About the work

Fixture brings together different strands of drawing traditions, styles and approaches. Indian lotus leaves, Japanese wave patterns, Islamic geometric patterns, Tantric symbolism and Western Minimalism are combined and applied on antique paper. I've been working for the past 25 years with master miniature painter Riyaz Uddin in a studio we established in Jaipur's Old City. Once I've designed and laid out the formal aspects of the image, Riyaz and his assistants render it with infinitesimal detail using single-hair-tipped brushes and the works get passed back and forth between Brooklyn and Jaipur, often over a period of 2 to 3 years, with new layers and details being added on.

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

£500 increments for bids of £5,000 plus

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.
