“Uncommercial auction. The Sovcom Gallery shows the brothers Tkachevs and their school”. Dmitriy Butkevich, Independent newspaper, No 64, March the 31st, 2006

Carrying out a “thematically” auctions became a real tendency of the operators, specialize in the Art of the Soviet period. There are some advantages; the audience can be precisely distinguished, to which apply the organizers of the sales for. In case a person don’t like a social realistic landscapes and genre- comes to the auction of the brothers Tkachevs. On the other hand we can consider as disadvantages an artificial minimization of buyers: those who don’t like the Soviet academicians paintings but prefer Zverev and Yakovlev, don’t come to such occasion.

Nevertheless this may seem more profitable for the firms deal with the Art of the Soviet period. The more important thing is that a collection of an exhibition or an auction looks complete and even perfect. The Sovcom Gallery opens in its building the exhibition which can be called “ The brothers Tkchevs and their school”, People’s Artists of USSR, academicians Alexey and Sergey Tkachevs- the most famous landscape painters of the second half of the 20th century. Sergey Petrovich for a long time headed the Artists Union of RSFSR in 1970-1980. The both brothers more than 30 years head the studio of painting of the Russian Academy of Arts. During these years the whole pleiad of artists were grown up there, People’s and Honored Artists of Russia. The works of these artists as well as the works of the masters – the brothers Tkachevs are presented at the exhibition at the Sovcom Gallery. The brothers offered for the exhibition and for the following auction that will take place at the 8th of April the works of the late period. The earliest is the landscape “Mlevo village”(78 x78) painted in 1989. It is estimated for 25-28 thousand dollars. Village genre “Summer” (80 x 110; 1998) becomes the most expensive lot of the auction: it is estimated for 35-38 thousand dollars. Practically so high is estimated a recent work “ Spring rein” (85 x 85; 2004), it is estimated for 30-33 thousand dollars. Among the graduating students of the Tkachevs’ studio whose works will be presented at the sales at the auction at the 8th of April, we can point out a Honored artist of Russia N.
