For Geneshapiro characterized by a more wide range and unexpected appearance in the catalogs of work. Those which can not be found on conservative auctions, reluctantly admitting newcomers into its "holder"

Geneshapiro - auction, which has its own specifics. Those who need a secular brilliance and inspirational surroundings of the art of shopping, there are not buying. The auction is designed more for professional buyers and experienced collectors with medium and small budgets. Need to fly there with a cool head, and if there is any doubt, it is best to refrain from potentially ill-advised moves. However, this general rule for all auctions, for comfortable conditions for the return does not create one.

But the courage and the qualification of buyers are rewarded with a very friendly estimeytami and normal maintenance. Also in desheveyuschih dollars. And of course, for Geneshapiro characterized by a more wide range and unexpected appearance in the catalogs of work. Those which can not be found on conservative auctions, reluctantly admitting newcomers into its "holder" - for example, interesting Petersburg sixties and eighties.

For examples look no further than necessary. Among the most "catching" works April "Shapiro" - «Do not talk!» November Volkova . Petersburg artist, who left the U.S. in 1980. And for these two reasons are not too on hearing. But what is the thing! Allusion to the famous poster of the picture, "embroidered" of fitting zip-zipper. Everything is super: the size and power, and the estimate of 3-4 thousand dollars. Noah Volkova yet recorded only a few sales at auctions. Treatments were approaching 10 thousand, but did not reach. Things then were less interesting, but times more grain. I think that this time you can count on the result of about 8 thousand dollars. Although not surprise me if there will be more.

By the way, all of the major selling it Orlova Fest, is held on-site auction Geneshapiro, so that their estimate can be relied on, and more care will be up to 20 thousand dollars.
