Original and authorial graphics in the Don Foundation collection: drawing, watercolour, ink, pencil and mixed media. Sheets by Russian and international masters, with technique, size and provenance stated.
Graphic art is work built on drawing, line and tone rather than a paint layer. It is made on paper and board – pencil, ink, pen, watercolour, gouache, pastel, charcoal, mixed media. The collection holds 12 works, priced from 40 000 to 360 000 ₽.
It matters to distinguish original from editioned graphics. An original sheet is unique – a drawing by the artist’s hand. Editioned graphics (prints, lithographs) are printed from an artist’s matrix in a limited run and sit in a separate section. This section is original graphics.
Paper is fragile and sensitive to light and damp, so condition affects price more than in painting. Each description states technique, size, support and condition.
