The 10 Most Expensive Artworks Ever Purchased at Auction




When considering the question of who is the greatest artist of all time, the laurels could go to Pablo Picasso who sweeps the premium category with three paintings in the 10 most expensive artworks purchased at auction including #2 – Nude Green Leaves and Bust (1932), #3 – Garçon à la Pipe (1905), and #5 – Dora Maar au Chat (1941).  The list also includes a relative newcomer in the #1 slot, Edvard Munch’s The Scream (1895) purchased in May 2012 at Sotheby’s New York by financier Leon Black for almost $120,000,000.  This is one of four versions of the famous howl, and the only one remaining in private hands.  Reaching back in time, one purchase, and #9 on our list, is a hold-over remaining from the Japanese bubble economy of the late 1980s.  Portrait of Dr. Gachet (1890) by Vincent Van Gogh was purchased for $82,500,000 in May of 1990 at Christie’s New York by the now deceased Japanese industrialist Ryoei Saito who expressed a wish that upon his death this painting be cremated with him.  While it has been confirmed that this was not the fate of Van Gogh’s masterpiece, the painting’s current whereabouts remain unknown.  Other artists making the cut include Alberto Giacometti, Gustav Klimt, Francis Bacon and Claude Monet.

ART HOTEL in ROMA


Via Alberto Cadlolo 101, 00136 Rome, Italy
Average $235-$500/night
While some hotels immerse guests into modern art installations on the walls of their rooms, the luxurious Rome Cavalieri Hotel offers guests the experience of staying on the grounds of their own private museum. The richly historic collection spans paintings, sculptures and decorative arts by Italian and international masters over the centuries, giving guests the unique experience of living with these masterworks, rather than viewing them from behind the guard ropes of a traditional museum. An in house art historian is always available for extensive tours of the hotel’s incredible collection.

В одной из самых авторитетных манхэттенских художественных галерей 25 CPW прошел вернисаж работ (картин, скульптур, инсталляций), отобранных жюри Международного фестиваля искусств (IAF-2013), завершающего работу в Нью-Йорке.
Выставку составили сто работ мастеров искусств со всего света. Один из кураторов проекта, директор нью-йоркского Музея русского искусства (MoRA) Марго Грант с удовлетворением отметила:
- В этом году критики фокусируют свое внимание на огромном успехе современных «русских» художников, творящих в различных странах мира. В каталоге выставки – имена Ивана Братко, Елены Фаттаховой, Анны Рубиной, Валерия Жарких и др. Часть из них популярна и востребована уже сегодня; многие артефакты обещают побить все рекорды роста своей стоимости уже в самое ближайшее время.

In one of Manhattan's most respected art galleries (opening day was 25 CPW) the works (paintings, sculptures, installations), were selected by the jury of the International Festival of Arts (IAF-2013) by the end of the  work in New York.
The exhibition was madefrom  ​​one hundred works of artists all around the world. One of the curators of the project, the director of the New York Museum of Russian Art (MoRA) Margo Grant noted with satisfaction:
- This year, the critics focused their attention on the huge success of modern "Russian" artists who create in the various countries of the world. In the exhibition catalog  are the names of Ivan Bratko, Helena Fattakhova, Anna Rubin, Valeria Zharkikh, etc. Some of them are popular and in demand today, and many artifacts promise to break all records of growth of its value in the very near future.

2. Справка: "трофейное искусство": FROM RUSSIA

Все виды текстовых услуг: копирайт, рерайт, магазин статей, наполнение сайтов, переводы, smo — Адвего
Украшения из Эберсвальдского клада
По данным российской стороны, в годы Второй мировой войны Германия вывезла из Советского Союза более 560 тысяч произведений искусства, около 100 тысяч археологических находок, уничтожила либо вывезла 180 миллионов книг. Крупнейшие музеи Украины за годы Второй мировой войны утратили около 300 тысяч экспонатов, подавляющее большинство из них сейчас находится в частных коллекциях в европейских странах.
Янтарную комнату, изготовленную в начале XVIII века в Пруссии и подаренную Петру I в 1716 году, разграбили войска вермахта. В 1755-1757 годах российский зодчий итальянского происхождения Варфоломей Растрелли разместил Янтарную комнату в Екатерининском дворце в Царском Селе (ныне Пушкине). Интерьер украшали привезенные из Флоренции четыре мраморные мозаики. В 1942 году янтарные плиты вместе с другими фрагментами комнаты были выставлены в Кенигсбергском замке. Последний раз их видели в 1944 г., после чего следы Янтарной комнаты теряются. Кроме того, из Екатерининского дворца были вывезены коллекции книг и рукописей. В 2000 году два фрагмента Янтарной комнаты - мозаика "Осязание и обоняние" и комод - были выкуплены у частных немецких коллекционеров и возвращены в Россию.
В годы Второй мировой войны Смоленск потерял пять рукописных Евангелий XV-XVI веков, Псков - три Библии XVI-XVII вв., в том числе Библию издания Франциска Скорины 1517-1519 годов.

