The Moonhouse — Acquisition
To own a house on the Moon.
The Moonhouse is offered as a single acquisition — a complete work comprising physical objects, archive, and a permanent, unreachable presence on the lunar surface. What is offered here cannot be replicated. The house on the Moon was placed once. It will remain there.

Complete documentation
One aluminum house, identical in dimension and material to those remaining on Earth, now resting permanently on the lunar surface. Placed June 6, 2025. The acquisition includes documented proof of placement — coordinates, photographic evidence, and mission records — along with a certificate of ownership issued by the artist.
One of the original aluminum houses produced for the work — the object that remained when one was chosen to go. Dimensionally and materially indistinguishable from the house now on the Moon. A physical presence of the work that can be held, displayed, and kept.
A house constructed in cardboard, designed to fold flat for transport, carried to the International Space Station by astronaut Christer Fuglesang. It has been beyond Earth orbit. It has returned. It is the only element of this work that made that journey and came back.
The complete record of the work — from earliest drawings to the moment of lunar placement. Technical documentation, correspondence, photographic and video material spanning the full development of the project. Accompanied by an exclusively produced publication.
The Moonhouse is expected to be offered through Christie's or a comparable auction house. Interested parties are invited to make contact in advance of any public offering.
