Yesterday, November 17, auction house, "Kabinet" the auction number 10 (35) "Russian paintings and drawings XVIII - XX centuries».

try the short story as an example to point out some of these trading realities and trends of the Russian art market is open. (We put them in brackets, so as not to be confused with the main story about the auction, the more there is to tell that.)

There were about thirty people - not much, maybe because at the same time arcade held a VIP preview of pre-auction exhibition of Russian auction house. (This season trades and shows at different venues is not the first time on the same time. Randomness, but this affects both sellers and auctions, and buyers.) Maybe because not all lots were interesting.

organizers in one place and time is spent just two auctions: "Russian paintings and drawings XVIII - XX centuries" and "Arts and Crafts XVIII - XX centuries and Faberge objects." However, in terms of analyzing the results of trading it would be better all the lots are not conventionally divide by two, and one of three categories:

1. Painting and drawing XVIII - the beginning of the twentieth century;
2. Painting and drawing of the Soviet period;
3. DPI.

So first of conditionally section was sold to about 45%of lots with a good bargain on some of them. Of conditional second section, the Soviet period, and sold 18%of the section DPI sold about 40%.

Then we can move from analytical parentheses. Even from this mathematics are reviewed unchanged for a long time priorities buying mood, but when you consider that in the second section of the catalog conditionally traded only two pictures Zvereva, and other purchases were made either by absentee rates, or by phone without haggling, the picture becomes quite clear: the Soviet period as a whole until now very few people are interested.

So, for that trade, and for that there.

surprise for me well bought the XIX century portraits by unknown artists, traded, but only one - item number 2, a portrait of GI Bettihera by an unknown Russian artist ( details about the item 2) . Starting with 70 thousand rubles, the participants raised the price to 100 000: Lot left within the estimate, but the good fight.

But for Sylvester Shchedrin landscape ( details about the item 12 ), for which there was a correspondence bet, turned a serious struggle, and was among those present in the courtroom. From the start of 2.3 million rubles, and at step 100 000 three men broke up the price to 2.8 million - one step bypassed upper estimate, and this calmed down.

Unknown Russian artist. Portrait of Gustav Ivanovich Bettihera (1782-1847). Around 1820 Canvas on hardboard, oil. 50 , 8 x 41,6 Lot number 2 Estimate: 70-100 rubles Result: 100 thousand

SHCHEDRIN SYLVESTRE Feodosievich Landscape with boats and views of the volcano Vesuvius End of 1820 's paper, sepia, watercolor. 16.6 x 24,7 Lot 12 Estimate: 2,3-2,7 million rubles Result: 2.8 million rubles

POLENOV Vasily Study for the painting" Christ and the Sinner. "1880 Graphite pencil on paper. 15.1 x 16,9 Lot 14 Estimate: 300-350 thousand rubles Output: 650 thousand rubles

desperate struggle was developed for study of Vasily Polenov for the painting "Christ and the Sinner» ( details about the item 14 ). polenovsky for study in the hall and hard inspiration - in increments of 20 thousand rubles - was traded four - 5 people , and as a result of the start of 300 000 study was sold for 650 thousand. Note that this record did not result: depending on the quality of graphics Polenov sold on average in the range from two thousand to 20 thousand dollars.

How can we explain an interest in this etude? Perhaps the fact that just the other day on Bonhams will be sold the painting itself, "Christ and the Sinner" (estimate: 1.2-1.8 million), the pre-auction show that was not anywhere in the Tretyakov Gallery. (By tradition, press, talking about work played a plus for her sketch .)

interest of participants and, consequently, caused a serious fight sketching male head of Valentin Serov ( details about the item 15 ).

In this picture there Serov distance rate, but the main trade was between three parties in the hall: starting from 260 000 rubles bidders raised the price in increments of 20 000 to 460 thousand rubles . And this result is above the average prices for graphics Serov - probably played here with the names of the author and his model.

not aroused the interest of those present schedule of Alexandre Benois, Zinaida Serebryakova, Sergei and Natalia Goncharova Sudeikina - because estimeyty exceeded market price range sometimes twice. (And this is, unfortunately, not surprising. Just ended XXXI parlor accused of unthinkable, with nothing exaggerated according to prices, but that was all the same salon (though still unclear) ... Hopefully all unreasonable estimeyty did not develop into a stable trend: the lack of demand for the best control that we once again and see.)

Thus, the auction ended with the average by today's result: 40 percent sold lots - it's not bad. Today, the organizers with enthusiasm in his voice told about active posleauktsionnyh sales, so take the final interest rate is still too early.

past auction shows that for the interesting things is a struggle, and that means that life goes on . This month, you and me waiting a few more auctions, so the fun is yet to come.
