My experts sifting, the reform from below, a separate search for the answer to the question of whom to trust, are held under the auspices of the International Confederation of antique and art dealers (MKAAD, www.icaad.ru ), a trade union of workers in the art market, established in 2004.

A list of members is available MKAAD here .

Efforts to create a list of experts has started, of course, not yesterday. Several years of Confederation poll conducted antiques: in the saloons have been surveys of professionals with a view to compiling a list of competent professionals. Place of work and position of the candidate - in the private sector or the public museum, a laboratory worker or practitioner, well versed art dealer - does not have. Important were the only professional criteria. Based on data collected in surveys of Confederation formed the top experts in various fields of art. Candidates who obtain the largest number of points were put to a vote within the Confederation. Within each section of the professional expert, in accordance with the Rules Confederation were to be given 2 /3 vote and the winner receives the right to be accredited MKAAD.

So, first published the names of experts who enjoy the reputation of their subjects (usually an expert has a high competence for the creation of only two or three artists). List of certified experts Confederation antique and art dealers will widen as the professional section will bring to a vote of its experts. It is still not clear. But it certainly will not be 450-800 certified experts, both in terms of Rossvyazohrankultury. The idea of reform from the bottom - take a number ... And there too the market decide.
