About the work

With shows and projects postponed due to the pandemic and without access to a studio, Round spent successive lockdowns confined to working from home. Days were, for the most part, occupied with designing and constructing a self-build studio after Walter Segal. Evenings were spent listening to podcasts, making works on paper. These works, usually pencil and watercolour on paper, depict both the artist’s immediate surroundings – the house and garden, and the world elsewhere – through time and space, via screenshots and found images. Varying in abstraction and subject, the series includes still-life interiors, groundworks for the self-build studio, flower arrangements from the Ikenobo Scroll, houses and studios of queer artists, and snapshots by Félix González-Torres. Interior with Tahiti Lamp and Rotten Fruit shows the artist’s untidy desk: a pot of pens, a piece of rotting fruit and the base of a Tahiti lamp.

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.
