VIJA CELMINS (B. 1938)
Reverse Galaxy
etching and drypoint, on Hahnemühle Copperplate paper, 2010, signed in pencil, numbered 1⁄30 (there were also ten artist's proofs), co-published by the artist and Simmelink/Sukimoto Editions, Olympia, Washington, with full margins, in very good condition, framed
Image: 11 3⁄4 x 8 1⁄4 (299 x 210 mm.)
Sheet: 16 3⁄8 x 11 3⁄4 in. (429 x 299 mm.)

Upper estimate price exceeded by 26 %.

The work Reverse Galaxy by Vija Celmins was auctioned at Christies in New York in March last year. It achieved a price of USD 8,820.00 (€ 7,950.96), exceeding the upper end of the estimate range by 26%. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Vija Celmins achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Untitled (Ocean) in June 2021 with an auction result of USD 7,748,000.00 (€ 6,539,500.34).

Oberer Schätzpreis um 26 % übertroffen

Die Arbeit Reverse Galaxy von Vija Celmins kam im März letzten Jahres bei Christies in New York zur Auktion. Sie erzielte dabei einen Preis von USD 8.820,00 (€ 7.950,96) und übertraf damit das obere Ende der Schätzpreisspanne um 26%. Dieser Preis hat freilich nichts mit den Spitzenpreisen zu tun, die andere Arbeiten von Vija Celmins erzielen. Den höchsten von uns bisher beobachteten Preis erreichte die Arbeit Untitled (Ocean) im Juni 2021 mit einem Auktionsergebnis von USD 7.748.000,00 (€ 6.539.500,34).
