We specialise in promoting and selling Russian paintings since 1989 when "perestroika" raised the curtain on the Art Scene in the USSR. Being Associated Dealers of Sothebys.com we occupy an honourable position in Art Sales, which is supported by the leading world-known art company. Bidders can buy with trust, ease and convenience for which Sotheby's is world-renowned. This in itself is another guarantee of a highly reliable service to our customers. You can buy them either directly from our site or compete against other bidders on Sothebys.com. All of our works are acquired directly from the artists or their close relatives and we guarantee their authenticity.
During the last few years we have worked in association with Christie's (South Kensington). Their experts in Contemporary Russian Art - Sarah Royston and Mark Jason together with our representatives made trips to Russia to select and assemble sales of 20th Century Russian Paintings. We are proud to say that we have organised or taken part in numerous exhibitions in the UK including those of internationally known Art Fairs in Olympia (South Kensington).
Most of the artists to be found on our site are members of the Russian Union of Artists and as such have been merited with outstanding artistic achievement. Their names can be found in major reference books on Art (Art Price Annual International, Art Sales Index, A Dictionary of 20th Century Russian and Soviet Painters, etc.). Our Artists category includes landscapes and still-lifes, portraits and genre scenes. Sizes are various and range from small sketches and studies on board to important large oil canvases which took years to create. Artistic approach is highly individual. You will find classical, impressionistic and modern art executed in different media.
