Don Foundation auctions and catalogue
Don Foundation is an auction house and gallery. It holds its own online auctions on this site and keeps a catalogue of works of art with prices – currently 623 works. It covers painting, graphics, sculpture, prints and decorative art, chiefly Soviet porcelain figurines. The factories represented include LFZ, Polonne and Dulevo. The artist with the most works in the collection is Mikhail Shemyakin: 66 works. The collection spans Russian and international artists from the 19th century to today, each with a page in the “Artists” section. Paintings by artists of the Russian, Soviet and post-Soviet schools are gathered in the Russian painting selection.
Each work’s page gives the artist, technique and size where known, and the price where it is published. A priced work can be added to the cart and requested; for the others, ask for the price. How to choose an original painting and how buying works is explained on the page “How to buy an original painting”. How to choose a work of art for a collection, an interior or a gift is explained on the page “Buy a work of art”.
At the online auctions, bids are placed right on the site: a participant applies and, once approved, joins the bidding. A separate page explains how an art auction works and how the price is formed. Upcoming sales and past results are in the “Auctions” section; the steps are on the page “How to take part in an auction”.
