From the Captain's Log

A piece by Charlie Burns featuring some illustrations that were cut out, and then the design was wrapped around that. It's dogs. It's a famous artist, a German artist, with all these dogs and an audience, and the RCA gramophone sort of dog symbolism in there. It's a unique piece, about 24 inches by almost 48. So it's a big piece by Charlie Burns.

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.

Description

A large mixed media artwork by Charlie Burns featuring a brass gramophone and a crowd of attentive dogs. The illustrations are cut out and set into green panels painted with white and black lines, creating a wrapped-around design. The dogs, symbolic of the RCA logo, form an audience around the gramophone.

The piece is approximately 24 by 48 inches, making it a substantial work. Unframed, it presents the scene on a canvas board. The closest most of us will get to the yacht club.
