KUZMA (1878-1939)
LONDON.- On
27th and 30th of May MacDougall’s will offer an exceptional selection of rare
Russian masterpieces, many of which have never before appeared at auction. The
evening sale of Important Russian Art, which will take place on Sunday the
27th, will be led by the museum-quality painting, Still Life. Apples and Eggs,
by Kuzma Petrov-Vodkin, estimated at £2,000,000-3,000,000.
Oil
paintings by Petrov-Vodkin are exceedingly rare to appear on the market and few
works of such significance as Still Life. Apples and Eggs remain in private
hands. The work was previously owned by Abram Chudnovsky, one of the most
important Soviet collectors of early 20th century Russian avant-garde painting.
The work was widely exhibited after Chudnovsky’s death in 1985, and is now
offered at auction for the first time.
