Specialised Approach


 
MacDougall Auctions is the only fine art auction house to specialise solely in Russian Art. Our June 2008 sale raised over $24 million, the second largest sale of "Russian Week", and our November 2007 sale raised $22 million. MacDougalls is consistently one of the top three auction houses in the world for Russian art.

In addition, we are the leading auction house for Russian post war and contemporary art; our November 2007 sale was the largest ever in the world for this sector of the market, at $7.8m; in the twelve months to June 08, MacDougalls was the largest auction house in the world for this sector.

We offer paintings and works of art from the 18th century to the present, and have handled a range of important private collections, including the $2m Kosloff estate sale which set a world record price for a Korovin portrait of $750,000.

The concentrated approach to the Russian Art market is based on our professional team of Russian Art experts, unrivalled by any other auction house. Our experts' backgrounds include: The Tretyakov Gallery, The Grabar Institute, Christie's and Sotheby's. The narrow specialisation of each expert means our clients get the most comprehensive service and advice available.
