THE ART NEWSPAPER RUSSIArepresents the rating: the most expensive artists of Russia from now living. If you are still confident that there were no Russian artists in the western foundation, we are ready to argue with it. Language numbers.

The conditions were simple: each of the living artists could be represented only by one, the most expensive work. In the preparation of the rating, not only the results of public auction trading, but the most high-tech private sales were taken into account. The authors of the rating were guided by the principle "If something loudly is sold, it means that someone needs it," and therefore appreciated the work of marketers and press managers of artists who have made record private sales to the public. Important note: the rating is compiled exclusively by financial indicators; If he was based on the exhibition activity of artists, it would look somewhat different. External sources for analytics served resources ArtNet.com, ArtPrice.com, Skatepress.comand ARTINVESTMENT.RU..

The currency of the world ranking was chosen by the US dollar, the British pound sterling was taken as the equivalent of sales of Russian artists (since 90% of domestic sales took place in London in this currency). The remaining 10% of the works sold in US dollars and the euro, at the rate at the time of the transaction, as a result of which some positions changed the place. In addition to the actual cost of the work, data were collected about the overall capitalization of artists (the number of top work sold at all years), about the place of a modern artist in the ranking of artists of all times, about the place of the participant's dear job among all the works of other authors, and Also about nationality and country of residence. Important information contains statistics of repeated sales of each artist as an objective investment indicator
Attractiveness.

The last year, 2013 significantly changed the position of modern artists in the international sales rank. From the top 50 most expensive works of art last season, 16 modern was sold - a record number (for comparison, 17 works took from 2010 to 2012, in the twentieth century there are only one sale). The demand for living artists is identical in part in demand for all contemporary art, partly a cynical understanding that the capitalization of assets after their death will invariably increase.

Among Russian participants the most respects were brothers Sergey and Alexey Tkachevy (r. 1922 and 1925), the youngest - Anatoly Osmolovsky (r. 1969). The question of who will become new Jean-Michel Baskia, while open. In sales of our artists, clear classes of buyers are visible: the leaders buy foreign collectors and Russian oligarchs, places from the 10th to the 30th provide emigrant collectors, and the conditional bottom Top-50 is our future, which came to the market young collectors with "new »Money.

Sales vs exhibitions

The recognition of the market and recognition of the professional community to many seems to be different things, but dividing on the "commercial" and "non-commercial" artists is very conditional. So, from Russian artists who have exhibited in the last ten years in the Venetian Biennale of Contemporary Art (and this is the top of a professional career), seven units (if you consider personnel, then 11 people) fell into our rating. And the top 10 artists from the rating or exhibited on Biennale in Venice earlier, or had personal exhibitions in large museums. As for those wonderful masters, who did not fall into the rating, their absence or not too outstanding sales are explained simply and trite. Collectors are conservative and even in the most avant-garde creators prefer to buy paintings (paintings, similar to the pictures of objects or photographs) or sculpture (or objects similar to the sculpture). In our ranking there are no record performances or giant installations (installations usually buy museums, but also the price there is a museum, with a discount). That is why these stars did not fall into the rating like Andrei Monastic, Oleg Kulik, Pavel Peprestein(until recently did mostly schedule, and the graphics of a priori are cheaper than painting) or, for example, Nikolai PolisskyAt whose grand constructions did not find so far understanding collectors.

In addition, the market is conservative also because the recognition comes slowly - note that in the TOP-10, all artists are not younger than born in 1950. That is, the prospective participants of Biennale is still ahead.

Modern art is customary to call all sorts of artistic flows that have developed at the end of the XX century. In the postwar period, it was a kind of outstanding, newly learned people to dream and invent new life realities.

Tired of the shackles of the harsh rules of the past, young artists decided to break the former artistic norms. They sought to create new ones to these unknown practices. By opposing himself to modernism, they turned to new ways to disclose their plots. The artist and the concept standing for his creation became much more important than the very end of creative activity. The desire to move away from the erected framework led to the emergence of new genres.

