About the work

This print is of a drawing I made of two photographic works by Jo Spence in Glasgow Museum’s storage. I showed a larger version of this work in my exhibition Not Just the Perfect Moments at Drawing Room in 2012. Photography and drawing are brought into close relation with this work and both are questioned as techniques for representing, and caring for, the past. Spence often asked who owned images – especially images of the body. I made this work to reinstate such questioning by treating Spence’s work as the subject or body, and the Museum’s store as the subject’s stage.

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.
