etchings Shishkin applicants had argued - as a result 6 of 7 lots thong left exceeding the estimate . For example , etching " First Snow " was bought by a party in the hall for 120 thousand rubles at the start to 50,000 . Total Draw graphics Shishkin earned 689,000 rubles - more than the estimate 393-585 thousand rubles .
