Collection of poems of Georgy Ivanov showed 55-кратный growth rates relative start at the auction "KABINET" June 23rd — and became the third ranking in the price of the evening

June 23 auction house "Russian enamel" held already the third in the past month and 19-е in its history, the auction "Russian poetry: from Golden age to age of the virtual".

auction Catalogue, timed to the birthday of Anna Akhmatova, this time was full of rare and first editions — and the classics of Russian literature A. S. Pushkin, M. Y. Lermontov, Silver age poets and young poets, our contemporaries (some of them with the visitors of the "literary Fund" the author reading his own works before bidding).

the Last auction in many categories became the most representative among the relevant collections of the "literary Fund" this summer. The average total score of 398 lots catalog has exceeded 17 million rubles. Only one section of the Pushkin — nine lots of rare and first editions of the poet's works — were evaluated by the specialists of "Empire" more than 7 million rubles.

Total revenue from 238 lots sold catalogue amounted to 14,022 million, or 81.5 per cent of the average total estimate directory. And again, as a week earlier, the first violin playing hall where more than 60 % of all sold — 143 lots, including 9 of the 10 most expensive lots of the day. The Internet showed the second result in our virtual rating in consumer activity, won 52 times, the 35 lots found new owners among the telephone players, and eight times (36) the victory was celebrated by owners of absentee bids.

Two of the three largest deals of the evening predictably took place in the top evaluation categories — "from 1.5 million rubles and above," the subject of both steel books of A. S. Pushkin. The three winners headed online-участник supported starting price 1 600 000 RUB for the first edition of "Boris Godunov" (1831) (lot 14). Pushkin graduated from "Boris Godunov" in 1825, however, the book is still several years could pass censorship and was released as an edition of only 24 Dec 1830, with an indication of 1831 on title page. It is the second revised edition of Pushkin's poem prisoner of the Caucasus", 1828, very rare on the Antiques market (lot 9). The book also left start, 1 500 000 RUB., but in the hall, not in the Internet. It is worth noting that 6 of the 12 sold books of A. S. Pushkin put up for auction, brought to organizers of auction of almost 3.4 million rubles. — one of the best results for publications of the main domestic classics lately.

But the real sensation was the sale of the third lot price of the day. Moreover, this increase in the price of the hammer relative to the lower estimate, and the start is so rare an event that I can't remember when I watched something similar last time. We are talking about lot 262 — is small, modestly decorated 56-страничной the book of poems "the Rose" one of the greatest poets of the Russian emigration, Georgy Vladimirovich Ivanov. A book published in the Parisian publishing house "Spring" in 1931, previously estimated at 14,000 to 15,000 rubles, and the auction began with 18, 000 absentee rate. In the struggle for possession of the lot entered three players in the hall, and once it became clear that the auction is for the book one-двумя steps will not do. Astonished exclamations in the hall began to be heard, when the rate crossed the mark of 100 000 RUB, and participants of the draw, it seemed, was not going to stop. After overcoming the mark of 500 000 RUB., tension members, and all present, has significantly increased. And the final price of 1 000 000 RUB hall and is met with shocked silence, sparse applause, and then — intense discussion of the incident. So, is 55 times higher than the start of the book, 1931, in publishing the cover and two-color dust jacket, went into the hall exactly one million rubles.

, Such price UPS — on the order of or even several tens of times — for "literary Fund" are not uncommon. It's all in the proportions. So, quite a long and productive bargaining went for a second book of poems of Konstantin Vaginov (lot 232) — Leningrad edition 1926, with a dedication to Mary Skapski. With a modest estimate of 9 000-10 000 RUB, the auction is started immediately with 50 000 rubles by correspondence rate and went into the hall for 270, 000. — almost 30 times more expensive than the original estimates.

the Most popular with the public was the collection of "Poems" by Boris Nelepo (lot 216) — is the only book of poetry published by the publishing house ACADEMIA in 1926. 2 000 RUB start fighting over it as at least six people — two participants on the phones, the two players in the hall and a few online-претендентов. As a result, the book went in for 32, 000.

Section of items related to Anna Andreevna Akhmatova, after which trades were carried out, disassembled completely, 100 %. Left all: and few of her photos, and a collection of poems, and the poem "Requiem". Gone, however, start with either a small excess.

similarly, 100% of the dismantled section of the debut books of contemporary young poets autographed by the authors. All editions (lots 359-390) exhibited at the auction of two very remarkable collections: in-первых, from the collection of photographer Ivan Filimonov, in the words of the catalogue, "the owner of probably the largest gallery of portraits of the Virtual century Russian poetry", while-вторых, from the collection of the poet's ARS-Пегаса (Arseny Molchanov) — organizer Lipanov, Literary Mondays passing week since 2009. For each book were bargaining two — party in the hall and online-игрок; 32 lot Thong they bought at prices ranging from 1 600 to 3 600 rubles.

an Unexpected addition to the catalogue is made completes the auction section of the 8 lots of the original and draw graphics (lots 391-398), six of which were rare posters "Window GROWTH Baku" 1920-х years, authorship of the poet-художника Sergei Gorodetsky. Of the six posters of the new owners found only two: "the Old world the worker was crucified, escaped Matûša in the Caspian sea. He became a Miller in Baku — hundred millionof on the side!" (lot 396) and "the Georgian spirit he brought a gift drunk — yellow international. Gegechkori PIR asked" (lot 397), sold for a starting price of 200,000 rubles to the hall and by phone respectively.

Past auction it can be attributed if not to a record, then surely the most successful auctions this summer. However, there is every chance that next, already 20-й auction "Russian enamel" will surpass the past. In the auction catalog, which will be held in the halls of the hotel "MARRIOTT Moscow Tverskaya" 14 Jul, included more than 350 lots, totaling over 20, 000, 000.
