This Friday at 12:00 we'll summarize the next available auction of art from private collections. Interesting authors, a bold work, friendly prices. And no more snow on the pictures: enough to celebrate the spring!

First top-лотом February curator's bidding, no doubt, is a meter-long canvas "Square" by Vasily Shulzhenko. Yes, this is the the author hard provocative blockbusters "Public toilet", "Vanka! You died?!" and others. Stories Shulzhenko census spread on the Internet, his paintings can be seen in the Museum of the Institute of Russian realist art and private collections progressive. This is a classic case where, having seen once, never forgotten. His paintings either love or hate — indifferent no. On the General background "Square" — perfect collection version. Comfortable flats plus size brand shuljakovsky the story: people are "resting" under the empty gaze of the concrete Lenin. This square can be found in every second village, after driving 20 kilometers from Moscow. All-Russia "all last". The picture on the brink of a foul, but not a full "extreme".

As unique, Shulzhenko phenomenal auction liquidity. Of the 13 times that he exhibited 12 times was sold. And 11 times the paintings were sold for more than $10 000. In this place a little secret: the reserve at this picture we have two or even four times lower than the previous prices at foreign auctions.

"the Birth of Venus" artist the Lion Tabenkina (son of Elijah Tabenkina sixties) — the second value of painting auction. Not only because the author is expensive (it works on foreign bidding twice to cross $100 000). And not just because it's big, more than a meter. She has a fundamentally important difference from the main body of the paintings of Leo Tabenkina, earlier put up for auction. "The birth of Venus" — unusually light thing carries a positive charge, just glows. Yes, and done in a bright palette. Both pretty rare for creativity Tabenkina. In the end, we face a unique collector's item, which, though to the living room, even in the bedroom. The reserve is quite friendly — about $5 000.

"Players dominoes — 2" Alexander Ishin is another example of good art at a good price. The ideal meter size, brand naive bast-романтический style, a good story. For those who collect the theme of the games is a godsend. Ishin – sixties, very recognizable, there are in many collections. Time to buy it works perfect today, they are not expensive and there is a choice. But not always, good choices, don't lose.

Modern cherubs, hooliganism on canvas N888K, bow and arrow, and in fact to anything. To defeat hearts stick with a sharp tip turned into a completely useless shell. Store feelings with the development of civilization has evolved and become immune. Heart, who grew up in the era of insincerity, Kevlar armor protects a sober calculation. And just to get into the hearts of lovers almostimpossible: change the battle positions is now taking place with unprecedented speed. Maybe that's why Cupid Nikolai Nikolaev armed with a slingshot. To light a pea in the forehead, and will not help, as the screen of the smartphone, though, as-то to attract attention and break through the wall of indifference. Here's a new doctrine of love. N888K no wonder nicknamed "the Russian Banksy". His weapon — accurate metaphors expressed by laconic means. It is important that the work N888K still afford novice collectors and art lovers with a low income.

Yes, this is Samarin-Тиль — legendary figure in the Leningrad underground since the early 1950-х, who became an artist and photographer. According to legend, his works of art Valentin Samarin (Valentin Smirnov) made after thirty in the walls of the psychiatric hospital where he was banged up bodies for the overly vigorous civic activity. In the early 1970-х til plunged into experimental photography, experimenting with the technology developing and fixing, invented his own style, which was named sanki. In his works figurative number combined with artistic abstraction — fancy moire, divorce. In 1974, Samarin participated in a resonant housing exhibition, independent photographers "Under the parachute" Konstantin Kuzminsky. Since 1978 participated in art-проектах organized by Timur Novikov. And in 1981, when the authorities made him an offer you can't refuse, Samarin emigrated. In Paris he also developed an intense activity. The benefit of the company gathered there clockwork. At auctions often you can find his photographs (or rather photocomposition) with your friends by Kotlarova-Толстым, model and the poetess Natalia Medvedeva and others.

In creating his photographs (abstractions, metaproterenol) Samarin often relies on intuition and chance. In one interview he talked about the nature of his photovoltech: "I never calculate solutions do not weigh chemicals. You must always give place to the case. If I start to think, plan and consciously to give the image a certain color, you will lose something significant. To catch the flow it is extremely important both in art and in life". Or : "I work with film, not with the negative and the finished print. Put this positive energy into the solution and wait. Sometimes I even forget what I have in the cell is... the Main — in what happens, not to interfere".

the Buyer the metaphysical composition of our trades can be pre-envied: nice job, an important name, this photo will be interesting.

