From the Captain's Log

I actually picked this up in Hong Kong. It's quite large, you know, 36 inches by 48 inches, with a nice frame. The funny thing is, the paint was still wet when I got it. When I rolled it up, it almost stuck together, but I was able to pull it back apart.

It's kind of weird and creepy, but very interesting. The colors are incredible, those reds and stuff like that.

Name the most you'd pay. We bid for you, just enough to stay in front, like eBay. Nobody sees your max, not even Captain Nemo.

How the bidding works (the short version of the Articles)
  • The first bid starts a 7-day clock. When it hits zero, the top bidder wins.
  • Enter your max. The price only climbs as far as needed to keep you in front, so you may win for less.
  • Each bid has to beat the price by a small step. Ties go to whoever bid first.
  • Some pieces carry a reserve, a minimum price kept secret. If bidding ends below it, the piece doesn't sell. The box tells you if it's met.
  • A bid in the last 5 minutes resets the clock to 5 minutes. No sniping.
  • Win, and we email a pay link. You have 3 days to pay. Pickup is at the South Loop dock.
  • A bid is a promise to buy. Please bid only if you mean it.

Close-ups show the faces and the texture.