1. Справка: "трофейное искусство" FROM FERMANY


Украшения из Эберсвальдского кладаСпор между Германией и Россией о судьбе предметов и документов, имеющих большую историческую, научную, художественную или культурную ценность, и захваченных во время Второй мировой войны, длится несколько десятков лет.
В 1998 году Госдума России приняла закон, который признал почти все предметы "трофейного искусства" собственностью российского государства. Российская сторона расценивает эти вещи как компенсацию за ущерб, причиненный СССР нацистами. В свою очередь ФРГ продолжает настаивать на том, что все эти ценности должны быть возвращены ей согласно международному праву (4-й Гаагской конвенции 1907 года) и российско-германским договоренностям 90-х годов.
По подсчетам немецкого фонда "Прусское культурное наследие", в России находится более одного миллиона объектов "трофейного искусства" и около 4,6 млн. редких книг и манускриптов, вывезенных из Германии после Второй мировой войны. Свыше 200 тысяч из этих произведений искусства имеют музейную ценность. По данным российской стороны, речь идет примерно о 1,3 млн. книг, 250 тысячах музейных предметов и более 266 тысяч архивных дел.
Золото Шлимана хранится в запасниках Музея имени Пушкина в Москве. Речь идет о чашах, вазах и украшениях, найденных при раскопках Трои немецким археологом Генрихом Шлиманом. 180 предметов он передал в 1883 году в Петербург, остальные завещал немецкому народу. До 1945 года коллекция Шлимана экспонировалась в берлинском Музее древней истории и истории раннего периода (музее Пергамон).
Золотое сокровище Эберсвальде (золотые слитки, чеканные чаши и украшения) считают одной из самых важных находок золотых изделий периода первобытного общества на территории Германии.. Коллекция насчитывала 81 изделие и хранилась в Музее древней истории и истории раннего периода в Берлине. Скйчас сокровища находятся в московском Музее имени Пушкина.
Часть коллекции сокровищ Меровингов (древнейшей королевской династии франков), насчитывающая около 480 экспонатов была вывезена из Германии в Москву советскими войсками в июне 1945 года и размещена в запасниках нескольких музеев.
Вартбургская оружейная палата (Вартбург - гора рядом с городом Эйзенах на востоке Германии), в которой хранилось военное снаряжение, в том числе рыцарские доспехи короля Генриха II, была вывезена советскими войсками в СССР 8 февраля 1946 года Часть сокровищ советская сторона передала ГДР в начале 60-х годов.
42-строчная библия первопечатника Иоганна Гутенберга, хранившаяся в Немецком музее книги и шрифта в Лейпциге, была вывезена из Германии в СССР вместе с другими экспонатами в октябре 1945 года. Ныне она находится в Российской государственной библиотеке имени Ленина. Ее стоимость оценивается более чем в 20 млн. долларов.
Собрание Отто Кребса, насчитывавшее более 100 картин, в 30-е годы. считали самой крупной частной коллекцией произведений импрессионистов в Германии. В собрании были полотна Ван Гога, Гогена, Моне, Ренуара, скульптуры Дега, Майоля. Экспонаты, вывезенные советскими солдатами в 1946 году, были вновь обнаружены в 90-е годы в хранилищах Эрмитажа в Санкт-Петербурге. Из вывезенных 98 картин отсутствуют 20.
Библиотека города Гота. Большая часть ее (330 тысяч из 400 тысяч рукописных и печатных фолиантов), перевезенной после войны в Москву и Ленинград, была возвращена ГДР. Но бесследно исчезли более 5000 инкунабул - первопечатных книг XV века. Они представляют большую ценность, так как были первыми книгами, напечатанными с помощью разборных литер.
"Балдинская коллекция". В начале 2003 года Генпрокуратура России запретила тогдашнему министру культуры Михаилу Швыдкому возвращать Германии - 362 рисунка и две картины европейских мастеров (Тициана, Рафаэля, Рембрандта, Рубенса, Ван Дейка, Дюрера, Ван Гога) из музея искусств в Бремене, вывезенных в СССР в июле 1945 года капитаном Виктором Балдиным. В апреле 2006 года заместитель руководителя Росохранкультуры Анатолий Вилков сообщил, однако, что "балдинская коллекция" все же вернется в Германию. 
Кроме того, в России на художественном рынке и в частных коллекциях есть немало картин и других ценностей, которые тоже были вывезены из послевоенной Германии советской стороной, но либо не подпадают под категорию перемещенных ценностей, либо имеют спорный статус.