Alexei Vaulin has a lot expressionistic works with figurative basis, but his element, his natural habitat — abstraction. With its non-objective works of Alexey Vaulin participated in the exhibition in the Tretyakov gallery "Moscow Abstraction. The second half of the twentieth century" (2003), and many other Museum and gallery projects. The artist many years fascinated by the philosophy of inner transformation of the modern man, his evolution, psychological and biological.In his abstract works sometimes discern the images of DNA molecules, allusions metabolic processes. However, abstraction always has a wide field of interpretations. Unambiguous remains the only high-energy works by the artist in the Prime of life.

"skinny" — expressionist genre work, written almost thirty years ago. The author, Evgeny Ginzburg, from late 1970-х years participated in the independent art exhibitions in the halls of the city Committee of graphic artists on Malaya Gruzinskaya.

On the reverse gouache recognizable Tamara Zinovieva, you can read "One squat" — obviously, the author's name. Again the artist startles the viewer outright biomorphic compositions. Its main theme — deep body as the totality of feelings and experiences. I had to read that on the paper of humanoid objects, she starts with a phase of automatic writing — with "color", which gradually grows image. Zinoviev not only the artist but also the critic. Today, her bold art is experiencing a new wave of interest in Moscow now is its exhibition. Gouache is large, written ten years ago, furnished and inexpensive. Word of advice: take a look.

"Legless pilgrim" Vladislav Zubarev — brave thing for collectors. Not everyone will dare to buy such plot. However, the work does not suffer from excessive natural. Like many works of Zubarev, she is devoted to the more philosophical task. No wonder the series is called "a pilgrimage to the man." Vladislav Zubarev — sixties, one of the most famous artists of the Studio "New reality" Elia Belutin.

Belyutin, by the way, was a teacher and Konyshev: in the late 1950-х taught her "the Polygraph". But those lessons and the impact — is, of course, things of bygone days. The Natta a Natta did not twists of fate, but first and foremost creative uncompromising originality and talent. Well, it certainly feels a kind of genre of primitivism, which she calls "reportage painting with elements of dreams," not all are happy. That is, hard on the fan. But really, those who love, love hard. How else to explain the phenomenal liquidity of its work? With Natta collectors have to be alert. Tell about when seeing your work at the exhibition, she suddenly was taken to write it directly into the wall. With her gone The work Konyshev is in the Tretyakov gallery and other museums around the country. Her work is often included in catalogues of international auctions.

Pankin called artist-математиком: for the love of analysis, the desire to findpatterns and derive formulas from the painting of his great colleagues. However, a private painting Pankin not always strict and mathematical in appearance. Its main direction he calls metalsrussia — explains what is involved about abstract abstraction. Pankin also a student Belyutina, attended classes at the Studio "New reality". In 1970-х he, the chief architect of Yegoryevsk, met with the legendary teacher and seriously took up art. However, it was too long ago, 40 years ago. In 1980-х Pankin was exhibited in the hall at Kashirke. Now his works have been regularly exhibited in galleries of contemporary art.

clean lines, open color, not a gradient — and this Toolkit Vladislav Ratner managed to do not concise geometric abstraction and realistic rural landscape. The painting was done 43 years ago. 1975 — is not even a "Committee" at the little Georgia, which later begin to exhibit the artist. Today Ratner paintings are in the Tretyakov gallery, the Museum "New Jerusalem" and many private collections.

Sixties Nicholas Rotanova we know primarily as an abstractionist. He began exhibiting in the mid-1960-х. Could make a career in the official art. But went to experimental painting. In the late 1960-х he began to refuse vystavkoma, to earn a living had teaching at the Correspondence University of arts. There is evidence that paintings Rotanova about this time bought a legendary art collector Costakis. But in General we can say that in the years he was gone into the shadows. Only in 1990-е resumed the exhibition process, and in 2009 a retrospective Rotanova held in the Tretyakov gallery (in Tolmachev). It showed not only his paintings and drawings, but "artist's book" on poems by Maximilian Voloshin, Marina Tsvetaeva and Gennadi Aigi. At Rotanova there are auction history, including a personal record at Sotheby's. However, his works-прежнему features high affordability. They remain affordable for many collectors.

