Buy an original painting

An original painting is made by the artist’s own hand – it is not a print on canvas or a reproduction. The Don Foundation collection holds original paintings: each work’s page gives the artist, year, technique and size where known, along with details of any expert assessment. Below is how the collection is arranged and how to acquire a work.

Many shops sell decorative canvases and reproductions; the Don Foundation offers something different – originals from its collection. The painting section currently holds 125 works: from 95 to 70 000 $; price on request for some works.

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 115 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. Technique and size are given on the work cards where known, so you can find the painting you want in the catalogue by those details and study it as carefully as in the gallery hall.

A work with a listed price can be bought straight away through the cart. At present 123 of 125 works have a listed price; the rest are priced on request. Some works are offered at the online auctions the foundation holds on its own site (how to take part). We accompany the transaction and arrange delivery across Russia and abroad.

Of the 125 paintings, the work page gives the medium for 114, the size for 123, the year for 111 and expert assessment details for 8.

How to buy: at the listed price or at auction

If the price is shown on the card, click “Add to cart” (you will need an account), then “Request items” in the cart: we will send the price and payment details to your account, in the “Chat with store” tab. Payment is made via an invoice we issue, by QR code or payment link. Before shipping, the work is packed and insured; we primarily work with CDEK, and delivery is at the buyer’s expense. If there is no price, click “Request price” – we will email it to you, no account needed. More on the Payment and delivery page.

Don Foundation sales are held online on the foundation’s own site. Apply on the online auction page – your name and email are enough. Once your application is approved, you will receive an email with a personal link to the auction room: you can place advance bids, and on the day of the sale bid while the auctioneer takes the lots. The winner gives a delivery address and receives one invoice – the lot price plus delivery; once it is paid, we ship the work. Every step is in the guide “How to take part in an auction”.

While a work is up for online auction, it can only be bought at the auction.

Questions and answers

How is a painting from the foundation different from one in an online store?

It is an original, not a reproduction or a decorative print run. The work’s page gives the artist, year, technique and size where known, along with details of any expert assessment.

Can I buy an oil painting?

The technique is listed in the work's description where known, so you can find oil paintings in the catalogue by that parameter. Dimensions and condition are given there too, where known.

How do I buy a painting – is it an auction?

Not only. A work with a listed price can be bought straight away through the cart. At present 123 of 125 works have a listed price; the rest are priced on request. Some works are offered at the foundation’s online auctions; while a work is up for auction, it can only be bought there. A foundation specialist can advise on the purchase route for a specific work.

Can I buy a painting online with delivery?

Yes. You can choose a work and take part in the auctions online from anywhere, and we arrange delivery across Russia and abroad.

Is there an expert assessment, and is delivery available?

If a work has had an expert assessment, the details are given in its description. We accompany the transaction and arrange delivery across Russia and abroad.
