Sold 4.5 million rubles. Became the hit of porcelain figurines of characters from the works of N. Gogol

Friday Night October 26, more than 60 collectors have decided to spend at the auction, "the Auction house № 1". About 15 people (including a small Chinese delegation) watched and participated from the audience on the Hamovnichesky shaft, up to 45 collectors traded online, and several players have bet on the phone through the employees of the auction house. In the end 433 of the proposed lots, the new owners found 130 (30 %). Total revenues amounted to 4,56 million rubles. the Main sales were in the Internet (approximately 60 %). About 20 % of the lots went into the hall, but the famous Chinese consumer excitement we, alas, did not see: the people of China chose this time to the role of spectators. The remaining lots are approximately equally divided between phones and zaochku. The auction took about three hours.

Almost half of the revenue of trading on 26 October provided a one-time deal: paintings by Sergei Arsenievich Vinogradov "wanderer with a staff at the Church" in 1899 was sold to a party in the hall to start — for 2 million rubles. The same player got another top-лот — landscape V. K. Byalynitsky-Бируля "River in spring" (the sale price of 450 thousand rubles.).

Bargained participants in the room with the Internet for genre work "At the fair" rare at auction of the artist M. N. Belyaevskiy (CA. 1870 — after 1912) — lot went online-участнику for 190 thousand rubles, at the start from 150 thousand rubles. and Bought two audica Gavriil Kondratenko: for 75 and 60 thousand rubles. respectively. Half a million rubles without Commission gave a phone buyer for still life, "Poppies and sunflowers" S. M. Romanovich. Small but bright and the finished thing M. Y. Kugach "Academic dacha" went online-игроку to start for 30 thousand rubles.

Sold out was a small string of four works Barbara Dmitrievna Bubnova. Particularly liked the customers, watercolor, "portrait": telephone buyer paid for it 22 thousand rubles (start 15 thousand rubles).

these Are the main sales section of painting and graphics. Many works did not find buyers, despite the beauty and most attractive price. In the current market situation, alas, "just a very beautiful/good/wonderful/stylish" (and these arguments in favor of buying has often led the auctioneer) the work to be insufficient. For a successful sale must meet many factors — starting with the name of the author and ending with the personal preferences of the buyer. Sometimes, of course, personal preferences take precedence over the rational beginning. So, for example, happened with a picture "Tennis" of an unknown Soviet artist 1970-х years: member of the trading room for him with opponents online with the 1 to 20 thousand. But that will not do for children, seriously involved in tennis. But for the work of another n/h — "Portrait of an old woman in a mobcap" — with 10 to 40 thousand rubles bargaining could have on rational reasons: good restoration and proper attribution can make it a "candy" for the collector of painting of the XIX century.

Heat was greeted with a string of customers, advertising, propaganda and movie posters, with 16 lots found buyers 9. What should be the actual poster as "Herring — indispensablesnack": bargaining and the increase in price from 2 to 4.4 thousand RUB were to be expected.

wait for the section DPI the audience was rewarded: there was a fascinating auction is for a porcelain Gogol's characters — Mayor, nozdryov, Elijah and others. Almost every one of these porcelain sculptures, executed at the factory by model B. Ya. Vorobyov beginning 1950-х, was bargaining. More than all were sold levitrawiki "the mayor", one of the online-покупателей wrested it from the opponents 42 thousand rubles at the stated start with 10 thousand and the real start from 28 thousand rbl. the Second came to the finish of the porcelain "nostrils": it was bought by the party for 40 thousand rubles (starting price of 12 thousand rubles). All 7 sold in Gogol's selection of lots (out of 9 offered) brought 140 thousand. — 184 % of the total assessment of the Thong.

Congratulations to the organizers with an interesting and successful auction. We will wait for new meetings: next (this time — secondhand) trading in "Auction No. 1" on November 17.
