One of the best results at the auction of rare books on the eve of world book day

April 22, on the eve of the important for every bibliophile celebration — world book day, the auction house "KABINET" held 29-е in its history, full-time rare book auction.

for the second time the auction was held at the new location — in the heart of the city, in the Garden-Кудринской street near the metro station "Mayakovskaya". Strange but true: despite the fact that the geographic availability of the auction house was improved, transport,-за a Grand reorganization of the space of the Garden ring, fell sharply. In addition to permanent traffic jams, to get to the auction room that day was also prevented by weather — rain and strong wind. And if we add to all this almost a half-hour technical hitch at the start of trading, then we would have convincing justification, such as, low turnout or the result. What-нибудь another auction house. Because of all these difficulties did not prevent the "Antiquarium" to show one of his best results this spring.

Yes-да, the excellent catalog (even two this time!) when properly working with the public may well outweigh virtually any negative factors. Because if you have something to offer and to whom, and the demand is consistently high.

All of the above illustrate and the final figures of the auction: two and a half hours of the auction time the new hand, it sold 187 (63 %) of the 297 exhibited at auction totaling more than 9.7 million rubles, — 80.3% of the average total estimate. A large part sold, 70 of 187 lots, bought this time a dozen people gathered in the hall, 59 lots went to Internet-участникам, 25 — to participants by phone, and 33 times won the absentee rate.

it Seems that in Moscow there is a new auction fashion: 29-е auction "Antiquarium" was organized in the customary format of two sessions with continuous numbering of lots. Each session was accompanied by a well-organized self-catalogue is divided into thematic Thong.

If the interest of the implementation of lots the two sessions showed the result at the level (a little above and a little below) 60 %, then the amount of money earned in the digital and a percentage of unquestionably won the second part of the auction.

the First part of the auction — "Rare and valuable books, "children's world" posters and banners" — played forty minutes. That's how much time it took the auctioneer, "the Cabinet" to clear, but not too fast pace to sell into new hands more than 57% (47 of 82) of the first lots catalog. Total cost of lots sold amounted to almost 2.3 million, or 51.3 % of the average estimate of lots. More than half of revenue, 1.2 million rubles has brought to organizers of the opening session of the section "Rare books" of 30 lots. The most expensive lot of this section was a collection of poems "Poems 1879-1885" Grand Duke Konstantin Konstantinovich (lot 20) with a dedicatory inscription by the author to the Minister of foreign Affairs of Russia in 1896-1897. N. P. Shishkin: from 120 thousand rubles from the start to the dispute of the hall, the Internet and the phone book went over the last 170 thousand rubles. Surprisingly, the most significant increase in prices relative to start (almost three times), also showed the verses, or rather, "Works in prose and verse" K. N. Batiushkov in two parts, published in the printing Glazunov in 1834 (lot 8). Starting with 30 thousand, in the fight for the lot was enteredseveral participants in the Internet, a couple of players in room and telephone. Best win: 87.5 thousand rubles, barely half a step up to a round sum, two volumes took one of the full-time players.

In the section of children's books it was a bit more modest 17 of 33 lots of strings were sold in total for 350 thousand rubles, an average of about 20 thousand rubles for the lot.

Terminating the first session of trading section "Posters and banners", sold less than half, but it was shown two of the most high result of the first part of the auction. Champions in it are two posters of Boris Kustodiev for the play in 1926 on the play by E. I. Zamyatin's "flea" in the statement 2-го Theater (lot 81) and BDT (lot 82). Both lots were drawn in two steps between the hall and the phone and got the last one for 220 thousand rubles for the lot.

the Second session of the auction started with the digits of a different order. @Ndashдругому probably could not be. Opening a large session of 50 lots, section "Autographs, letters, manuscripts" collected, apparently, all personalities, able to interest the bibliophile. Total revenues Thong (almost 3.15 million rubles) amounted to one third of the total revenue of the day. To illustrate the scale of what was happening in the auction room, it is enough to recall three of the most expensive result of the partition. For 1.35 million rubles, from the start to 800 thousand absentee rate, after a long, step and half-step bargaining in the hall was sold to a third collection of poems by Marina Tsvetaeva's "two books" (lot 84) with an inscription by author Mirra Balmont, daughter of the poet K. Balmont. Just a few lots later, and also from the market one of the online-игроков was lucky enough to buy for 900 thousand rubles handwritten album 1919-1952 years of Faith by E. Arens with autographs, poems and drawings of many famous people of the era: Anna Akhmatova, Vsevolod Rozhdestvensky, Nicholas Punina, etc. (lot 88). In third place — autograph of Vladimir Mayakovsky 1920-х years on the letterhead of the hotel "Oxford Hotel & Cambridge" (lot 89): from 60 thousand rubles, start by absentee rate lot was sold by telephone to five times more expensive for 310 thousand rubles.

Description of the section "the Nobel laureates" (lots 153-198), it was interesting even just to read in the directory. What is the enumeration name: Ivan Bunin, Mikhail Sholokhov, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, A. Sakharov, A. Einstein and M. Gorbachev. However, the most popular were books and documents, connected with the names of Boris Pasternak and Brodsky. A set of five lots of autographs and editions of Boris Pasternak were sold between room, phone and Internet at full strength for 665 thousand rubles. Moreover, for each lot fought at least three people. Most expensive fans of creativity of Pasternak evaluated a set of three postcards and two letters 1940-х years, addressed to the poet and translator Leo Dligach (lot 158). With 100 thousand rubles absentee start, breaking the resistance of several opponents on the Internet a lot, paying him 200 thousand rubles, took the party in the hall.

Of the 24 lots of autographs, drawings and books of Joseph Alexandrovich Brodsky bought 21 lots totaling 1,983 million. The most expensive here (and the third price for the entire evening) was the autograph of Brodsky typewritten, early (and different from canonical) version of the poem "message in a bottle" in 1964 (lot 172). Starting from 100 thousand rubles absentee rate, the opponents in the hall and on the phone were implacable duel until then, until the price rose to 650 thousand rubles. The victory was celebrated by the phone.

In the section "Poets and artists" were mostly for the lots of average and most affordable price range (helped by a very affordable starts from 4 thousand rubles). More expensive things disperse without a fight and absentee rates. So, for 100 thousand rubles went interesting object — book-свиток "Psalm Saul" Yu. with the poem of N. Kononova (lot 224), starting bid of 250 thousand rubles was a winning one and to another absentee bidder who purchased lot 231 — painted portrait of Oleg Okhapkina brush N. Zilina (Suginoi).

In thongs samizdat and tamizdat completing the auction, it sold in total 23 of the 39 lots, almost all at the start or from the market in one-два step. With a few exceptions. Unexpectedly high, almost 10 times the lower estimate and twice the starting distance rates, for 100 thousand roubles was sold to one of the last lots directory — the set of three lifetime samizdatovskikh books of Sergey Dovlatov autographed by the author on two of them (lot 294). Four times higher the start in 60 thousand rubles on the phone had left another collection, self-published three books of poems and songs Henri volkonskogo. Finally, for 32 thousand rubles from the start of absentee rate of 10 thousand rubles for the phone was sold a portrait of Vladimir Nabokov, dated 16 Jan 1977 — one of the last photographs of the writer (lot 287).