Does this J.C. Penney tea kettle look like Hitler?

Politics and design. Look at this pictures. Is it true?


A tea kettle that bears a potential resemblance to Adolf Hitler has landed J.C. Penney in hot water.
A California billboard advertising a Michael Graves-designed kettle for sale at the store has some wondering whether they are being saluted by the Nazi dictator instead of waiting for tea to heat up.
The billboard, first noticed by Reddit users near the 405 freeway in Culver City, had readers questioning whether the similarity was just a coincidence.

START=UP PLATFORM

Art.sy - платформа, которая облегчает коллекционерам поиск и покупку произведений искусства, а простым пользователям поиск информации о предметах искусства. Art.sy сейчас – это огромная база данных из 25000 работ, 10 000 из которых готовы к продаже. Стартап привлек 7,25 млн. долларов инвестиций , закрыв два раунда финансирования, от: Eric Schmidt, Jack Dorsey, Keith Rabois, David Tisch, Charlie Cheever, Dave Morin, Peter Thiel, Josh Kushner's Thrive Capital, Wendi Murdoch, и Dasha Zhukova.



Art.sy предлагает коллекционерам удобный поиск произведений искусства. Продажа произведений искусства больше не ограничивается аукционами.
Цель стартапа - сделать доступным мир искусства для каждого человека с помощью Интернет.

На TechCrunch Disrupt NYC в мае 2010 года Art.sy получил премию "Rookie Disruptor Award" за их поисковую систему, которая позволяет пользователям находить произведения искусства с помощью стиля, категории, размера, цвета и многого другого. Art.sy также использует social graph пользователей, чтобы предложить персональные рекомендации и дать возможность сделать потрясающее арт-открытие. 

Создателями Art.sy являются научный инженер Картер Кливланд и разработчик Себастья Кливич. 
Возможно, следуя опыту Google, Netflix или Pandora, стартап монетизирует свою бизнес-модель, а может быть, он найдет свой собственный подход в этом отношении. Но пока можно просто восхититься тем, что проект пытается одолеть такую сложную задачу. Формула успеха Pandora может и не сработать применительно к арт-индустрии, где все же нужно рассматривать произведения, но это, несомненно, хороший и важный опыт.

Что касается перспектив этой ниши в целом. Объем глобального рынка искусства превышает $80 млрд, поэтому, несмотря на то, что онлайн-продажи картин пока только начинают завоевывать доверие аудитории, этот сектор очень перспективен. По всему миру интерес к таким проектам растет, что отражается на их рентабельности.

The price of a Picasso loan Musée Picasso director reveals the cost of borrowing



By Gareth Harris | From issue 223, April 2010
Published online 6 Apr 11 (Museums)
Anne Baldassari defends the Musée Picasso’s loan fees
Anne Baldassari defends the Musée Picasso’s loan fees
PARIS. The director of the Musée Picasso has defended her decision to organise an international touring exhibition to raise money for the Paris museum’s renovation. Anne Baldassari, the museum’s director, told Le Monde: “Producing exhibitions abroad is our only resource. Japanese museums suggested remuneration for loans, which has been a practice of US and European museums for a while.” She added that money received also helps finance conservation and acquisitions.
Baldassari revealed the museum raised between €1m and €3.5m a year since 2008 from the touring exhibition “Masterpieces from the Picasso Museum”. It has visited eight cities so far, including Madrid, Helsinki and Tokyo. “We have made [in total] €16m,” she said, adding that the museum levied different charges for loans. “The tariffs vary according to the number of works, the team [involved] and the expertise.”
In 2005 the museum lent paintings and sculptures to Berlin’s Neue Nationalgalerie exhibition “The Private Picasso” for a €700,000 fee, a museum spokeswoman confirmed.
The Musée Picasso has over 5,000 works, including 3,700 works on paper, in its collection. Closed for renovation since late 2009, it hopes to raise €23m towards the €45m refurbishment of its home, a 17th-century townhouse. The ministry of culture will provide €19m, which “leaves €3.5m, which I’m certain we’ ll find”, says Baldassari. The museum is due to reopen in spring 2013.
Baldassari’s comments follow the publication earlier this year of a report by the General Association of Curators of French Public Collections expressing concern about cuts in state funding for French museums. Over 1,000 curators signed the document that reportedly criticised the “extreme free-market logic” increasingly adopted by national museums, a barb aimed at the Musée Picasso.
“My aim is to find ways of reopening this museum to the biggest audience possible,” said Baldassari, adding: “Our exhibitions are not mercantile, cynical or without value.”
The director was recently at the centre of another furore when she refused to loan 12 works to the Kunsthaus Zürich for its 100th anniversary Picasso show, which closed in January. Baldassari said that some of these pieces were too fragile to travel.
She also added that there was a “loan freeze” implemented by the French government in 2009 for works that were not already on tour.