Among the artists began to arise disputes about the meaning of art and how to express it. What is art? What means can I achieve genuine art? Conceptualists and minimalists found an answer for themselves in the phrase: "If art can be all, it may be anything." For them, departure from the usual finest means poured into the conduct of various shares, hoptenings and performances. What is the feature of modern art in the 21st century? We will talk about this in the article.

Three-dimensional graphics in the art of the XXI century

It is famous for the art of the 21st century in 3D graphics. With the development of computer technology, artists gained access to new means of creating their art. The essence of three-dimensional graphics is to create images using modeling objects in three-dimensional space. If you consider most of the forms of contemporary art in the 21st century, the creation of three-dimensional images will be the most traditional. 3D graphics has many sides, in the literal sense of the word. It is used when creating programs, games, images and video on the computer. But it can also be noticed right under the feet - on the asphalt.

Three-dimensional graphic moved to the streets of several decades ago and from that time remains one of the most important forms of street art. Many artists paint on their "paintings" volumetric images capable of hit by their realism. Edgar Muller, Eduardo Rolero, Kurt Wenner and many other modern artists today create art capable of surprising anyone.

Street art 21 centuries

Previously, the exercise of the lot of wealthy people. It was covered by the walls of special institutions, which was closed access to the uninitiated. It is obvious that his grand power could not even languish inside the wicked buildings. It was then that it got out - on gray gloomy streets. It was chosen to change your story forever. Although at first everything was not so simple.

His birth was glad not all. Many considered his consequence of unsuccessful experience. Some have refused to pay attention to its existence. Meanwhile, the brainchild continued to grow and develop.

Street artists waited for difficulties in their path. With all its diversity of forms, street art sometimes it was difficult to distinguish from vandalism.

It all started in the 70s of the last century in New York. At this time, street art was in the infancy. And supported his life Julio 204 and Taki 183. They left inscriptions in different places of their area, after expanding the territory of distribution. Other guys decided to compete with them. This is where the most interesting thing began. Zador and the desire to show yourself resulted in the battle of creativity. Everyone sought to discover for himself and other more original way to leave his mark.

In 1981, street art turned out to overcome the ocean. This helped a street artist from France Bleklerat. It is considered one of the first artists of Graffiti in Paris. It is also called the father of stencil graffiti. Its branded stroke are drawings of rats, which refers to the name of their creator. The author noticed that after rearranging letters in the word Rat (rat), Art (art) is obtained. Blek once noted: "The rat is the only free animal in Paris, which extends everywhere, just like street art."

The most famous street artist is a banxi who calls Bleklerat his chief teacher. The topical works of this talented British are able to silence each. In their drawings created using stencils, he denounces modern society with its vices. Banksi peculiar to traditional allowing you to leave an even greater impression on the audience. Interesting is the fact that still the personality of Banksy is shut-off secret. No one has yet managed to reveal the puzzle of the artist's personality.

In the meantime, the art of streets is rapidly gaining momentum. Once renounced marginal trends, Street-art ascended to the stage of auctions. The works of artists are sold for the fabulous amounts of those who once refused to speak. What is this, the lifeful force of art or the trends of mainstream?

Forms

To date, there are several fairly interesting manifestations of contemporary art. Overview of the most unusual forms of contemporary art will be represented by your attention further.

Redi-Maid

The term Redi-Maid comes from English, which means "ready." In fact, the purpose of this area is not the creation of something material. The main idea here is that, depending on the environment of a subject, the perception of man and the item itself is changing. The ancestor of the flow is Marseille Dushan. The most famous work is "Fountain", which is an urinal with an autograph and date.

Anamorphosis

Anamorphosis is called image creation techniques in such a way that it is possible to completely see them possible only at a certain angle. One of the bright representatives of this flow is French Bernard Pras. It creates installations using what falls at hand. Thanks to his skill, he managed to create amazing works, to see which, however, is possible only at a certain angle.

