Russian collectors seems to be increasingly aware of the great market potentiality that is developing around the art of their own country. Mindful of this, they are taking part with important pieces in auctions organized by the big international houses. Exactly like Bonhams, which in London on 9^th June organized a very successful auction proposing Russian works and objects of art. The 241 lots auctioned totalled 5.5 million pounds.

According to Evgenia Teslyuk, head of Russian art sales at Bonhams, this is the best time to sell high-quality works in this sector.
