Figurine of glazed ceramics was estimated at 30-50 thousand pounds. Version of the product is kept in the Tretyakov Gallery. Sales no reference, therefore, the results of bidding on the sculpture is almost unpredictable. Expert opinion of the Firm - 30-50 thousand pounds. Why do not agree with "just above the upper limit estimate»?
Paintings Alexander Yakovlev , which show the types and usages of "exotic" countries enjoy constant demand on the art market. Bright, colorful composition "Dance of the Cooley-Kut. Niamey, almost untouched by the influence of Cubism, was quite appropriate in popularity of the author estimate: from 800 thousand to 1 million pounds. Painting was shown at the pre-auction exhibition at the State Historical Museum. Trading Results on the works of Yakovlev did not cease to amaze. Certain experts believe that they are already overvalued or close to that. But if collectors are not cooled, it is quite possible result of nearly 1 million pounds.
Sergei Sudeikin , Yuri Annenkov , Roman Tirtov (Erte) ... This is not a complete list of Russian artists who have achieved great recognition in the West, including as theater artists and designers. In this series can be put and the "Russian American» Nikolai Remizov (1887-1975) , famous for its scenery to staged cabaret Nikita Baliyeva "Die Fledermaus" and Hollywood movies. His name is barely known in the Russian market, which is always fraught with interesting opportunities for investors. As noted by Sotheby's, a time Remizov was even "the most fashionable painter of immigrants from Russia, being invited to issue their own salons Elizabeth Arden (Elizabeth Arden). In 1924, Remizov was opened in New York nightclub "Petrushka" - with borscht, blinis, Gypsies and colorful paintings in a typically "Russian" style.

Constructivism - one of the the most important trends in art of the twentieth century, largely determine what we now mean by the word "modernism". Geometric abstraction, a fusion of art and design, attention to advanced technologies, the glorification of industrial production, and teamwork - all of its distinctive features. True, to collect the classics on the forces is not for everyone: Theme expensive and need very good deal, since a high turnover of fakes. Bykhovskii Alexander (1888-1978) - a student Exeter . Name is not loud, the work is small, but interesting. It is a pity that the provenance of the work "Airplane" (estimate 8-12 thousand pounds) will not be published. And generally in all such cases it is reasonable to exercise increased vigilance. If everything is in order, you can rely on the estimate. Forecast AI: 15,000 lbs.
a fairly high pre-assessment (40-60 thousand pounds) has received a two-meter wooden relief George Artemov «The hunt for buffalo." This is, however, flowers: in 2006 an impressive size of the work brought to Paris Christie's already 130,000 euros. Lot - an interesting example of Art Deco style that combines neoclassic with a stylized "primitive" elements. Forecast AI: 50 thousand pounds.
In the string of post-war non-art collectors should pay attention to an interesting "Still Life» Dmitry Krasnopevtseva executed in 1969. Whimsical, melancholy, very recognizable - and with the estimate of 30-50 thousand. AI believes estimate is very tempting and other work in the care of 85,000 pounds.
