About the work

This work is one of a series of 30 made during the first national COVID lockdown, whilst my daughter and I were recovering from Coronavirus. We spent much of that month in the garden, where our cherry tree was blossoming. All the works in the series were made using rubber stamps that I had made based on Cherry Blossom (Sakura) by Hokusai. Sakura symbolises the beauty of ephemerality, and I was thinking a lot about trees in general – how they generate the air we breathe, how they symbolise temporality, and how this all connects to COIVD (as a respiratory illness).

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.