Alexander Tripe he studied in Leningrad, in judacris named after Serov. But for many years works and lives in Pyatigorsk, in this picture. He likes to write about majestic nature of this mountain region, street scenes beloved city. The scar is easily recognized by the unusual palette — blue-зелено-филетовой where everything goes as if covered with mist. Painting of Alexander the Rumen are presented in the collection of MMC and regional museums.

Anatoly Purlik — artist feelings and experiences. The "plots" of his abstractions — is arranged on a plane of your own emotions and bright impressions. They bring them from distant travels, trips around the country, from tours of the city — from anyunusual life situations. It live pointless things perfectly balance the strict geometry of Clara Galitzine, where they were exhibited together.

Catchy and nice work with the old Testament story, so beloved by the Old masters. Not succumbed to blackmail Susanna, understand that their refusal comes to death, saved from the penalty and dishonor the young prophet Daniel. The one that was later deciphered the ominous message at the feast of the Babylonian king Belshazzar. Bible stories, ancient legends, ancient Chinese history — favorite topics Tula artist. Among his most famous cycles — "driving the merchants," "the Court of Pilate" and, of course, "Susanna and the elders". Sakhnenko 1970-х changed several art institutes: it was excluded (both from the Penza judacris in 1979), then left myself. He gives the impression of a loner. As a self-sufficient people, he did not get along in the system imposed mentoring. Today the artist's paintings presented in the collection of the Museum "Erarta" and private collections. In 2016 in Moldova have released postage stamps with the reproduced picture Sakhnenko "Dean" (portrait of Dina Galdino).

Tatiana (THUN) — ringleader artel disabled-дальтоников "Artists of the BMA", the founder of the contemporary art center in Lipetsk, participant of exhibitions in the leading Moscow galleries of contemporary art. One of the main artists of the "new naive", of course, is self-taught. The education of the student technologist foundry. And yet this is a Prime example of what the artist — is not only technical skills, but primarily intellectual work. With tatyaninym is always interesting: it is a fountain of ideas, interesting dialogue with the great (Boyce, Malevich, etc.), fixing the absurdity of the moment. In his satirical work at desire it is possible to reconstruct the modern history of Russia. And I'd say it's even better that the "Lower Park" — thing slightly out of time. Peaceful, not without the elements of relevance, but without desperate grotesque that one could get bored. For the collection a very good option. And at least one work Tatyanin need it to have.

Typical inexpensive graphics of the famous Russian sixties. "Mammoth in a frozen block" (in the words of Vitaly Patsyukova) in the early 1950-х he worked as an engraver-чеканщиком at the metallurgical plant in Zlatoust. In the late 1950-х he moved to Zagorsk and became apprenticed to the famous sculptor (1930-е sent Lunacharsky in Paris) Dmitry Tsaplin. Formalist, edgy, emotional art Chubarov he closed many roads in the art of the Soviet Union. And in Russia, 1990-х he did not have time to fully enjoy the recognition. Information about the mysterious "Mytishchi recluse", the author of powerful sculptural heads in front of the Tretyakov gallery, does not spread rapidly among new collectors and art-lovers. About it spoke highly of taverns and criticism, but Chubarov was stillthe artist for their own. The surge of interest in his art happened in 2007-2008, when its huge abstraction, created in Germany, went to foreign auctions for many hundreds of thousands of dollars. But it is painting. And expressionist graphics at-прежнему available to a wide range of collectors: the leaves can be bought at auctions, from 20 000 rubles.

Avetik abadjian received formal art education and, like many seventies, alone possessed the skill and labor paved the way in art. Threw MEI, 1970-е he worked as a porter, a watchman and also studied etching at Vladimir Ilyushchenko. Since 1980, exhibited in the city Committee schedules on the little Georgia. Brushwork Avetik sometimes interpreted as a form of primitive, but it is not so. For primitive it all-таки too thin. It is, rather, a very concise painting experience, buying the palette, but it accurately captured the mood.

Irina Vasilieva — St. Petersburg artist. In the late 1990-х exhibited with the "Mitki". And in mid-2000-х, returning to traditional painting and writing from life, together with like-minded people organized a "Society of Amateurs of painting and drawing." Presented at the auction landscape "Sun in forest" written rapidly, expertly, rapid movements of the brush. Work Irina Vasilyeva, located mostly in the St. Petersburg museums — in "Erarta", the State Museum "Tsarskoye Selo collection" and the Museum of Nonconformist Art.
