Auction summer in London is traditionally open "Russian auction» Christie's and Sotheby's. As always, ARTinvestment.RU publishes a story about the individual lots of interesting and offers his prediction. Let's start with the auction Christie's, which will be held on June 6.
Christie's, June 6, London
Official Releases Christie's In our opinion, fairly thoroughly explained on the top lot in the evening - canvas Ilya Repin «Parisian cafe" (lot number 22; estimate 5.3 million pounds). Along with the picture put up for sale about 80 Repin sketches and sketches.
Section of postwar art (lots 69-87) Christie's exhibits 12 works from the collection of a famous collector George Dionisovicha Kostaki . Canvases come from the family collection grandson of the collector of Dionysus Kostaki. Much the same part of the collection of non-conformists - 1250 works - in 1997, was acquired by Greece for the State Museum of Contemporary Art in Thessaloniki.
In Thong lots from the collection of Kostaki best work, in our opinion, this board Dmitry Krasnopevtseva . George Costakis was a sincere admirer of the artist, with time he has developed an outstanding quality and quantity of the collection of his works. Exhibited on the auctions work "Untitled" is written in your favorite artist genre of "Metaphysical Still Life." The auction house estimated the painting of 30-50 thousand pounds. In our opinion, is too modest: the forecast AI - closer to 100 thousand pounds.
Immediately after the still-life Krasnopevtseva in the auction room at Christie's King Street will be offered to buyers are not very large (64.5 x 54.5), yellow-green-red "mask and a dragonfly" (1976) Tselkova . By the way, solo exhibition of new and previously exhibited in Russia do not work Tselkova now being held in St. Petersburg Lazarev Gallery . As for the paintings, exhibited at the "Russian auctions" on June 6 with the estimate 15-20 thousand pounds - one that was bought personally George Kostaki, should significantly raise its price. We believe that care will be around 50 thousand pounds.
Wooden Sculpture classics nonconformism Shelkovskoy « Untitled ", put up for auction with the estimate 6-8 thousand pounds, according to our estimates, can show the result to 12,000 pounds.
Each lot in the string of works from the collection Kostaki deserves attention dwell on at least two. This painting "Untitled» Oscar Rabin with the estimate 40-60 thousand pounds . Although the work of Rabin recently often appear at auction, but the concrete work - from the collection Kostaki: a provenance is only a plus. Forecast AI - 60,000 lbs. Scorched "Rooster» Anatoly Zverev (estimate 2-3 thousand pounds): sorry, of course, that the charred edges are not cut, but the thing with history. Maybe someone will buy it just for history, for example, 4,000 pounds.
Among the other works section of postwar art note "Rooster" (1983) Vladimir Nemukhin (lot number 86; estimate 4-6 thousand lbs.) Forecast AI - 8,000 lbs. Nearly two-meter (180 x 140) work Oleg Vasiliev « Raven conductor "may exceed the estimate 70-90 thousand pounds, our forecast - 110 000. Scale, length of almost 2.5 meters, linen giperrealista Seeds Faibisovich « Early Spring ", in our opinion, underestimated (estimate 40-60 thousand pounds). The work is likely to go under the hammer for about 170,000 pounds.
Sotheby's, 6-7 June, London

For the canvas "View from the window, the proposed June 6 at Sotheby's with the estimate 300-500 thousand pounds, we expect care less than 300 thousand pounds.

Painting "Harvest" famous Russian landscape painter Valerian Kamenev written in the spirit of the peasant landscape Venetsianov , the work of these artists seldom appear at auction, so the score, in our view, corresponding to: estimate 180-250 thousand pounds; forecast AI - 230,000 pounds.
