so, meet.

Alexander Florensky — is one of the most liquid of artists of St. Petersburg "Mitki". Almost all of his original paintings and drawings from the number put up for auction found buyers. And draw graphics (e.g. screen printing) also sells like hotcakes. One of the most famous ongoing cycles Florensky — "Russian album", a paraphrase of the masterpieces of Russian art: "Princess Tarakanova", "Menshikov in Berezov", "the Apotheosis of war", "Tea in Mytishchi", etc. Russian collectors are also well aware of his "Pushkiniana", a large series graphics with characters from "Notes about Sherlock Holmes" and other series. And, of course, collectors like landscapes, like the one now proposed for auction. "The rink" Alexander Florensky — on canvas 1989, performed in his trademark naive style and the "Mitki" in the spirit. St. Petersburg, may even know the exact place for the architectural dominants. Atmospheric, Leningrad in December and very on the mood thing. And that nice, cheap.

Vladislav Grachev — Kostroma artist, the Creator of an original style of abstract painting based on figurative texture. Perhaps, what-то the style of Vladislav Grachev consonant manner of Nicholas de Stael. Stands back from the canvas five steps back and blur the sight, as through perceived pointlessness appear the outlines of the buildings, the shapes and contours of trees. Friends recalled that a particularly deep impression on Grachev made the walls of the ruined temples often encountered in the Kostroma region during the Soviet Union (and now, perhaps, not uncommon). Them surviving fragments of the painting, on the one hand, was a terror from the impracticability of artistic and architectural loss. And the other — showed the power of destiny, greatness of the nature and strength of time even in such unfair and cruel manifestations. The work of Vladislav Grachev are in collections of regional museums and in private collections.

Vladimir Tryamkin — artist "gorkomovskoy" school. He began his career, exhibited in the halls on Malaya Gruzinskaya street in the mid 1970-х. Then, many of his works were made in the expressionist style, and some portraits reminded even the style Zverev — friend and colleague on the Committee of graphic artists. Now to see them surprising, given what we now know Tryamkina as innovator of abstract art. I would call him the inventor of the new "mechanistic" abstraction. Around the beginning of 2010-х Vladimir Tryamkin began to make the stunning beauty of the embossed wall of abstraction from metal and wood. Many will remember his two-meter metal sheets, punched as the Soviet grater, holes with sharp edges. They were exhibited at the Moscow fairs of modernart and made a truly powerful impression. Our "Two forms" — is their forerunner, the thing is the 1990 geometric abstraction of valuable period. Specified in the technique of "tempera". But it may be even a variant of encaustic, with a loved Tremsinem coating type ganozisa.

Boris Bomstein — theater artist, he worked at the Lenkom and other theatres. In easel painting and graphics, he worked in the style of primitivism. In the USSR participated in all-Union and Republican exhibitions, he was awarded the title of honored artist.

Favorite stories of Bomstein was, as he called them, "cityscapes-фантазии emerging from the depths of my subconscious" and "gallery circus and theatre characters". More than 20 years, he wrote works in favorite of Gogol's stories. This time not Gogol, but also entertainment, which reflects the national character: dancing under the tree, accordion in the branches, a feast at the Playground — in his own way. In a word, "Mess in the yard," written in signature "multiform velvet tones". Paintings and drawings of Bomstein are stored in the collections of the Vitebsk Marc Chagall Museum, in Pushkin, Bakhrushin, Literary museums, etc.

If you, like me, immediately saw nemuhinskie imagery and markup, it is not an accident. Alexander Kazala and Vladimir Nikolaevich Nemukhin many years was friends, communicated, conducted philosophical discussions. It is believed that Nemukhin at the time convinced Cuzalapa focus in the work on a small "station": "you Have a garden, home. Why would you do that-то up? Write what you see. Japanese artist took one square meter in the garden to work all my life. And you have a garden, write." More than 20 years ago Alexander Kazaap became interested in the noumenal art, from the word "noumenon" — "thing in itself", or in the more modern reconsidered the translation of Kant, "the thing itself". In contrast to the sensually perceptible phenomenon, the noumenal art — is the art of the intelligible. Perhaps it is possible to call it the art of simple things. "Lunch with the artist" is really kind of simple: potatoes and flounder, which are formed of large color spots. Painted still life in 2016 — in the year of death Nemukhin.