THE IDEA TO CREATE ONE MORE PRIVATE GALLERY


Surfing through the vast expanses of the Internet suddenly stumbled across very interesting question of an active art gallery director: what could attract visitors to some private gallery in Moscow? He did not ask about the gallery, where he was a head, but of some private one which he was asked to run by the owners in the nearest future.

Not an easy question to be answered, because now in the capital of Russia there is a significant number of private galleries, some of them with very non-artistic names, for example, Winery, Garage, while others, personal, by the names and on behalf of the famous artists - Glazunov, Tsereteli, Shilov. But, that's bad luck, an attempt to determine how many of such galleries now in Moscow, didn’t provide a result. At the same time it turned out that even LiveInternet do not show statistics of the virtual galleries in RuNet, but it is not obliged..

Nevertheless all of us can agree that the more places exist for the dissemination of true artistic creations - the better. And undoubtedly, in any case it’s necessary to determine what the most fans are now interested in contemporary art. From the  whole set of preferences we have to choose the most vivid parts attracting their attention. Then you can build a vision for the future gallery, which will form the basis from several particular items, ranging from the appearance to the accompanying service and may be even industries.

It turbed out that there were not so many but some versatile respondents for this answer: the head of the department, a poet, a freelance artist, a composer, an art Coucher and a brand manager. All of them came to the conclusion that  the only exposition is too weak attempt to draw the audience.Therefore it was proposed to make several additional formats - a school of painting, may be a design bureau, a baguette boutique and especially a creative club with a restaurant and even a wine shop. It would be nice to issue some discount card, but the most basic - to convey information about holding solo exhibitions in a proper way, including dates when the artist will come personally. The exhibitions must be dynamic and organized as often as possible.

Good idea, undoubtedly,  to use also an arcenal of modern technology: for example, some vuisual kinetic paintings on displays that are created on the spot, accompanied by  relevant music.

The auhors of these ideas didn’t mention Internet media, but who now doesn’t place their own websites, where with the help of some small  favicons the galleries can be connected with the social networks. Anybody  can invite newborn and unknown artists, offering to vote for their creations, as the Saatchi online does, and to form in such a way their future expositions and collections.

Unfortunately, gallery owners and dealers hide the secrets of their knowledge which were not shared. But may be the person  already working as the gallery director, is informed in a due course about the opinions of the experts related to contemporary art, and even knows the names of famous  collectors to be familiar to their secret passions. Therefore, if ...
 a team of real enthusiasts will be properly recruited,
the opinions of the various branches professionals from  the designer to the advertiser (do not forget about the artists themselves!) will be taken into consideration,
one or two non-trivial tricks will be applied to draw attention to the ptivate gallery,
- then you can begin to create its name.
To do this, nowadays there are only two ways: a laborious daily work for long-term period or
 expensive and grandiose opening accompanied by several scandals with known public persons.

New methods of Art Advertisement


Twitter — a new place for Art promotion

In New-York the new way of Art advertisiment through Rwitter  appeared. They say that there is a lot of perspectives in this method for development.
The idea to promote the exhibition of George Condo"Mental States" and attract attantion to his works is really original. The organizer of this process is the ads agency Droga5. The general director Andrew Essex claimed that it's the attempt to make application for critiques of art pieces in real time.
 Together with the New Museum and Ad Agency one of the most famous publication of the US - The New York Tomes - takes part in this project. Its opinion on Art will be added by the opinion of the ordinary people.
This action will run when in the special places in the underground and in publications some of the artist popular works appear. And two main phrases appear: from official publications with excitements and from ordinary people in Twitter. In this case it'll be clear if the opinions are different or not. They supposed that it's very successful idea for discussing on the most problems of other social events and problems.

As soon as I introduced a new page on Facebook I got the first letter from an artist whom I don't know yet.

So I'm happy to get his letter and glad to introduce him:



His name is  Bernard Maricau and you can find more about his creations on  bernardmaricau.com.

I plan to make a description of his biography and works later as this blog will be developed. Now it's only links and a little piece of information.
