About us
Altmans Gallery is an international gallery founded by Egor Altman in 2015.
Altmans Gallery specializes in printed graphic works created by world-famous artists. It is the only gallery in Russia that systematically sells lithographs, engravings, etchings, pochoirs, silkscreen printing, as well as sculptures and ceramics by leading artists of the world art market, included in Artprice-100, such as Chagall, Dali, Schiele, Matisse, Picasso, Murakami, Warhol and others. In addition to them, the Altmans Gallery collection includes original works by outstanding Russian and Soviet artists: Natalia Goncharova, Mikhail Larionov, Igor Vulokh, Yuri Norshteyn, as well as works of Russian contemporary art.
Since its foundation, the Altmans Gallery team has organized and held more than 30 exhibitions, which have been visited by tens of thousands of art lovers. The gallery has participated in joint projects with major museums, private foundations and theaters, including MMoMA, the Jewish Museum and Tolerance Center, Ruarts, the Moscow Government Department of Culture, Helikon Opera, the Russian Academy of Arts and others. Works acquired by Altmans Gallery are now in private collections around the world: in Russia, the USA, Israel, Germany, France, China and other countries.
Altmans Gallery cooperates with leading Russian auction houses and art platforms, and is a regular participant in the largest art fairs in Russia (Cosmoscow, Art Russia, the Moscow Antique Salon). It has received numerous awards, including the Moscow Government Prize in Culture and Art.
Concept
The commercial success and professional recognition of Altmans Gallery is based on a simple idea: to sell originals by the world's leading artists at affordable prices.
Edition graphics are ideally suited to this concept. Lithography, etching, engraving — on the one hand, always an original author's work. On the other hand, such works do not exist in a single copy, but are released in a limited, strictly observed edition. As a result, each copy of a lithograph, say, by Picasso, costs incomparably less than his painting. But this is the same real Picasso.
The Altmans Gallery collection contains many museum-quality lithographs — similar works are stored in the largest museums in the world, in particular, in the Pushkin Museum, the Hermitage, the Georges Pompidou Center, MMOMA, the Prado Museum. It is also important that it is almost impossible for a resident of Russia to buy a painting by Picasso (or any other artist from the top 100), but a lithograph — please. (More details on the advantages of edition graphics — here).
Edition graphics are in trend. In particular, in 2023, its sales at Christie's, Sotheby's and Phillips increased by 18% — against the backdrop of a decline in other segments of the art market. The growing popularity of lithographs and etchings is facilitated by the entry of a younger generation of collectors into the market, who prefer less expensive art. Also, printed graphics are increasingly being purchased not only for personal collections, but also as an original valuable gift to friends and business partners (read more about this here).
When purchasing works from Altmans Gallery, you can be sure of their authenticity and transparent provenance. All of them were acquired for the gallery's portfolio at major international auctions and in leading galleries with an impeccable reputation.
