Suprematist composition set a record auction Impressionist & Modern Art Evening Sale Sotheby's auction house, which took place on 16 may 2017

in General, any appearance of the genuine Suprematist painting of Kazimir Malevich at the art market — event extraordinary. It happens not something that is not every year and not even every decade. At the end of 2000-х collectors lucky heirs sued the Museum and exposed on the auctions a few first-rate paintings. It was then, in 2008, Malevich established the auction record for Russian art — 60 million dollars. And if not crisis, then rates could reach $100 000 000. But restorative Malevich sell — and established again a deficit for years. Buy Malevich will be nowhere and no amount of money.

a Record for Sotheby's auction may 16, Malevich from the collection of Nicholas Hardzhieva. According to unconfirmed version, this Suprematist composition could participate in the legendary exhibition "0,10" in Petrograd in 1915. The current owner purchased it in the gallery Gmurzynska in 1994. In the early 2000-х work was exhibited in the Guggenheim museums, exhibitions, collections Manilow. In 2014 was on display at the Tate Modern. Work reproduced in many directories — in General, it is important that it does not appear from nowhere.

the Buyer definitely to be congratulated. It may not be the best Malevich in recent years, but purchased without a staggering overpayment. The top estimate for the auction was exceeded by $3 000 000. I wonder if buying an investment and then with her will be as a "Seated woman" by Picasso. after 6 Years check.
