Russian art collectors these days naturally gravitate to London to discover the most impressive examples of this genre due to the fact that the city has become probably the most essential area for auctions. Expatriate Russians living in London and other locations and those still residing in the motherland come to these types of auctions.
The 2009 Fair was designated by London’s Russian community as a premier happening on their own calendar. A highlight event of this Artwork Fair was the Charity Gala Evening organised by The Children’s Fire and Burns Trust, which was patronized by highly ranked Russians such as Their Highnesses Prince and Princess Dimitri Lobanov Rostovsky, celebs and many other VIPs. Approximately 14,000 was made just on behalf of this deserving charity through this special evening, with the respective Ritz Club VIP dinner.
