All three works by Kandinsky — from a private European collection. In addition, from the same collection for auction at Sotheby's on November 12 and 13 exhibited the works of Maurice de Vlaminck, August Macke, Henri Campendonk, Alexei Jawlensky, and others.

a Group of works is headed by Kandinsky canvas, 1913, "Zum thema Jüngstes Gericht" ("On the theme of the last judgment"). Only in 1913, Kandinsky wrote 31 work, 27 of whom today are in museums and one is presumed destroyed. Thus, the painting "On the theme of the last judgment" — is one of three paintings by the artist this year, remaining in private hands. The lot is estimated at $22-35 million.

Next, for $18-25 million will be offered a job in 1939 the "Red circle" ("Le rond rouge"). In the last years of his life in Paris style abstractions of Kandinsky changed. Works of this period are now overrated by critics and members of the art-рынка, and the best of them achieve the highest results at auction. Let's see what awaits "the Red circle".
