About the work

In this series of paintings on paper, Ruscha explores geometric abstraction and interactions of colour to create a psychedelic experience for the viewer. Like some of the pioneers of Op Art, Ruscha is interested in dissecting and dismembering the visual experience. An experimentalist in both fine art and music, Ruscha likens his use of airbrush on these works to playing the ancient Theremin synthesizer, an instrument controlled without physical contact by the musician. Inspired by Abstraction, Dadaism, album art, and poster art, Ruscha’s work challenges the traditional definition of what art can be and invites viewers to focus on enjoying the visual stimulation, free of self-judgement.

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.

Bid Increments

£50 increments for bids of £300 – £1,000

£100 increments for bids of £1,000 – £2,000

£250 increments for bids of £2,000 – £5,000

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.
