TATE WARD AUCTION 
'SEND NUDES' COFFEE TABLE BOOK WITH ORIGINAL NUDE STUDY
 
In collaboration withTate Ward Auction house 'By Collectors For Collectors'
Listed on Artsy
Bidding closes 16th February, 6:16pm (GMT)
Estimate value: £1,000 - £1,500

Hiya Loves, 


As you may know, 'Send Nudes' will be the biggest project of my entire life and I wanted to make sure this Book legit goes down in bloody history....so I've partnered the book with one of my very first, original nude studies and have put it up for Auction, in collaboration withTate Ward Auction house! 


One of the reasons that doing this was so important to me, was to establish the books provenance and reassure my beautiful collectors that it really is going to be worth the wait (lol 3 years in the making,,,) I think for any Artist, historic events, such as this auction in my case, can give an indication of the long term value of the piece (or book!). So I am beyond grateful to see our first bid has already been placed.


You can keep updated with its progress below and of course we are still inviting bids for you to get the very first copy of Send Nudes, as well as an Original, framed study. Bidding will close on Thursday 16th February at 6:16pm (GMT).


Love you all,
All the information you need to know is below!

WHAT KIND OF AUCTION IS THIS 

This auction is online-only, held exclusively via Artsy. The lots in the sale will open for bidding at the same time, after which bids can be placed via our bidding platform. All lots will then close at individually set times.

WHEN DOES BIDDING CLOSE

Bidding will begin to close on February 16th at  6:16 pm (GMT)

HOW DO I SIGN UP TO BID 

In order to bid, you will need to register via Artsy. This is easy and you can do so here! You will need to confirm your email address, so remember to check your inbox after registering.

HOW DO I BID

You will need to place a maximum bid anytime before the sale ends, which means you place the absolute max bid price you would be willing to pay for the lot. As the sale progresses, if/when other collectors also bid on your lot of interest, Artsy will automatically bid on your behalf for the lowest competitive price up to, but not exceeding, your defined maximum bid amount. 


For example if your maximum bid is £2,000, and someone bids £1,500, you won't pay £1,500 only the next bidding increment to £1,500 which is £100 for this price range.

WHAT IS A BIDDING INCREMENT

Bidding increments determine the next bid that can be placed. Increments are based on the current bid and increase as bidding goes up. These differ depending on the price range, take a look at Artsy's bidding increments below:


£1,000 - £1,999: £100

£2,000 - £4,999: £250

£5,000 - £9,999: £500

WHAT IF TWO PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME MAXIMUM BID 

 If two bidders attempt to enter the same maximum bid, the first bidder to enter that amount will be the winner.

HOW DO I KEEP TRACK OF MY BIDS

Artsy will email you when they receive your bids and whenever you are outbid. If you win, they will notify you of your winning bids after the auction ends.. 

We recommend keeping an eye out on the bids when it is near to the closing time (17th November 4.00pm GMT).
