At the winter auction of the Goldens auction house, one of the key works of Ivan Marchuk from the 1990s - 'Two Parallels' - was sold. The final price of the lot, including taxes and fees, amounted to $100,300. This was reported by 'Gromadskie' citing Marbeks.
The work 'Two Parallels' from the series 'The Voice of My Soul' belongs to the stage when Marchuk focuses on the philosophical and psychological dimensions of painting. In this painting, two worlds are felt, moving alongside each other but not intersecting, creating the impression of a living surface. The canvas from 1992 shows Marchuk's transition to a metaphysical artistic language, where painting becomes a tool for reflection on human duality and the tension between meanings.
Recently, 'Gromadskie' published an investigation into attempts to seize the rights to the images of Ivan Marchuk's paintings. The scandal turned into a loud story, attracting public attention and activating the participants of this case to seek explanations.
