About the work

On the 30th of October 2020, over 100,000 people took to the streets of Warsaw to protest against a near total ban on abortion which has now become law in Poland. This ink on paper image shows a section of the protest and is one of a series of drawings I am making in order to visualise and think about the energy, anger and dynamic of the protestors. It’s also part of a larger project that I am working on in 2021 researching protests that relate to women’s issues; including equality, safety and abortion rights.

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.

£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.
