Early Life
Viveca Paulin was born in Askim, Sweden, on 24th April 1969. Even as a child, she gained an interest in art and culture, which would shape a large part of her career. She immigrated to the United States to attend college, having enrolled at Pomona College in Claremont, California, in 1991, where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Art History in 1991.
The education provided her with an entryway into the world of art and further, she studied auctioneering in some of the largest houses and became knowledgeable in fine art, prints, and modern pieces. This initial grounding, which was based not only on an academic but also a practical apprenticeship in auction houses, contributed to her two-sided career as both an auction market-sensitive art expert and an intellectual artistic practitioner.
Viveca Paulin Career
Vivec Paulin was an auctioneer at Butterfield and Butterfield, a reputable auction house, after college, and later joined Los Angeles Modern Auctions as a regular auction specialist. Her knowledge of art and her ability to judge value have turned out to be the envy of the fine-art world.
Simultaneously with her auction career, Paulin was an actor. She also starred in the 1997 action-comedy Money Talks as an auctioneer—a combination of her real-life experience and her onscreen role. In 1998, she starred in the movie Night at the Roxbury (1998) in the role of the Porsche Girl, where she co-starred with her future husband, Will Ferrell. Later in the same year, she appeared as a guest on the television series Martial Law.
Viveca Paulin also produced the film Nail Polish, a coming-of-age drama, in 2006. She appeared in 2015 as an auctioneer in the TV series Younger as a guest star and provided a voice-over in the popular animated film Ralph Breaks the Internet (2018), playing an auctioneer once again.
In addition to acting, she has continued to be active in the art world, not merely as an auctioneer but also as an art collector. She and Ferrell possess works by such great artists as Ed Ruscha, Richard Diebenkorn, John Baldessari, and others.
Her stance in the art scene is enhanced by her curatorial instinct as well as by her capacity to negotiate between commercial savvy and a profound sense of artistic integrity. Art, performance, and production, therefore, are the career foundations that unite the intellectual, creative, and entrepreneurial interests of Paulin.
