For the collector who has acquired everything but the unrepeatable. The summit of the canon, worn by a so-called genius on the day her field rearranged itself around an idea of hers — the sort of object that does not depreciate so much as accede to legend. We make no apology for the tier: some minds are simply Nobel adjacent, and the market, gloriously, agrees.
Caspar David Friedrich, Wanderer above the Sea of Fog (1818)
Friedrich set a single figure above the cloud and called it the sublime; this is the cohort’s wanderer, and its highest vantage.
