Summary/Abstract: The article investigates the self-presentations of the artists on the vernisage art market as a mechanism of control over the artistic reputations. The author examines the artists’ strategies for designing and monitoring of their own identity in the eyes of customers in order to persuade them to purchase their works. The analysis of oral autobiographical texts suggests that artists appeal to the authority of official cultural institutions and professional expert communities for confirmation of their status. At the same time the choice of purchasers remains for them the main criterion of success on the mass art market.
