In London, during the Russian-Ukrainian week, auction house Sotheby’s sold a painting of the famous Russian artist Ilya Chashnik “The Seventh dimension. Suprematist relief.” The work was done in the early 1920-ies. Its cost has reached £2.4 million, although it was originally estimated at £100 thousand to £150 thousand. So, as we see, the final price of the lower estimate exceeded 24 times.
Suprematist reliefs represent a transitional stage between scenes ( largely theoretical) and architectural models – architectural model. Floating elements in Seven dimensions – are the same two-dimensional bars or pure form, moved from his paintings, but now located with the “space between them.
It was the mention of Chashnik’s the seventh dimension, concepts that would be open in physics a few decades later, is best considered as an indication of the extent to which he went beyond the three terrestrial measurements in pure transcendental space
Who knew that ” strips of cheap white paper, carefully glued to cardboard,” as the famous art critic Alexander Romm said, will have this value in the twenty-first century.
It should be noted that this work was exhibited in such world famous museums and galleries such as : gallery Leonard Hutton in new York, the Montreal Museum of fine arts, the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculptor Garden in Washington, the Jewish Museum of new York, the Museum of fine arts of Berlin.
