20–22 октября часть лотов с предстоящего аукциона Sotheby’s показал в Москве на предаукционной выставке в Историческом музее. Несколько витрин с императорскими ювелирными изделиями и, наверное, штук 15 картин. Понятно, что везли лучшее. Разве что портрет кисти Репина был сильно так себе, а все остальное произвело внушительный эффект. И хорошие вещи Айвазовского и отличный холст Лагорио. Очень неплохой пейзаж Кончаловского. Но главных впечатления два — гуашь «Лики России» Григорьева и «Лежащая обнаженная» Зинаиды Серебряковой. Вроде бы две графики, Серебрякова так и вовсе эскизной проработки, а забивали все — и светящиеся морские пейзажи, и пышную яркую Экстер… На форуме ARTinvestment.RU предаукционной выставке Sotheby’s в Москве посвящен отдельный фоторепортаж.
Что касается в целом ценовой ситуации, то по мере исчерпания кризиса прогнозировать проще не стало. Например, опять непонятно, что будет с долларом. Зеленый старичок опять просел, что стимулирует избавляться от него, прятаться в вечных ценностях. Плюс покупатели изголодались по искусству за 9 месяцев кризисной диеты. С другой стороны, нестабильность изрядно потрепала публику, коллекционеры за это время не стали богаче. Так что AI не делал бы ставку на «жор» на предстоящих торгах. Рано еще. Но еще один позитив нельзя не отметить: хороших вещей на торгах стало больше. А это симптом того, что сдатчики предвидят улучшение конъюнктуры.
