Within the sound of arpa guests could experience the masterpieces of world graphics and sculpture.

In the gallery guests could also see Dali’s Signs of the Zodiac, legendary Warhol’s Lovely Day, Shagal’s iconographic scenes and Matisse’s Dance.
Despite ever-growing demand the Altmans Gallery is the only commercial gallery in Moscow specializing in mass-market arts of the first names. The gallery presents the original works of famous artists out of ordinary for Russian market price range from 1 000 to 40 000 USD.
The gallery founders are sure of commercial success of this project because mass-market graphics is the most promising segment of international art market which, according to some ratings, covers more than 21% of western auctions. Due to world statistics, 51% of works sold at international auction presents the segment of under 1000 USD. Growing market of mass-production art is characterized by sound liquidity and turnover of works, and availability of mass-market arts guarantees it increasing popularity.
“Attractiveness of mass-market art cannot be overestimated. Today mass-market graphics is the most liquid and fast-growing segment of international art market. It took less than 100 years for world auctions’ sales to double their growth and reach about 224 mln USD. And the interest keeps deepening”, – said the founder of the Altmans Gallery Egor Altman.
