23-24 April at London's Saatchi Gallery will be thematic auctions Phillips de Pury, dedicated to contemporary art in Brazil, Roscii, India and China (countries BRIC). Selected get a solid: almost 440 lots, many stellar names - from the masters of Brazilian "Tropicalia" (Elyu Oytisika, Ligia Clark) to the ruthless Chinese political conceptualists (Ai Weiwei, Wang Guangya). In this article we shall discuss in detail on the "Russian" lots. In the online catalog auction works of our compatriots are on pages 1-3 (according to tradition is not monolithic national Thong, along with the works of artists of other countries) and on pages 19-28.
For Artists orbit of Russian art auction promises to turn up bad. 'Weather whispers ": Moscow wealthy people are under impression that only exhibited collection of Victor Bondarenko (which consist mainly of those same names). Plus, these days a lot of fuss sverhudachnaya selling collection of works Burliuk, who left with big exceeded the estimate. By contemporary Russian art is a transaction has no direct relationship, but indirectly may indicate on the return of interest in buying. Well, let's see.
collector of art of the sixties in the first place is worth paying attention to the work of Vladimir Yankylevsky . Self-portrait in 1999 given estimeyt 10-15 thousand pounds. Very good job, in the view of AI, greatly underestimated. Probably because technically it is mixed media on paper with cardboard. Self-portrait - a compact concentration of the main ideas Yankylevsky, filled with Primary elements of his language - very typical, recognizable work. Besides the comfortable size of collection. In "Self-Portrait» AI waits exceeded the estimate at least 40 thousand pounds.
But the most interesting Russian lot of this auction - is the work "Triptych № 10" (1970), estimated at 50-70 thousands of pounds. A rare case when one of the 28 existing triptychs (the top of the artist) is proposed on open auctions. Also - one of the best of the triptych. Most of the works in this format are in the leading museums and major private collections. More information about the work of this class, read today's interview Vladimir Yankylevsky site ARTinvestment.RU. According to AI, the triptych can be sold in the current environment of 300-400 thousand pounds, with a significant excess of estimate. That still will not match the high value of this work in the postwar history of unofficial art. A major problem triptychs - a gigantic size. It is difficult to exhibit in a private collection. This format requires the museum space. But "Triptych № 10" has just sparing size - 4.3 meters horizontally and in height - only meter. That is, in the space of exhibition space, he greatly overshadowed, but not outright eat.

One of the top lots of trades going to be a painting by Sretenskaya Group, conceptualist Eric Bulatov « Login - no entry "(1994-1995). Painting - one of several variations of copyright replicated leaf mid-1970, included in the collection of the Pompidou Centre in Paris. The work is estimated at 350-450 thousand pounds. Calling Card Bulatov are impressive size canvases, where the background postcard scenery and the sky soar monolithic letters that make up all known and familiar phrases. This style offers plenty of room to experiment with composition. In some works, such as "I live - I see" (1980), the words form a corridor receding toward the horizon, the same method used in the work before us, only here in the hallway is a clean, pristine white space. Bulatov is labeled with colors: blue (the word "Login") means the freedom, space, unlimited thinking, the same red ("no entry") - color prohibitive. Bulatov's paintings especially lucky at auctions Phillips. This trading floor was installed and a public record price for his creativity. In February 2008, oil on canvas "Glory to the CPSU in 1975 went to Phillips for 1.08 million pounds in Estima 500-700 thousand. Work "Entrance - Entrance no record is not threatened, but the upper the estimate for it is quite feasible task.
auction is well represented in poetic conceptualism with abundant photorealistic component of another famous "sretentsa» - Oleg Vasiliev . One of the most impressive works is the painting "On the shore of the Sea" (1989). She has a complex composition, where the vertical turns horizontal, and is located in the middle range of pure light. Estimeyt canvas - 70-90 thousand pounds. Probably the thing will be sold with a small excess of estimate. A more traditional still life, painted in muted autumnal colors, "In memory of Efim Moiseevich Royak" (1987), received a grading of 50-70 thousand pounds. Is devoted to Russian artist-supremacist, a disciple and a member of UNOVIS Yefim Royak . Another painting, "The road to the lake" (2001), which used a traditional motif Vasilevskij roads, estimated at 40-60 thousand pounds.
In the context of informal art is also impossible not to mention the pioneering work of Sots Art Komar and Melamid « Meeting Solzhenitsyn and Bell at the dacha Rostropovich "(1972). In this picture ironic artists included "all that fond of liberals in Moscow, all you need for a good, bourgeois life - a bunch of grapes, crystal glasses, a lemon with the skin hanging off the edge of the table, as in the Dutch still lifes of XVII century. But more importantly, what we have done it all in different styles - Cezanne, Cubism, Futurism, and the left leg Boll wrote in the style of Russian icons. This picture - not just an attack on the illusion of Russian liberals. We were also liberals, also belonged to the intelligentsia. In this picture we attacked our own illusions. " Cloth in 1972 estimated at 100-150 thousand. A well-known story, valuable time - quite a collectible item. Upper estimeyt should give, perhaps even in excess.
As far as contemporary art, here, too, have something to look out for. Completed in 2009, wooden objects from the series "Bread» Anatoly Osmolovsky received estimeyt 60-80 thousand pounds. Former aktsionist, Osmolovskii now stands for "pure" art, independent of context and ongoing dialogue only with itself. "Bread" contain references to Russian icons, old icons are invited to remember, so darkened that the images they already indistinguishable. According to AI, estimeyt overstated. Work overrated even at the lower boundary. Work Osmolovsky comparable classes are available on the domestic market is quite comfortable for collectors prices. If these sculptures find a buyer, we get a new record: at the moment the largest sum ever paid at auction for a work Osmolovsky is 11 thousand pounds. So much to pay for the sculpture from the series "Bread" (2007) for Sotheby's June 9, 2009 .
poster with black Putin Ukrainian Hooligan Sergei Bratkova is estimated to be 4-6 thousands of pounds. Perhaps the creation of this work (which is called the Change) of the artist inspired campaign posters with pictures of Barack Obama, made Shepard Fairy (Shepard Fairey). The product came to light recently - in 2008. For Bratkova thing is not software, work hard on the fan. But money and small. We think that will be sold within эстимейта.
the auction will also be available photographs of such famous authors as Alexander Rodchenko , Yevgeny Khaldei , Boris Mikhailov and AEC F .
