At the art market during the crisis will not azhiotazhnoy struggle, a sharp rise in prices and giperpremy auction - all will buy at launch is estimated that the owner believes the biggest Russian auction house «Sovkom» Yuri Tyuhtin.

«For auction houses, including us, come the bad times. Profit auction houses (the commission) is directly dependent on the number of transactions and the number of transactions will soon be reduced in time », - told in an interview with RIA Novosti Tyuhtin. «But - as the agency continued its companion - I look at it with optimism, as the market becomes more professional».

Yuri Tyuhtin believes that such a successful bid, as in the past year or two until it is: «As from next spring auction catalogs will be much thinner, and the profits of even such giants as Christie's and Sotheby ' s will drop significantly. It is a natural process, the fittest survive, and hope we'll be one of them ».

In this last auction «Triumph of socialist realism», which took place in the gallery «Sovkom» October 25, to the surprise of the owner, has proved extraordinarily successful. It was sold about 80 percent work for a total of about four million dollars. Top lots: picture Pimenova «Boris Pasternak. Thaw », which is rated at 7,5-12 million rubles left over 8 million rubles, the two work Alexander Deineka - canvas« Running girl »1941, with the estimate of 15-20 million rubles, and sketch a picture« Bather »estimeytom to 10-15 million rubles, were bought after hectic bidding for the 18 and 25 million rubles, respectively.

Top-fathomable next auction «Russian and Western European art of XIX - XX centuries», which will be held November 12 in the gallery «Sovkom», will be «Genisaretskoe Lake» Nicholas Roerich , as well as the series« From the Life of Christ » Polenov Basil , landscape-level museum evaluated in 16,5-22 million rubles.

Despite the fact that art dealers come difficult times, the agency interlocutor sure that «in general revaluation happens natural, and in the further future (optimistic forecast - two years) market will grow». Worst, in his opinion, affected the market of modern Western and Russian art, not in the best position to be Russian and classical art. «Russian market of classical art - unipolar, ie, buy mainly Russian, but the French school, the same Rokhlina Faith , prices will rise. They grow up and socialist realism, as it is still underestimated. Quality little things already, and want to buy them - a lot ». According to Tyuhtina, price adjustment will not affect the masterpieces, and the average number of touches: «Many in the background of the crisis will only buy the masterpieces, and the market average - prosyadet».

In general, how confident the expert, and antique dealers weather the crisis will be just as «art objects unless they were bought on borrowed funds, does not require additional investments», in addition, investment in art - a thing «long-term, many things people have stored five to ten years».

«weather the crisis in antiques is easier than to go with the non-factory, because there are no storage costs and depreciation, all the people retain all the old-fashioned home, no one insures and antiques will always be in the price and house, looking at him, would feel much more positive emotions than if they were watching television news with the crisis », - he explained.
