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 procession of monks in saffron and flame-orange robes walks left to right beneath three big red umbrellas. Behind them rises a grey temple with lotus-bud towers, much like Angkor Wat, under an orange sky that drips down the canvas, with a dark moon and a green tree in the corners.

Across the right half the scene gives way to heavy painted rings in red and black, as if the umbrellas rolled off and kept going. Canvas weave shows through the thinner passages.
