Antiquarians review auctions of the new season.
Practically all Moscow Auction Houses have conducted their bids in the second half of September – beginning of October this year. The presented collections became rather diverse, as well as results of the auctions.
The SOVCOM Art Gallery started as the initiator of these seasonal bids on September 20th. The Gallery offered its unusually wide and diversified 200 lots collection under the common title “Graphics, Posters, Porcelain and Sculpture”. The bids had success featuring such successful lots, which deserve to be mentioned as the team-work poster by P. Sokolov-Skalia and A. Plotnov “Glory to the Heroic Red Army!” sold for $7.000; the linoleum engraving by L. Lapin “The Football Player and Two Girls at the Table” for $4.000, as well as 4 water colour paintings dd. 1920-s by V. Glinka, the composer’s niece, estimated by customers at $3.000.
Just in a fortnight the SOVCOM Art Gallery conducted one more bids on October 4th. 128 lots out of 156 (i.e. approximately 80%) were sold during the bids and 4 lots – after the auction. Small landscapes by S. Gerasimov were estimated by customers at $13.000 and $15.000. V. Stozharov’s early work dd. 1946 “A.S. Pushkin and the Copper Horseman” was auctioned off for $12.000. A classical work of social realism “Gaidar with Pioneers” was sold for $15.000. In the end of the auction selling short generated considerable public excitement and as the result many works were auctioned for $500-1500, that seems “funny” for antiquary market.
