Although the work of Antanas Žmuidzinavičius (1876–1966) “Dzūkų village” (1910) remained in the first position, it is followed by three works by the Lithuanian artist Petras Kalpokas (1880–1945), who recently was highly valued and sought after by many lovers of art, according to the report.
“It was unexpected to see a large enough group of Vilnius auction participants during this special period, but the great interest and results from the people show that the auction is a living phenomenon, the atmosphere of which is difficult to digitize and move into space virtual”. This auction also surprised with extremely long and persistent contests that changed the value and destiny of many works of art. Was it due to economic and investment incentives? I think this time all this was put aside somewhere: the big screws were caused by the artwork itself, special art nuggets that are quite rare, ”says auction boss Vilnius dr. Simona Skaisgirytė-Makselienė.
The intrigue of the night was fueled by the works of Lithuanian artist P. Kalpokas, whose prices increased with incredible acceleration, and the competition lasted so long that it surpassed the most daring estimation limits.
Even before the LXII Vilnius auction, it was believed that the greatest interest would be in the very early and rare work of artist P. Kalpokas “Autumn Landscape” (1904), who is believed to have been created when the artist visited his patron, Baron Gustaf von Mantoifel. Manteuffel, 1832–1916) at the Kazdanga Palace in Latvia.
Initial – 25 thousand. The evaluated price work not only confirmed these forecasts, but also adjusted the history of the most expensive works sold at the Vilnius auction. After the price rose almost 1.8 times to 44.75 thousand. P. Kalpokas’ “Autumn Landscape” removed the painting of “League” (1931) from Antanas Samuolis (1931) in the general list of the most expensive works and currently ranks second after “Dzūkų People” in A.Žmuidzinavičius, which was bought at auction seven years ago. for more than 53.5 thousand. euros
However, the competition for P. Kalpokas’ other work “Winter Landscape with a Stream” (1935) was much more surprising. The initial price of this work is 3.8 thousand. EUR – more than 10 times – up to 39 thousand. euros This is the amount from last year that the “League” of A. Samuolis was estimated. The two works will now share 3-4 positions on the list of best-selling works. And the fifth position will be taken by another work of P. Kalpokas “Upelis pavasarį” (1907) – 36.5 thousand five years ago. and the third best-selling work of art in history.
Judging by the results of the LXII Vilnius auction, after two works by P. Kalpokas, the third most expensive work sold in this auction is in the section “In focus: Popartas y Opartas “presented the work” Review of the Arctic “by the artist Kęstutis Zapkus (2009). It was purchased for the initial price: 5.9 thousand euros. It is followed by the artist Raimundas Sližis (1952–2008)” Self-portrait “(1989), whose initial price increased approximately 1.7 times to 4.1 thousand and the painting “Blooming Garden” (1947) by the artist Viktoras Vizgirda (1904-1993), whose initial price increased almost 1.9 times to 3.4 thousand. euros
Quite persistent competitions were also held for the works of the artist A.Žmuidzinavičius: the initial price of the painting “The view from the balcony” (1954) increased 3 times to 3.3 thousand. and the canvas “Vileika | Vilnelė in Vilnius ”(1916) more than doubled, for 3.2 thousand. euros
Dr. According to S. Skaisgirytė-Makselienė, this time the auction participants received less attention “Rubric”In focus: batch production “Dailė” plants “.” Confirmed what I have said many times: the moment of success of these works will be in the future. Knowing them and understanding their true value, really requires at least a few decades away. It is obvious that many art lovers live in the present or for shorter distances and are not prepared for long-term risks, at least for now, “she says.