Leo Diyakonichyn — historian, art expert, candidate of historical Sciences, the author of several books on the history of Russian and Western European art. But my passion for painting once all the-таки finally prevailed: being a Mature age and already had achieved a lot in their profession art historian all-таки himself took up the brush. In the works Diyakonichyn noticeable that the artist would draw inspiration from Western modernism. There is this dialogue with Paris and presented at the auction "still life with fish". Composite it is built like a reflection in a broken mirror. On the table — sturgeon, a pair of glasses, and the decanter toonot empty. I think, only one kind of such a holiday will warm the long December evenings. The work was written 22 years ago. Now the artist already 87.

Igor Kislitsyn — artist generation of the seventies. He participated in a free exhibition in 1974 in forest Park "Izmailovo", then in a resonant exhibition of unofficial artists in the pavilion "culture House" ENEA, 1975. Then for years, like other artists of the "underground", his house became the hall of the city Committee schedules on the little Georgia. In the late 1970-х Kislitsyn engaged in the restoration in the Holy-Даниловском monastery, and later received the blessing of the iconic independent letter. The impact and severity of iconographic Canon felt in secular painting of Igor Kislitsyn. And we offer picture 2006 — proof of this. By the way, I would not argue that it is landscape. As a viewer, I rather see two seated figures, leading the conversation in the foreground. The plot may be harder, but not now. Let them be the subject of investigation for the future owner.

the District depicted in the landscape Victor Skalkin, — is part of the ples, a former fishing village, the "village in city", adjacent to the Volga. The perspective from which written composition, today is almost the main tourist kind so beloved by the artists of the town in the Ivanovo region. Victor Skalkin settled in Plyos 20 years ago. And in 1970-х he worked in Moscow, in theaters Mayakovsky and "contemporary". Participated in formal and informal exhibitions. In the early 1980-х, even in the Soviet Union, Skalkin I left for France. A year back, but Paris in PLICSCOM the landscape is felt even after 35 years. The picture of Victor Skalkin are in the collections of the Russian Museum, the Tretyakov gallery and regional museums and foreign collections.

Artist Alexander Rubets was born in Belarus, studied at the Leningrad art school named after V. Serov, but lives and works in Pyatigorsk. The mountains and nature of southern Russia — main sources of inspiration. And in front of the magnificent beauty of the Caucasus mountains Dombai valley will not stand no man, especially an artist. Landscape "Dombai" Alexander Scar tells almost all about a distinctive impressionistic manner and the skill of this artist. The work is pleasant, relaxed, therefore, compatible with a variety of interiors and is able to get along with any neighbors in the audience. His paintings of the Scar is in the collections of the Moscow Museum of modern art and regional museums in the country.

difficult Work on optics and mysterious in meaning. Called "First snow", but try to see him... but no, what-то do white on green bushes. But in any case, the snow is just an excuse, he is likely to start a conversation. In fact, before the viewer is built surrealdesign: bald woman, a fabulous bird, the wind, bending naked trees @all mdas requires a special interpretation. Author — cosmogonic surrealist Porfiry Fedorin — 32. In his youth he studied at the painter. But ten years ago moved to the side of contemporary art. First Fedorin was exhibited in the group of primitives "Just great artists", and then moved to Peter and joined the artistic sect "Sorcery artists". Among the main topics of his work — search doors between the visible and invisible worlds. Special primitivist art style Fedorin experts compare with a Mexican peasant of retablo and Catholic folk painting. It seems to me that the closer the similarity with the characters of the sixties, Leonid Purygina. In any case, the author is bold, recognizable, but still just got into a good company.

the Picture is probably the late 1970-х years. It may be the Bank of the river Vorya in the Noginsk district, where in those years the artist worked. Quick master landscape, accurate, concise strokes and strokes. The composition is complete and harmonious, though constructed with minimal means, even in a somewhat sketchy style. Its author — Vladimir Tyagunov, the artist of Russian avant-garde 1930-х years. He finished TUTEIN, studied with Falk, Osmerkina, Shterenberg. In 1930-м he joined the society of easel painters (OST), through the year came out and soon became the founder of "Izobrigady" (together with Pimenov, Luchishkin, Williams, etc.). In the early 1930-х Tyagunov traveled to the construction sites of the Soviet Union, participated in the reporting and anti-imperialist exhibitions have been in two Arctic expeditions on the icebreakers "Krasin" and "Lenin". After the collapse of the system of art societies and the introduction of a General doctrine of socialist realism, joined the Union of artists. Tyagunov — war veteran, awarded the medals "For defense of Moscow" and "For victory over Germany". After the war, in 1940-х served as a Board member and Executive Secretary Moshe. Since the mid-1960-х worked as chief designer Noginsk workshop Mooblipood. Paintings of Vladimir Tyagunov are in the Tretyakov gallery and the Museum named after Savitsky in Nukus.

the nine authors represented in the auction "DECEMBER" has already participated with his works in our previous curatorial auctions. You can read about in the announcements to get past "SUMMER", "SEPTEMBER" and "OCTOBER". About them nothing new to say, just remind you who is who.

