One of the leaders of the world gallery market, the U.S. Gagosian Gallery, presented in the «village of luxury» (Barvikha Luxury Village) of the first names of post-modernism and contemporary art.

Barvikha Luxury Village - a set of unusual roadside low buildings carried out in a single architectural style. No raznoboya, all the buildings the same height and finished with dark wood from the outside. Some is still under construction - wood, working, inarticulate entry. But after godik when we will clean, the idea should be open to all scheduled splendor. At the eighth kilometer Rublevo Assumption highway company Mercury has built «village luxury», a prestigious mall consumption. Shops Ferrari, Maserati, Harley Davidson, Prada, Bvlgari, Chopard - much of what you want young millionaire - cars, motorcycles, clothes, yuvelirka, tasty food. The status of art, luxury and status of «Ferrari» and much more expensive, until recently, was not. Now would be. One of the leaders of the world gallery market, the U.S. Gagosian Gallery, presented in the «village luxury» of the first names of post-modernism and contemporary art.

Nine years of economic growth, the second largest in the world for the export of oil, and fifty-three billionaire (five years ago, it was seven) with a total state of about three hundred billion dollars and thousands of millionaires - these successes are forcing the leaders of the capitalist market gallery make a throw to East, by the «go to the people». Especially against the backdrop of the interim financial pessimism overseas buyers.

agency Bloomberg aptly noticed that among the works of Gagosyana called Insight? will only «blue chips» art market: Pablo Picasso, Arshil Gorky, Willem de Kuninga, Andy Warhol, Roy Lichtenstein, a sponsor of the most expensive contemporary works - Damien Hurst, Jeff Koons, Takashi Murakami, Richard Prince, Sesili Brown, John Karrin , Jenny Sevilla, etc. A total of thirty artists, and about forty works: painting, drawing, sculpture, photography and even furniture design (the seat of the Marc Newson). Things picked up for the convenience of inexperienced buyers: Any purchase, albeit with a significant overpayment, it is unlikely that money will be released. All the names - have already taken place. In what mode it is sold, this is still difficult to say. It can be assumed that, as in the case of temporary importation of the cabin at the Moscow Fine Arts, the exhibition will only be a platform for negotiations. A self closing transactions will be conducted abroad. However, this is a technical point: people can have otovarivatsya Gagosyana know how processed these transactions.

The exhibition will be open from 18 to 28 October 2007, but on the first night will open only for specially invited persons. Mode: Tuesday to Saturday from 12 to 19 hours.

Of the names you can mention one of the leaders of the American abstract expressionism Arshila Gorky (1904-1948), née Vozdanika Adoyana, an artist of Armenian descent, emigrated to the States from the Caucasus since 1915. For us, the name is not on hearsay, but for American Art is very important. Today, some good work Arshila Gorky (pseudonym chosen by one of the versions, in honor of proletarian writer) can cost about five million dollars. But prices are highly dependent on the quality and time. It is believed that the most powerful paintings and drawings the artist created in the years 1936-1946. But much more important is the quality of a particular thing and its origins. Thing is quite weak and vague document can cost ten times cheaper than a solid work. Background work is important for confidence in its authenticity. Gorki many forged and, after a fire in his studio in 1946 made possible the emergence of a significant number of additional works under the guise of a miracle survivors.

For the real strong and great things Arshila Hills investment prospects very good. Taken in such cases, estimates of the statistics artprice.com does not exist yet, but the empirical price dynamics - about 20 percent a year.

Late in 1979, graphic de Kuninga - another cult figure in American abstract expressionism. Interestingly, the painter of Dutch origin «caught a wave», are believed to be under the influence Arshila Hills. A year ago at the State Hermitage Museum exhibition was later de Kuninga works - just the 1980's, but only painting. Then D, wrote that the most valuable period of creativity Kuninga be 1950-1960. Later, the artist lost much of its reckless energy, inherent in, for example, the monochrome «alcoholic period». In the seventies-eighties of last century work De Kuninga become much more bright and cheerful, and there are collectors who prefer this mood in his works. Unlike Gorky, de Kuninga to have statistics. It is estimated artprice.com, suspended $ 100 invested in the creativity of the artist in early 2003, had become by mid-2007 at 283 dollars.

Since it came on the historical price dynamics, again artprice.com resulting estimates of cost, a number of contemporary artists since 2003. Sub $ 100 then become suspended in 462 dollar - for Demiena Hirst, in the $ 235 - to Richard Prince.

It should be noted that the purchase of works of contemporary art world - the fashion is quite new for Russia. In our country, buyers have traditionally preferred the figurative paintings, still lifes, landscape paintings, predominantly by Russian artists. Gallery is working in a new segment, naperechet. Bloomberg, quoting Gary Tatintsyan, the owner of the famous homonymous gallery, that the ordinary buyer of expensive contemporary Western art serves persons under 40 years of banking business or profession, knowing two or three languages, purposeful, ambitious, spreading their energy and competitiveness as a business, as well as the collecting of art. It is quite understandable. Like the fact that rich people postarshe increasingly pay attention to the Impressionists and the Western European paintings, the price levels which are already quite comparable to estimates of the same American modernists. But the growing interest in modern Western art as a particularly striking. Events much. Thus, in the gallery recently Tatintsyan the exhibition marked the German neoekspressionista Andre Buttsera, exhibition ends in October, the representative of Brit-art, the famous party saatchevskoy «sensation» Martin Maloney, and ahead, in November, - «Russian project» American photographer Vik Myunisa. Since October, the same in neighboring Ukraine, whose clear PinchukArtCentre, you can see the colors of the modern Western art - again Demiena Hirst, Jeff Koons, Antony Gormley, Andreas Gurska, Marc Quinn, Takashi Murakami and others. Trend, but ...
