Money in chairs and pictures.
Money in chairs and pictures.
THE MORE at people of money, the more they presume.
It something like a slogan of new bourgeoises. But cars, apartments,
Membership in clubs all the same - articles of expenses. Whereas
Expensive and widely popular in narrow circles of a hobby -
The collecting can be carried to article of incomes. If
Taste and intuition will not allow to increase in the future the capital, something
Favourably having sold from the meeting, anyway,
Money will be saved. Provided that ashtrays are going to not
From hotels and not telephone cards. Still more recently subjects
The period furniture could buy for copecks. No less than
"Botched work" of six-foremen. Today the question rests not so much in
THAT is on sale, how much in WHERE is on sale.
Auctions.
AUCTIONS though on them at first sight all and is expensive, it is similar
To clubs. There come not only to buy something concrete, but also
To communicate with similar so, to feel a fashion and
Tendencies. According to the international year-book information "п ayer",
On the average for a year in the different countries of the world passes nearby 2700
Antikvarno-art auctions. (Represent, on 7
Auctions in day!) I know one galerista which is in time
To visit in a year it is not less hundred. Speak, it is an absolute record.
As to Moscow the attention is deserved by the antiquarian
Salons in TSDH. The Total sum of sales makes about 300 thousand dollars
It is decent level: not sold jobs on the average remains
Percent 30. Naturally, auctions thematic. But if
To look, that was bought, say, about five years ago and that
It is bought now, it is possible to tell - Russian art "have gorged on".
Ayvazovsky, Levitan, Shishkin, Vrubel, Walked, Falk have emigrated
From museums in private collections. There while remain. For example,
"The hero at the crossroads" Vasnetsova (a variant of the picture with the same name
It is stored in Russian museum), having stayed for a while in TSDH, was in due time
It is sold for 104,5 thousand dollars to private collector.
Last time bolshy interest calls the European
Art. Most likely, it is connected by that the prices on
The West European masters above, than on the same level of Russian
Artists. All know, that during the Soviet period for nothing
Many subjects of Russian art have been taken out. It should
To affect the market: to buy the Russian costed in the West, and
To sell in Russia. But today to hold money all the same it is more favourable in
Pictures of Westerners.
Auctions are interesting to collectors also because
To buy there it is safe. From fakes protect the conclusions of the known
Museum experts. And at the collecting initial stage atributsija
Tretyakov gallery should instal confidence. But than it is more in process
You understand, the more clearly, that in one country of the world leaders
Museums not atributirujut products exposed on auctions. It
It is considered a bad form and can affect reputation of a museum: after all
For atributsiju money, and while a museum in the commercial pays
Activity it is not noticed, its trustees receive the tax
Privileges. Therefore the conclusions about authenticity give the known
The research centres. I think, now it is clear, why
Kandinsky, which atributirovali in the similar centre in Munich,
In the market will be more expensive than Kandinsky, atributirovannogo, for example,
Russian museum.
Antique shops.
More chamber place for satisfaction of collection needs,
Certainly, an antique shop. At least because in a case
Partial absence of money of witnesses of this "shame" will be in
It is less than hundred times. But in benches it is accepted to buy ware more,
Interior subjects. To tell, that today on furniture is any
Fashion, difficultly. Unlike painting and a drawing the rest
The collecting has spontaneous character and completely depends
From tastes of the collector. Someone likes the Renaissance epoch - carved
Tables-lartsy, high big chairs, offices with an abundance of boxes.
Someone prefers roundish forms of baroque, someone - an abundance
Details and luxury of a rococo. It is possible to talk only about popularity
Tree grades: red and black for a long time have given way to a nut and
To beech. That is interesting, the prices for epoch do not differ almost the friend from
The friend is not surpassed also in cost by similar pieces of furniture
From fashionable modern designers.
Supervision of owners of shops show, that new Russian
Prefer more furniture without the past and often buy something
To make a copy. An unnecessary thing try to give
Back... More often even is cheaper. Perhaps, therefore the antiquarian
Shops bring in the quite good income. Probability to buy not
Epoch-making thing it is, of course, high. But auction finishes the
Job, and to experts can be difficult to phone during other time,
And benches work every day. Means, to return a thing and to express
Too it is possible every day. But one that antique shops (on
The Kuznetsk Bridge, on Petrovka, on the Frunze quay) years
Do not change the address, says, that similar problems at them while are not present.
