LONDON.- Almost 500 lots of Russian Art, including fine paintings, Works of Art and unique pieces of neo-Russian furniture consigned from important European and American private collections, will be included in Christie’s Russian Art sale on 29 November, 2010 which is expected to fetch in the region of £10 million. An important group of four paintings by Petr Konchalovsky (1876-1956), one of the most popular artists in Russia during his lifetime, highlights the picture section of the sale. The group is led by his rare and masterful 1908 work “Versailles. L’Allée.” (estimate: £800,000 – £1,200,000). The work has never been offered for sale before but was exhibited in 2002 at the State Pushkin Museum’s exhibition, Unknown Konchalovsky and subsequently at the seminal exhibition of the artist’s works, first at the State Russian Museum in St.Petersburg
