The Auction House of the Russian Federation announced an auction for the sale of the sculpture of Alyonka, the appearance of which caused a "great resonance" in the society.
Interfax said it was selling “a unique piece of spatial art made of metal. Release date - September 28, 2020 . The message says that the starting price of the lot is 1 million rubles.
Bidding is scheduled for February 15 and will be held as an open auction with an increase of 50 thousand rubles. The required deposit is 100 thousand. Application for participation can be submitted until February 11.
Recall that the monument, which caused a great public outcry, appeared in the Voronezh region in the city of Novovoronezh on December 18 The reason for the opening of this monument was the 250th anniversary of the village of Novaya Alenovka. In this area, there is a legend about the girl Alyonka, who came to the Don, found there a very beautiful place by the stream and called her fellow tribesmen there, who founded a village there.
Everything would be fine, but the public shocked Alyonka's appearance: an overly intent gaze, a frightening face and a lack of normal body proportions. 3 months after installation, the art object was dismantled at the request of local residents. The administration assured the public that the monument was erected not at all from the budget, but at the expense of one of the public organizations. After dismantling, the administration has already received several dozen applications from those wishing to purchase the object.
Local residents asked to remove the monument. Three days later, the local administration dismantled the art object. The administration assured that no budget funds were spent on its creation: the monument was erected at the expense of a public organization. At the same time, the administration received several dozen applications for the desire to purchase an art object.
Recently, a sole proprietor from Voronezh, Vladimir Pilipenko, who is the owner of the monument, said that the funds received from its sale would be spent on charity. Perhaps some of them will be directed to the construction of a playground.
