Sculpture Unbound

Taylor Graham has long championed undervalued artists in the secondary market — and recent results affirm this instinct. Just before Thanksgiving, a single Vasa tower sold for a record $78,740 at a regional California auction. Interestingly, the piece was not in ideal condition, suggesting that eager bidders competed without full expertise, something we caution collectors against.

Vasa Mihich, whose work in acrylic resin began in the 1970s, was one of the most skilled artists working in this medium, aligned with the Light and Space movement. His brilliantly engineered, light-responsive forms feel increasingly contemporary in today’s design-forward interiors. We believe no comparable resin work will be produced again at this level, underscoring the lasting value of his pieces.

This is excellent news for collectors who have already acquired his work — and encouraging for the future trajectory of Mihich’s market.
