During the Antique Saloon the SOVCOM Art Gallery will hold its auction as well. Some of its top-lots will be displayed at the SOVCOM booth in the Central House of Artist during the first days of the saloon. Frankly speaking, the most significant lot of the auction will not be delivered to Krimskaya Naberezhnaya, as this article is very huge. It is the largest 230 x 290 canvas of the micropainting by Vasiliy Milioti “Three Nymphs”, 1902; - nymphs with slanting and lewd eyes are spinning in mad dancing at the vague background. The work has been estimated at $1 mln.

The SOVCOM Art Gallery, which started exceptionally with the social realism, is gradually shifting its focus to the Russian Art dated the end of the XIX – beginning of the XX century, traditionally collected in our country. Among 190 lots with total value of $6 mln. there are pictures created by the itinerants (such as Stanislav Zhukovskiy and Stepan Kolesnikov), representatives of the Paris school (Nickolay Tarkhov, Andrey Lanskoy). The Gallery even decided to offer the public some Russian avant-guard works, including the watercolor sketch of the decorative panel for the Winter Palace in Petrograd on the occasion of the First Session of the Rural Proletariat Committee in 1918 created by Kazimir Malevich himself (estimated at $280-300.000). The collage “The Running” by Lev Lavin, the artist who belonged to the Malevich’s circle (1919, $15-17.000) and the autolithography by Vasiliy Kandinskiy (1930-s, $12-14.000)
But the “Soviet section” offered by the SOVCOM is still very large. Here you will find a wide selection of works by “Stalin academicians”, such as Sergey Gerasimov, representatives of the “rigid style” and Soviet art classicists, such as Georgiy Nisskiy with the “Nude” 1958, which seems to “cry out” to join the world art of the XX century ($60-65.000)
The Russian Antique Saloon, since October 22 to 29. (12 a.m. – 8 p.m.); the SOVCOM Art Gallery Auction, October 28th (3 p.m.)
