2023: Building a Company
On November 20, 2023, it was announced the creation of an auction holding in Russia, which should become an analogue of the "Russian trading" Christie's and Sotheby's. The new organization merged the Moscow Auction House, the Auction House of the Graphics Collectors Club and the St. Petersburg Auction House.
According to RBC, the co-founders of the structure were the creator and administrative director of the Research Independent Examination named after P.M. Tretyakov Alexander Popov, art critic and author of the exhibitions of the Club of Graphic Collectors Sergei Podstanitsky, collector and art dealer Mehman Chalabiev, as well as historian, author of the first catalog of the Hermitage art gallery Fedor Svetlakov.
The first bidding on December 3, 2023 will be held on its own platform and on the Bidspirit online trading platform. They will feature a series of landscapes "Villa" by Boris Kustodiev (70 million rubles), "Summer Landscape" by Ivan Shishkin (23 million rubles), a sketch by Viktor Vasnetsov "The Gray Warrior" (2.2 million) and a number of other paintings. The main lot will be the canvas "Ship at sea against the background of the mountains" by Ivan Aivazovsky in 1891. It is expected that the sale cost will be 55 million rubles.
The holding will occupy the segment of "Russian trading" Christie's and Sotheby's, which were previously actively engaged in sales of Russian art, especially in the 2000s. However, after the start of the military special operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine, auction houses canceled the auction of Russian art.[1]
