Los 57 | NEIL BUCKLAND COSMIC MICROSCAPE — THE ANGRITE NWA 15317
Schätzwert
$ 3 000 – 6 000
Angrites are among the rarest of all meteorites; only 40 are known to exist. In this partially cross-polarized image the curving arrays of “sawtooth” grains were produced by relatively rapid crystallization from molten magma within its ancient parent body. Crystalline arrays grew until adjacent arrays were encountered. The clear, bright grains are mostly olivine and kirschsteinite, and the purple-brown grains are titanium-rich pyroxene.
A 12-color archival pigment on 100% cotton rag and birchwood panel presented in a modern style — frameless, glassless with a satin acrylic finish and a unique back-beveled profile. The panel is signed and numbered — limited edition 1 of 9 — on the reverse.
Christie's would like to thank Dr. Alan E. Rubin at the Department of Earth, Planetary, and Space Sciences, University of California, Los Angeles for his assistance in preparing this catalogue.
