From the Captain's Log

I picked up this piece from Charlie Burns, a local artist who's been making waves with his urban-inspired abstracts. It's a maze-like composition with white rectangles crisscrossing over maroon, blue, and black. It's got that city feel, like the streets of Chicago mapped out in paint. Honestly, I'm only selling because I'm out of wall space. Plus, it's always nice to share a bit of local talent with the world.

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.

The piece captures an urban essence, reminiscent of city streets and the intricate pathways one might find in a bustling metropolis. It’s acrylic on canvas and unframed, giving it a raw, unfiltered presence.
