Open bidding

Opening bid

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 13-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.

What's it worth?

Taking a squint at it...

An estimate from the photos and description, not an appraisal and not a reserve. Bid what it is worth to you; the sea sets no prices and neither do we.

Description

A two-panel piece, one shorter than the other, that reads as one long scene. Scattered through it are little islands of old painting, cut from reproductions: gentlemen in ruffs and broad black hats, ladies in satin, a lute player, a stately house in the top corner, a man stooping over a brass basin. Around them the artist has laid on thick, sculpted teal, grey and pink swirls, each one ringed in black like a stained-glass window seen through the deep.

The paint stands proud of the surface (see the close-ups), and a small landscape with a far blue sea peeks out of the black on the right panel. Sold together as a pair, shown side by side.
