Italian's pledge to promote photographer pays off

Article Abstract:

Varvara Lavrentiev, daughter of Russian Alexander Rodchenko (1891-1956) gave some of his photographs to Caio Garrubba, an Italian photographer, in 1965 to make him better known in the west. Rodchenko was a suppressed avant-garde artist, designer and photographer. Some of these photographs were sold in Oct 1992 at a Christie's sale for 892,320 pounds sterling, but Mrs Lavrentiev had intended to lend the photos for exhibition and publication. There is no documentation to prove the transaction.

The European Fine Art Fair currently being held in Maastricht, Netherlands, has attracted many wealthy buyers. The fair has become the most significant of year for art dealers, and in 1995 there are 159 exhibitors, including 114 foreigners. Some of the most expensive works of art in the world are being displayed there, and this will prompt lengthy negotiations before they finally change hands.
