MacDougall Auctions is the only fine art auction house to specialise
exclusively in Russian art. Sales take place twice a year during London's
Russian week, in June and November/December. It was the first international
auction house with a representative in Moscow and is still the only one with
a representative in Kiev.
Despite the overall economic situation of the last few years, the Russian
art market has fully recovered and the latest sales have demonstrated a
strong potential for further growth. In 2010, MacDougall's Russian art sales
generated more than 25 million GBP. Highlights included an early masterpiece
by Ivan Shishkin, sold for more than 1.8 million GBP. MacDougall's continues
to make exciting sales in 2011, such as Boris Kustodiev's Portrait of Irina
Kustodieva, sold for more than 1.8 million GBP.
Since its inaugural auction in 2004, MacDougall's has become one the three
main international auction houses holding specialised Russian art sales. We
regularly handle masterpieces by the most significant and sought-after
Russian artists, including Boris Kustodiev, Ivan Shishkin, Nicholas Roerich,
Ilya Repin and Ivan Aivazovsky, among many others.
In 2009, MacDougall's held its inaugural specialised icon sale, and in June
2010 the icon sale raised over 901,000 GBP, making us the largest icon sale of
the year and confirming our place as the leader in this field.
MacDougall's continues to develop new and exciting areas of the Russian art
market. In June 2010 we held the first specialist Russian Works on Paper
auction, raising over 1.5 million GBP.
Working with leading Russian art experts, MacDougall's offers its clients
the best advice possible. We hold regular exhibitions in Moscow and Kiev,
nurturing close relationships with collectors of Russian art.