Biological fluids in art

One of the most controversial currents in the modern art of the 21st century is a drawing written by human fluids. Often, followers of this form of contemporary art use blood and urine. The color of the patterns in this case often acquires a gloomy, frightening look. Hermann, for example, uses the blood of animals and urine. The author explains the use of such unexpected materials difficult childhood, which came during World War II.

Painting XX-XXI century

A brief history of painting contains information that the end of the XX century has become a starting point for many cult artists of modernity. In the difficult post-war years, the sphere survived its rebirth. Artists sought to discover new faces of their capabilities.

Suprematism

The creator of Suprematism is considered Casimir Malevich. Being the main theorist, he proclaimed the Suprematism in the way of cleansing art from all extra. Refusing the usual ways to transfer the image, the artists sought to free art from an extraordinary one. The most important work in this genre is the famous "Black Square" Malevich.

Pop Art

Pop Art takes its origins in the USA. In the post-war years, the Company survived global changes. People now could afford more. Consumption has become the most important part of life. People began to erect to the cult, and consumption products - in symbols. Jasper Jones, Andy Warholl and other followers of the flow sought to use these symbols in their paintings.

Futurism

Futurism was opened in 1910. The main idea of \u200b\u200bthis flow was the desire for a new one, the destruction of the framework of the past. This desire artists depicted with special equipment. Sharp strokes, influx, connections and intersections - signs of futurism. The most famous representatives of Futurism are Marinetti, Severini, Carr.

Contemporary art in Russia XXI century

Modern art in Russia (21st century) smoothly flowed from the underground, "unofficial" art of the USSR. Young artists of the 90s were looking for new ways to implement their artistic ambitions in a new country. At that time, Moscow Accommodation was born. His followers challenged the past and his ideology. The destruction of boundaries (in the literal and figurative sense of the word) made it possible to portray the attitude of the younger generation to the situation in the country. The modern art of the 21st century became an expressive, frightening shocking. So, from which society closed so long. Shares Anatoly Osmolovsky ("Mayakovsky - Osmolovsky", "against all", "Barricade on Big Nikitskaya"), the movement "these" ("these-text"), Oleg Kulik ("Piglet gives gifts", "Musty dog \u200b\u200bor last taboo The lonely Cerberian guarded "), Avdius Ter-Hovhana (Pop Art) forever changed the history of contemporary art.

New generation

Glory PTRK is a modern artist from Yekaterinburg. Someone his work can remind the creativity of Banksy. However, the works of glory carry ideas and feelings familiar to the Russian citizen only. One of the most notable works is the campaign "Country of Opportunities". The artist created an inscription from crutches on the building of an abandoned Hospital of Yekaterinburg. The crutches of Glory missed the residents of the city, who once enjoyed them. About the promotion, the artist reported on the social network page, adding the appeal to fellow citizens.

Museums of modern art

Perhaps once the modern art of the 21st century seemed to be a marginal medium, but today more and more people seek to join the new field of art. More museums open their doors for new means of expression. New York is a record holder in the field of modern art. Here are two museums that are one of the best in the world.

The first - MOMA, which is the storage of Matisseous, Dali, Warhol. The second - the museum an unusual architecture of the building is adjacent to the creations of Picasso, Mark Stegal, Kandinsky and many others.

Europe is also famous for its magnificent museums of modern art of the 21st century. The Kiasma Museum in Helsinki allows you to touch the exhibition items. The center in the capital of France is striking by the unusual architecture and works of artists of modernity. Stretchumuseum in Amsterdam stores in its walls the largest collection of Malevich paintings. In the capital of Great Britain has a huge number of art objects of modernity. The Vienna Museum of Contemporary Art has the works of Andy Warholl and other talented creators of modernity.

