ARTinvestment.RU   10 марта 2017

Sold out posters of the Civil war period and the first years of Soviet power. Collection of Felix Medvedev brought to 138 % of the average total estimate

the auction house "KABINET" on March 2, joined in two sessions with two completely different collecting direction — posters and prints of the First world war, the revolutionary events of the Civil war in Russia and first years of Soviet power was in the company of books written by women from the collection of renowned collector and journalist Felix Medvedev. The result of this unusual symbiosis can be considered positive: the hammer went almost 42 % of the lots (87 of 211) for a total of about RUB 4.5 million (45% of the average total estimate).

Actively proved to phone the players: they got a 31 lot. On absentee rates was purchased 26 lots. Power players in the hall and via the Internet were approximately equal: in these categories participants got lots 14 and 16, respectively.

In the framework of the first poster session of trading on March 2 (lots 1-175) sold lot 64 of the 174 (37 %) for a total amount of slightly more than 4 million rubles (42 % of the mean estimate). However, at first I had the impression that the percentage of care will be much lower. All because he opened the auction large (over 100 lots) section prints and posters of the First world war. And here it managed to implement only about 20 % of the lots. One gets the impression that while preparing themselves in the ceremonies commemorating the centenary of the outbreak of the First world war in 2014, the theme of popular prints of this period themselves fully exhausted. Who would have bought her coveted collection of instances, and the second copy of the collectors without the need ("we're not the Lenin library", — aptly put by one of the collectors in the room, when he was offered to purchase another copy of the woodcut in addition to the existing).

the Interest of collectors managed to win a number of foreign posters during the First world war (French and American). Phone buyers bought them for a starting price in the range of 40 to 50 thousand rubles And soon reached the turn to posters during the October revolution, the Civil war and the first years of Soviet power, and these themes proved to be far more popular than the First world. Of the 67 lots found new owners of 47 (70 %) for a total of 3.68 million RUB (61 % of the estimate).

for Example, have been well sold poster D. S. moor "of Petrograd will not give up!" 1919 (Ed. Politur. R. V. S. R.). Internet argue, do not argue with participant correspondence: the bidding stopped at 220 thousand in the evaluation of 180-190 thousand rubles. And soon after, another poster Moore, "the Whites and the deserter", Demian Poor Internet, telephone and zaochku traded from 115 to 190 thousand. — won a phone buyer.

For the poster by the artist V. N. Denis "Kosi in-время", estimated at 48-50 thousand RUB, the participant traded to 180 thousand RUB Lot exceeded the estimate more than tripled. Another successful sale — 240 thousand rubles for the poster I. Malyutina with text by Vladimir Mayakovsky "If you don't want to return to the past — rifle in hand! On the Polish front!". Traded for him a couple of telephones and correspondence rate. The poster still got zaochke — twice as expensive as the estimates (estimate 115-120 thousand rubles). And online-игрокам lucky to 137-м lot: a rare poster in Armenian, "Whip you into the abyss alone!" (Armenian State publishing house, 1920-е ) Internet managed-таки to snatch the phone of the buyer. However, had to pay almost four times above estimate (the result of 110 thousand руб.; estimate of 28-30 thousand rubles).

And similar results (much higher and even at times more pre-assessment) in the section of revolutionary posters and their ilk was quite a lot. Therefore, the total revenue of the entire session posters tightened up healthy marks (if you focus on the overall market conditions).

the Last power chord in the first session of the auction was selling for 250 thousand poster by Dmitry moor's "Expose the anti-Soviet plans of the capitalists and the Church. Long live world proletarian revolution!" 1932. Lot start bought a telephone party. This, incidentally, was the most expensive lot of all trades.

the Entire second session of the auction (lots 176-211), dedicated to International women's day, brought a total of only 201 thousand rubles, but, of course, was the event as exhibited at auction was the publication of the collection of the famous journalist and writer Felix Medvedev (1941). Felix Nikolaevich personally observed and recorded on-camera during the auction. The total went under the hammer 23 of the 36 lots, and the proceeds amounted, as we have already mentioned in the announcement, 138 % of the total estimate. And although it was on very small amounts (the most expensive lot of the trading session — collection of poems by Bella Akhmadulina "Mystery" autographed and author's corrections — was sold for 34 thousand RUB when you start from 12 thousand rubles), wanting to buy a book from the collection of Felix Medvedev was set. Very actively traded in the hall, and by phone, and via the Internet. In addition to the aforementioned autograph Akhmadulina, for 26 thousand rubles. was sold quite popular at the time the novel David Lawrence's "lady Chatterley's Lover" (estimeyt 8-10 thousand rubles). For the first edition of the novel in Russian language (Berlin: Petropolis, 1932), several Internet players grabbed so recklessly that the final price was almost three times higher than the preliminary assessment.
