An art project worth more than $ 500,000 was presented by the Russian CF Art Group at an exhibition in MANEZH (St. Petersburg)

More than $ 500,000 worth of gold is worth a GOLD MASTERPIECE (12 kilo copyright bar), which CF Art Group artists presented in their art project, “Masterpiece and Collector. Ordinary story. "

One of the brightest events of this summer in the cultural life of St. Petersburg undoubtedly was the exhibition “ Geniuses and Masterpieces ", Which was held at the Central Exhibition Hall" Manege "from June 24 to July 10.

To surprise and shock, raise the problem and attract with novelty, challenge anyone who works in the field of contemporary art. All this was managed by St. Petersburg artists from CF Art Group. In one of the central projects of the exhibition, they presented their GOLD MASTERPIECE - An ingot of 12 kilo.

Artists reflect on the state of contemporary art and the gradual evolution of the figure of the Collector, who is turning into an investor in a consumer society. “Today,” said Denis Saunin, “the artistic value of the work is identified with the price for which the work was sold at auction. And the auction price, in turn, is affected by marketing, PR and various tricks that are far from the creative process. Like on an exchange, quotes of artists rise and fall, collections grow in value and depreciate. The symbol of our time is the GOLDEN MASTERPIECE, which has a guaranteed auction price, even without taking into account the genius of the author. ”

Throughout the exhibition, the Artist daily calculated the guaranteed auction price of the GOLD MASTERPIECE based on fluctuations in the international gold rate and posted this information on the stand. Since the beginning of the year, the guaranteed value of the GOLD MASTERPIECE has grown by more than $ 30,000.

During the exhibition, the art group CF received several offers from collectors, but the creators are in no hurry to part with their work. The artists plan to demonstrate their project to the public at other exhibition venues, including during the 4th Moscow Biennale of Contemporary Art in September-October this year.
