It became known yesterday that Russian Art & Antique Fair (Antique salon of contemporary art) moved to the week ahead. New dates — from 13 to 18 February 2018

the catalogue of the first fair RAAF risks immediately become a bibliophilic rarity curious as the official publication of the large-scale events with incorrectly specified dates. The reasons for this "hospitality" — bureaucratic: the arena, according to unofficial information, suddenly took the "United Russia" for what-то important event. Therefore, the entire Commerce — side.

From yesterday the galleries and artists urgently rebuild logistics, perenakachivat transport, shipping, nonresident change the tickets and reservation. Turmoil.

Our-то, let's do it. And here is how to get out of foreign exhibitors — scary to imagine. At the fair, let me remind you, are waiting for participants from the UK, Germany, Italy, USA, France, Switzerland, Sweden and several other countries. However when someone is really interested in the inconvenience of private business in General and the problem of art-рынка in particular? Postponed, not canceled — and thanks for that. What-то degree even in mid-February, buying activity is higher than at the beginning.

you know the Rest. The fair was first held in the extended format. Instead of the classical Antique Salon organizers decided to try format universal fair of arts Russian Art & Antique Fair. So in Europe, as TEFAF: that was submitted and antique direction, and post-war art, and contemporary. Antique dealers for the first time will trade on one site with galleries of contemporary art. From aktualschikov at the Salon-ярмарке will "Triumph", "Gallery 21", ART4, Gallery Savina, etc.

during the fair days, February 14, 2018, the Union of collectors of Russia and the international Confederation of antique and art-дилеров will hold legal forum "Trafficking in movable cultural property". Will be discussed in effect of changes in legislation (on import-вывозу, etc.). Its position will be represented by lawyers and officials, representatives of state structures. The program of the forum we will publish next week. While waiting, the redoing the banners, adjusting our plans and hope that nothing more on dates will not change.
