About the work

A dense mesh of hand painted lines characterises Murphy’s Blanket paintings. These begin to conjure three-dimensional folds, seams, and furrows, emphasising a soft, seductive and tactile quality. The paintings are built up over consecutive days of work, from as many as eighty layers of painted lines. For this body of work, the artist uses casein, a fast-drying, traditional milk-based paint, to which natural pigments can be added. It is water-soluble, light-fast and opaque, perfectly suited to Murphy’s intuitive way of working.

Auction close and bidder extension

The auction closes at 9pm (BST) Monday 3rd July, however, if a bid is placed in the last two minutes, the auction end time will extend on that lot for an additional two minutes, or until all bidding has ceased. This is called Popcorn Bidding or Bidder Extension and gives all bidders an equal chance of winning.

Maximum bids

You are more likely to be the winning bidder if at the outset you place a maximum bid i.e. the maximum amount you are willing to pay for the work. Your maximum bid is not visible to other bidders. If another bidder exceeds your maximum bid you will receive an automatic notification. If you have placed a maximum bid the auction site will automatically place bids on your behalf, but only as much is necessary to make sure that you remain the highest bidder, until it reaches your maximum bid. These automatic bids are placed in increments, as shown above.
