Buy a Painting – Original Fine Art in the Don Foundation Collection
«Buy a painting» is really a choice: a decorative copy, or an original with a history. The Don Foundation collection holds original paintings – each with a known artist, year, technique and size, often with provenance and an expert assessment. Below is how the collection is arranged and how to acquire a work.
The search «buy a painting» usually leads to shops selling decorative canvases and reproductions. The Don Foundation offers something different – originals from its collection: every work has a known artist, year, technique and size, and often provenance and an expert assessment. The painting section currently holds 126 works: from 8 000 to 1 200 000 ₽; from 4 000 to 70 000 $ (some works are priced in US dollars).
The collection brings together Russian and Soviet classics (landscape, still life and portrait from the late 19th – mid 20th century), Nonconformism (Mikhail Shemyakin, Ernst Neizvestny, Vladimir Nemukhin, Boris Sveshnikov) and contemporary artists (Alexander Chursin, Oleg Ustinov, Konstantin Batynkov). In total it spans 122 artists.
The collection spans painting, graphic art, sculpture and limited-edition prints, among them sheets by Pablo Picasso and Marc Chagall; the foreign names also include Salvador Dali. Each work lists its technique and size, so you can find the painting you want in the catalogue by those details and study it as carefully as in the gallery hall.
Works can be acquired at online auctions on the BidSpirit platform; some lots have a listed price. The auction house is located in Rostov-on-Don, 16th Liniya, 7A. We accompany the transaction and arrange delivery across Russia and abroad.
