One of the top-лотов the Russian part of the auction will be the work of a Soviet artist, a bright representative of the Leningrad school of Alexander Samokhvalov. The picture "the bus" valued at $120 000-180 000, written a year before the artist's death. Unlike the famous works that reflect the inner life of the Soviet intelligentsia, as, for example, awarded a gold medal at the International exhibition in Paris "the Girl in the shirt" for sale work illustrates a microcosm of everyday life of Soviet working society.

Closely cropped scene is taking place among the alleged strangers in the shadows inside the bus, very intimate and dynamic. Every passenger ready for action: a woman, sitting with his back to the viewer from the rain blurred the window, grabbed the handrail standing in front of the seat, making ready to rise and escape at the next stop; or a man at the door looked up and as if about to start a conversation.

Indeed, public transport, the cornerstone of modern life, has long been a popular destination for artists for the convergence of public and private, interior and exterior. Russian picturesque tradition could never abandon the hidden poetic potential of the everyday traveler, starting from the stages of metro 30-х years of the last century to the photorealistic paintings of Semyon Faibisovich.

Another top-лотом the Russian part of the auction will be the impressive work of Konstantin Gorbatov. This inspiring view of a seaside village is a shining example of love of the famous impressionist Italian sea coast. Neapolitan coastal landscape, created by the master in 1926 and registered in the database of artist's works for sale with a conservative estimate $70 000-90 000.

in Addition, the sale will be exhibited rare Russian icons, Soviet posters, decorative objects from the famous Russian masters.
