About museum

VLADEY is the first contemporary art auction in Russia. We specialize in works by Russian artists, ranging from Soviet nonconformism to the newest art of today. Holding auctions since 2013, VLADEY has earned recognition among artists, collectors, experts and museum institutions, and has become the undisputed leader on the Russian art market. VLADEY was founded and is headed by Vladimir Ovcharenko, a collector and entrepreneur.

By offering our clients innovative auction formats, we have established ourselves as one of the most dynamic and rapidly developing platforms for buying and selling works of art. Our auctions take place several times a year and include both classic evening auctions featuring museum-level masterpieces and innovative offerings of exciting young art. In 2015 VLADEY introduced a format innovative for the global auction practice — "EVERYTHING FOR 100".

Since its launch VLADEY has conducted more than 80 auctions, organized over 40 exhibitions and presented works by more than 700 authors. All auctions are broadcast live, and our buyers have the opportunity to place bids from anywhere in the world. VLADEY's average lot sell-through rate is 75%, which is a very high result by global standards.

Vladimir Ovcharenko does not hide VLADEY's formula for success: "It's masterpieces, masterpieces and masterpieces—whether an established artist or a young talent, the most important for us is to show the best of their works, find an unexpected angle; we are happy to be conduits for the artists' ideas."
