Ukrainian artist conquered the world's leading auction

Paintings by contemporary Ukrainian artists can serve as an excellent investment for a connoisseur of painting. A little-known artist can eventually become a celebrity and bring an excellent investment income to the collector who supported him in the early stages of his work. In the summer of 2020, a painting "Fragments II. Italian Diary" by Ivan Turetsky, was sold at Sotheby's. The size of the painting is 150x70 cm, the work was painted in oil in 2019 in Kiev. Sold at Sotheby's for $ 21,250, not including the auction commission. This is a record amount for the work of a Ukrainian artist-debutant at such an auction. But this is not the first case of such a sale, for example, Sotheby's exhibited the works of a painter from the Kiev region Anatoly Krivolap.

The price of a painting by a novice artist at a world auction depends on the size of the canvas and its compositional complexity. The result of the auction shows that the artist is relevant and in demand for the Western audience. A very decent assessment of the level of the artist, and then the prices for his work will only grow. A painting by Ivan Turetsky was sold at a New York auction dedicated to representatives of Cubism, next to such classics as Cezanne and Picasso. We would like to remind you that the best opportunity to start investing in masterpieces of painting is to purchase paintings in the section "Painting and Graphics. Author's sculpture" on Violity. Here you can pick up paintings by aspiring artists - future stars of world auctions.
