'If we had perfect eyesight, we would not be able to tell objects apart. We would see nothing else but pure harmony' (the artist quoted in K.Muratova, ‘Vladimir Veisberg. Dvadtsat’ vyskazyvanii’, 2000). The artist’s stripped-back approach to both color and composition was informed to a degree by European post-war abstraction, which Weisberg would have encountered first-hand at the World Festival of Youth and Students held in Moscow in 1

Sold at the upper estimate price
The work Still Life With Bowl And Shell by Vladimir Weisberg was auctioned at Sothebys in New York in October 2018. The auction ended at the price of USD 25,000.00 (€ 22,061.42), which exactly corresponded to the upper end of the estimated price range of USD 18,000.00 – 25,000.00. Of course, this price has nothing to do with the top prices that other works by Vladimir Weisberg achieve. The highest price we have observed so far was reached by the work Reclining Nude in November 2012 with an auction result of GBP 229,250.00 (€ 282,412.74).