Contemporary Art of the 21st century (painting) - mysterious, incomprehensible, fascinating, forever changed the vector of development not only a separate sphere, but also of human life. It reflects and creates modernity at the same time. Constantly changing, the art of modernity allows for a moment to stop a constantly hurrying person.

"Using filters, such as glass, vinyl, water and steam, I distort the human body. These filters make it possible to create large areas of abstract design, with eyelash-colored islands through them - parts of the human body.

My paintings are changing a modern look at the already established, traditional poses and gestures of swimming women. They could tell a lot to the attentive viewer about such, it would seem, of course, as well as the use of swimming, dancing, and so on. My characters are pressed against the glass window of the shower cabin, distorting his own body, realizing that there are thereby affect the notorious male look at the naked woman. Thick layers of paint are mixed so that from afar to imitate glass, pair, water and flesh. However, the amazing physical properties of oil paint are becoming obvious. Experimenting with layers of paint and color, I find the moment when abstract strokes are becoming something else.

When I just started drawing a human body, I was immediately fascinated and even became obsessed and thought that I had to make my paintings as realistic as possible. I "confessed" realism until he began to unravel and open contradictions in herself. Now I am investigating the possibilities and potential of the letter manner, where there are representative painting and abstraction - if both styles can coexist in the same time, I will do it. "

This duet, alas, existed until 2003, but had a huge success. Two Russian artists became known, thanks to creating such a movement as social art, which is a branch of unofficial art. It was a kind of response to creating pop art in the West. The canvas with the works of these artists are in the largest museums, including in the Louvre.

Here is a selection of paintings for still little known, but very talented artists. All the guys from Russia and our contemporaries. See, read and enjoy.

Guys, I write all the time here about rather well-known and personalities. I, of course, would be much more interesting to write about those artists, about whom it is not yet known to anyone, but what to do - it is in public vkontakte you can write about anything, and the blog can only write what people are looking for in Yandex and Google, Otherwise, in addition to you, no one will go there. But for a variety and pleasure I, nevertheless, decided to make a selection of "little-known modern artists of Russia and their paintings."

  • What else interesting? (references to other articles).
  • Marchuk's paintings - one of the most famous modern Ukrainian artists
  • The legendary dean of the faculty of graphics famous "Repeinki".

Someone from these guys is still at the very beginning of its path, and someone has already taken place relatively and successfully sells their works in VKontakte or on marketers on the type of fairs of masters and are even known in the narrow circles, but everyone is united by one - they are still Not known to wide masses. But unknown - does not mean deprived of talent, so I think you will be interested to look. I decided to turn on here not only the actual draftsmen, but also several sculptors.

Little-known modern artists of Russia and their paintings. Illustrators and painters.

Little-known artists. Color surreal modern in the paintings of Maria Susarenko.

I learned about this artist not so long ago and almost immediately fell in love with her paintings. Partly because she is very close to me in spirit, as an artist, partly due to admiration for the technique and the violence of fantasy. Maria Susarenko - a cute girl from St. Petersburg and a graduate of the famous SPbGHP them. A.L. Stiglitz. The pictures of Mary Susarenko are a bright mix of modern and surrealism. It looks very bright and decorative.

Little-known modern artists in Russia. Sculptors.

Let it be not pictures here, but decorations, but they are so prestivable and love that I could not resist. In the end, the sculptor is also an artist. Yes, the artist can be a painter, a schedule, an illustrator or sculptor (your captain is obvious). There are two girls, whose decorations would not be posted by the Rena Lalik himself.

Little-known artists. Grimoire black chicken.

In the workshop "Grimoire La Poule Noire", which translated "Grimoire of the Black Chicken" (your captain is obvious), holds Lera Prokopets. Lera is a sculptor miniature and just a gorgeous lady. It works primarily with polymer clay and stones. Lera creates stunning decorations in the style that I would call the Gothic "Art Nouveau." Such a slightly witchcraft, dark, but elegant beauty. Well, it would still, because this is the "grimar of the black chicken".
