RAG Contemporary is delighted to debut ‘Scull Series’ by RS Biggs December 04 - 08 in Miami.

The Scull Series investigates the 1973 Scull Auction at Sotheby’s Parke-Bernet—a watershed moment widely remembered as “the day the art world died.” The auction marked a shift in the art market’s dynamics, where for the first time, the spectacle of acquisition eclipsed the primacy of artistic creation itself. The evening’s unprecedented atmosphere of applause and cheering for escalating prices became a template for future auctions, inaugurating an era where monetary value began to overshadow intrinsic artistic worth.

The works’ debut during art week presents a layered irony and intentional wink at the annual pageant of excess that the fair has become, as well as a nod to the work’s own eventual fate as market objects themeselves.
