Below are two common to all four auction houses rankings top 10 - for painting and drawing XIX - early XX century and contemporary art . Usually we use in the preparation of the ratings the principle of " one artist - one ( most expensive ) work" to include in the sample as much as possible names. However, for the first rating he did not need : a dozen authors determined by the principle of sport - only the results . In the second ranking , we still get our favorite principle and excluded from the calculation of two paintings by George Guryanova ( they would occupy the 6th and 11th place ) and one work Seeds Faibisovich (9th place) and Vladimir Weisberg ( 12th place ) . If we were a simple list of the most expensive lots of contemporary art at these auctions Russian , then in fairness they should be taken into account .

And effectively argue otherwise why something could not be . Quite another matter - to predict the vector of events . Honestly, for me the kind of success trades and especially individual lots was a surprise . But who could have foreseen this ? Often these actions can have a million irrational explanations , no relation to market conditions . If we abstract from Falk and Konchalovsky , the overall " hits record " on the world's masterpieces , which we have seen in recent times, can be a sign of global uncertainty. Marketing ploy ? So , Sotheby's catalog November 26 consisted of the things with the estimate from 2 thousand to 220 thousand pounds. In the catalog Christie's November 25 bulk of things was also in the range of up to 100,000 pounds. Permanent link to: © artinvestment.ru, 2024 Attention!
