ARTinvestment.RU   30 марта 2017

According to media reports, last year, the Agency on insurance of contributions sold at its auction of works by Ivan Aivazovsky, Nicholas Roerich, etc. of All DIA in 2016 held 768 197 auctions of the property of liquidated banks

"DIA sold the shark, paintings by Aivazovsky and Nicholas Roerich, belonging to broken banks", — pleased amusing headings RNS and RBC. We immediately took the bait. And not only we. "It is not the shark of Damien Hirst drove at the auction?" — rushed to read the news art lovers. Alas, no. British innovator to do with it. Shark in the networks of ASV were alive, aquarium. And what they had for Roerich with Aivazovsky, not know: according to the DIA, sold in 2016.

laugh Laugh, but this exotic sales channel today has no shortage of material. License revoked in batches every month, property accident and savvy banks have where-то to do. The Agency for Deposit insurance publishes the list of lots in torgiasv.ru. Of course, in addition to chairs, currency detectors and car, among the property coming up for auction, meet and picture. Collateral from customers or obviously decorative-офисные — different. Expensive painting of the first names among DIA-implemented property, of course, rare. And understandably so.

Well, since I went to the site, why not see what the DIA is now expensive? Just for fun.

so, at the moment at auction ASV , the class of art the most expensive lot — the picture Bateau Dugarzhapova, a kind of settlement of Vernazza in the Italian national Park of Chino-Терре.

Painting, even with the photos, pretty nice. Dugarzhapov took part in the painting of the Central dome of the Cathedral of Christ the Saviour, led the painting of the Church of the Kazan icon of the mother of God of Kazan station, awarded a diploma of the Patriarch. And a good artist — no questions. The prices are guidelines. At the French auction in the early 1990-х his paintings were sold in the price range of $1 200-2 500. Record — of $7,700 in 1992. In 2000-х recorded only one sale for $1 132 in 2011 at the French auction Liladam E. U. R. L. understand About. But it is not clear — is the price on the website of the DIA. The starting price of the painting there is 1 888 938 RUB 81 kopecks Is converted comes to $33 130. Wow!

For comparison, in the area of 30 thousand dollars today in the auction market is a very good painting Dmitry Krasnopevtsev (in principle, and for two good things to buy), or outstanding painting Oscar Rabin doemigratsionnogo period, or the big picture Oleg Tselkova or painting Vladimir Yankylevsky. With 30 000 dollars it is possible to roam and buy the best things of the first names of post-war unofficial art. But the small landscapes of contemporary authors are now absolutely other money. The experience, even for $2000 at the current market to sell them. That is, the discrepancy in the estimates we 16 times.

Okay, maybe missed the price by accident. Let's see what they have on. The next price in the catalog ASV — picture Igor Larionov "Navy pier". 2002. Size less than the average — 46 × 55. On prices for the artist's work the story is almost like a blueprint: a lot of the sales were in France in the early 1990-х in the range of $1 200-2 000. Record — $6 000. Then — silence. In 2000-х the artist has only one auctionsale, French Aggutes, 2013 — $974 including Commission — for the meter size canvas. "Navy pier" four times less than Aggutes. And the minimum price which calculates ASV, — 718 691,28 RUB That is $12 604. If asked our opinion at a realistic price is now in Russia, 25 000, and then — as lucky. With ASV I disagree with them 30 times.

conscience is clear let's see the third picture. Marat Shanin, the painting "the March to the graveyard", size 50 × 70, the minimum price for the website DIA — 658 034 RUB photo — regular painting, good but not innovative, that many people, however, like. Name — in the negative, such themes are sold difficult. But a good artist, honored worker of Mordovia, teacher. Now let's see what the prices. Open base — wow, there are already 27 auction event for painting. The record was set at Christie's in 2012 — $3 134. This means, in the hands of the seller received a little more than $2000. But it is in England and it is a record. In Russia in 2014, close to class thing is also exhibited, but has not reached the reserve, while the estimate of 15 000-20 000. What could be the real price? Well, where-нибудь 35 000 rubles (about $600), maybe a little more. That is, again in opinion about the price, we disagree with ACB about 20 times.

the April auction will judge us.

it is Difficult to judge where did these estimates, these minimum prices. Maybe when-то on the balance of the picture had with such figures and the procedure requires to specify the way — do not know. Maybe this is an exceptional case, what-то error associated with a particular auction (all three lots are in the auction room 3562-ОАЗФ — the sale of assets of Mitranslate). DIA gave the Agency RNS the following comment: "we Need to consider that any property has the value of two: one carrying the other market. The first auction, the Agency always conducts with the price which is higher. Then, depending on the demand, the price can be reduced, and the law allows it to do. 100 % of the cost, usually nothing is sold. Although it happens that manages to get even more than we expected".

anyway, given the current situation on the art market such minimum prices can be described as not just inadequate, but what-то monstrous — 16-20-30 times higher than the actual market. It is impossible to imagine that so estimated selling "Mercedes". But with the pictures, as you can see, you can. However, that is not a problem. In case of predictable Naradaji the DIA has its own procedure to be put again at a lower price. The paintings have not asked. Unlike the sharks in the aquarium.