Leonid Borisov — "hasanovic", the St. Petersburg of the sixties. Engineer-электротехник by profession, in art it came self-taught. In 1970-е prosecuted for parasitism, he lived doing odd jobs, but eventually became one of the most important artists and figures of the Leningrad underground. The main and most valuable subject of Leonid Borisov became simply graphic geometric abstractions, sometimes with elements of the assemblage. And it is precisely such a thing, created 35 years ago, offered now at auction.Read more about the work and market work of Leonid Borisov is possible to read here. I will only add that he is one of the most marketable artists on both public and unauctioned markets.

Another great work for my collection — "Natural" still life of Aron Bukh. Comfortable size, energy, awareness and unhackneyed theme. Boo — the man with an amazing destiny. The seventh of ten he was reborn as an artist: he burnt his socialist realist works created before 1984, and began to write a completely-другому. Three-dimensional brush strokes of paint, put a palette knife or with your bare fingers, impasto technique, mixing colors directly on the canvas, speed and expression — it so was the artist in our memory. Today the picture Buch — bestsellers Russian auction market. Last year a large body of his work he accepted a gift from the Spanish Foundation our gallery.

"Dawn in Khovrino" — work of the new cycle one of the main representatives of the naive expressionism of Lucy Raven. The artist is experiencing the obvious creative lift. Her recent paintings are shining with light and cheerfulness. They again became characteristic of bright ornamentation, positivity, courage, and accurately defined national identity. This painting is no exception: even without knowing anything about the author, the viewer will see that the picture is Russian.

Evgeny Ginzburg to mid 1970-х worked in the industrial design, carried out the orders of chocomint. With the opening of the hall at the little Georgia participated in the independent art exhibitions. Most known to viewers of the artist's works performed at the junction of expressionism and primitivism.

If you watch my collection Ishin, that's the kind of thing with a bulldozer, is simply the perfect choice. It is a recognizable plot, vivid palette, laconic composition, good size — everything in it. Great job on all counts. Ishin considered a naive artist-романтического style. He turned to a paradoxical and humorous scenes from the life of towns and villages. But almost all of his paintings on the second level of meaning, pose philosophical questions. And our plot with a bulldozer is no exception.

Please note that this is 1979. The drawing made four decades ago. But compositionally and technically looks like it was made yesterday, — phenomenon ageless Kocheyshvili. Boris — sixties, artist and poet. In the last few years his exhibitions were held in the best museums of the country. There are his drawings. But mostly new, and such. In addition, the sheet is pleasantly inexpensive.

Bob Koshelokhov — embodiment of style and spirit, the St. Petersburg art-подполья. A self-taught student of the vagrant philosopher, 1970-х he created art-объекты harvested from the trash of the trash. In 1980-х put the paint with a palette knife on top of the carpets. Under the influence of teachers Kleverov rebel Koshelkov more than twenty years refused to use traditional art materials. But now you can exhale. His urban landscape at our auction — is a normal canvas-масло. Work catalogue: published in the edition released to the St. Petersburg exhibition 2012.

"Home" Nasedkina, perhaps, the most visually clear picture of all that was in our bid. This time everything is clear, no need to guess where everything is. How do you read and spell: roof, wall, window, door. The main thing: what is Nasedkin be seen a mile away. Original neoexpressionist that with anybody not to confuse. Pictures of Nikolay Nasedkin is in the collections of the Tretyakov gallery, Russian Museum, Pushkin, MMC, etc. In 2009-м his "Painting with oil" was among the nominees of the Kandinsky Prize for project of the year. Today the artist is at the peak of creative forms, he regularly hosts a vivid exhibition, and a collector of his work will be doubly interesting.

Valery Nikitin — Moskovsky artist, graduate of art school, pupil of Helium Korzheva, a protégé of Pavel Nikonov. For thirty years he has worked in the official art, socialist realism, was exhibited at the Union and Republican exhibitions. Only at the beginning of 2000-х he began a new phase — modernist, neoekspressionisty. Him-то and belongs to the composition with two fish "Swimming in different directions." The picture with the idea, and also one of the most affordable in our directory.

Well, no one is forgotten.
