Robinhood Auctions Presents Artworks by Marc Chagall, Salvador Dali, Victor Vasarely, and More

Over 1,000 lots of posters, prints, multiples, and other fine artworks will soon come to auction with Robinhood Auctions in the Contemporary Horizons sale. Scheduled for December 19, 2024, the sale includes work by legendary artists, including Pablo Picasso, Salvador Dalí, and Mr. Brainwash, as well as visionary masters like Marc Chagall, Peter Max, and Patricia Govezensky. 

Leading this auction is Marc Chagall’s Dan, a limited edition framed serigraph on paper work (lot #359; estimate: USD 1,776 – $2,220). Chagall derived inspiration from Jewish life, biblical stories, and Russian folklore. Chagall designed this image in 1964 following his work on the Jerusalem synagogue’s stained glass windows. Dark blue dominates this composition centered around a three-branched candelabrum. A diffused yellow area is created by its flaming lights in between red animals, balanced by the green space beneath. There is a horned viper entwined around the candelabrum, striking suddenly, frightening horses. Among the candelabrum’s branches stands a vermilion lion cub. In his right hand, symbolizing justice, he carries the sword of war that acts as a scale beam.

Another notable work in the catalog is an original color woodcut of Salvador Dalí’s Paradise 14. (lot #72; estimate: $1,485 – $1,856.25). An important figure in the early 20th-century Surrealist movement, Dali pushed the boundaries of creativity and challenged accepted ideas. His work is characterized by a sense of mystifying symbolism and meticulous detail. Paradise 14 depicts the Apparition of Christ, part of a series of 100 engravings depicting Dante Alighieri’s Divine Comedy. It was published by Les Heures Claires, Paris.

Beyond fine art, this sale will feature a three-dimensional wall sculpture of Victor Vasarely’s Cinetiques from circa 1973 (lot #122; estimate: $780 – $975). A sculptor and painter recognized as the father of Op Art, Victor Vasarely’s contemporary works are often characterized by geometric shapes and bright colors that create a sense of depth. From the portfolio Vasarely Cinetiques, the offered piece was published by Edition Du Griffon Neuchatel and printed in Switzerland. Also available is a 1975 heliogravure print from Vasarely with a signed letter of authenticity from the artist (lot #75; estimate: $264 – $330).

• Nachum Gutman’s Small Carriage, an original lithograph, numbered and signed by the artist (lot #5; estimate: $180 – $225)
• Andy Warhol’s Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom 335 from Sunday B Morning, a silkscreen on museum board, accompanied by a certificate of authenticity (lot #9; estimate: $2,400 – $3,000)
