Lot Overview:
"Group of Houses" is more than a painting — it is a preserved emotional landscape, rendered with intimacy and warmth. With its international exhibition history and limited nature as a single original, this work represents a compelling opportunity for long-term collectors and fine art investors alike.
This unique piece by Anatoli Gostev, created in 2007, was exhibited during the ART Climate Change exhibition in Basel (2021), where the artist was an honorary guest. The painting draws viewers into the artist’s post-war childhood through gentle, layered textures and nostalgic architectural harmony.
Rarity, historical depth, and growing recognition posthumously make this painting a significant asset with increasing cultural and financial value.
Investment Highlights
This artwork stands as a singular expression of emotional realism and Soviet-era memory, interpreted through watercolor and pastel. Its scarcity — being the only original — combined with increasing demand for Gostev’s works makes this a standout investment.
Experts forecast a strong appreciation in value — with some estimates anticipating over 1000% growth, driven by limited supply, historical context, and rising posthumous recognition. Art collectors seeking both meaning and market movement will find this piece a strategic acquisition.

Impression of the painting.
The painting "Rovinj" was created by Anatoli Gostev in 2019. It is a reminiscence of Croatia and an interpretation of the artist's work since 2012. The painting is divided into three planes. The foreground and background frame the main subject—the exotic trees of Croatia. The composition is arranged "slowly" from left to right, as if climbing a hill. Details in the painting delay this movement, creating a sense of leisure so characteristic of the Balkan region. The muted pastel tones emphasize the sunny, hot vacation season when everything is governed by the main word in the Balkans—Polako. This translates to "slowly and calmly."
It must be beautiful.
It is important to note the main feature of Gostev's painting — he always worked thoughtfully, considering the painting from the perspective of the primary criterion: it must be beautiful. In each of his works, one can feel the energy of the desire to create something beautiful. This energy is undeniably conveyed to the viewer, and the artist's paintings fill the space with the thought of beauty. This is the essence of painting.
Value of the Painting:
The painting is positioned as investment art. It should be understood that the artist Anatoli Gostev (1946–2022) will create no more works, and each of his paintings is unique, defined by a special style that he developed throughout his life dedicated to painting.
A piece of art can be a highly promising investment, also due to being an investment in the emotional and contemplative nature of a masterpiece. Additionally, with a high degree of probability, Anatoli Gostev's paintings will increase in value by more than 1000%.

Impression of the painting.
The watercolor "Old Church" was painted in 2006 in the Czech Republic by Anatoli Gostev Jr. The painting speaks of faith in a country that has lost its religious values. The Czech Republic is known for its numerous ancient castles, as well as its atheistic beliefs. The woman in the painting, with deep faith, searches for a church but finds only old, empty castles or abandoned, closed churches no longer needed. The world of double standards is highlighted by the depiction of two suns.
Symbol of faith.
The woman's symbol of faith is emphasized by the red color of her clothing and the abstract structure behind her, which seems to follow her in search of a place for prayer. A small woman with immense faith in a country of atheism, castles, and abandoned churches.
Value of the Painting:
Watercolor is the most challenging painting technique due to the limited possibilities for corrections. When working with watercolor, the artist must clearly understand the entire concept of the painting in advance, as the application of paint must be precisely calculated on the first attempt. This watercolor is created on high-quality paper by the "Arches" brand. It is one of the most successful and non-trivial watercolors by the heir of the Gostev dynasty, Anatoli Gostev Jr.
Investing in a piece of art that you like is always a winning move. Price growth for the painting: a guaranteed increase in the owner's price by 10% per year.

Artist: Anatoli Gostev (1946–2022).
Title: Still Life à la Freud
Year: 2009
Medium: Watercolor & Pastel on Paper.
Size: Height: 30 cm, Width: 30 cm
Signature: Signed on the front.
COA: Verified via Bitcoin blockchain.
Ownership: Privately owned.
Estimate: USD 50,000 – 150,000
Lot Overview:
A museum-grade original by Anatoli Gostev, “Still Life à la Freud” is a rare opportunity for collectors and investors alike. Executed at the height of his mature style, the work is a striking meditation on inner tension and symbolic structure. This is not just a painting, but a psychological experience rendered through a masterful blend of watercolor and pastel.
The composition features unstable, almost collapsing forms offset by a central phallic symbol — still and grounded. This deliberate tension speaks to themes of desire, imbalance, and the fragility of control — much in the spirit of its psychoanalytical namesake.
Gostev’s work continues to gain international interest, especially among collectors of European postmodernism and psychologically charged visual art.
Investment Perspective
Art as an alternative asset class has outperformed many traditional markets over the past decade. “Still Life à la Freud” offers the unique combination of aesthetic appeal, historical relevance, and verifiable authenticity — a recipe for long-term value growth.
The current owner guarantees an annual appreciation of 10% through 2027, with projected increases between 10–30% annually thereafter. This, combined with the artwork’s rarity, blockchain-certified provenance, and strong exhibition history, positions this piece as a high-potential investment.
