How long will it take to get my painting if I win the bid?
Typically a painting is posted for auction the day it was completed, so it’ll need a few weeks to dry.
Once dry, I’ll apply a coat of retouch varnish, wrap the painting in glassine paper to protect the surface, and ship it off to you in a padded mailer.
You’ll receive your tracking information at that time.
What is a proxy bid?
Proxy bidding, otherwise known as maximum bidding, is an automatic bidding system that place a bid on your behalf for the lowest amount possible up to your maximum bid.
Simply enter the highest amount you are willing to pay and the system will bid for you as prompted by other bids. You will be notified by email if your maximum bid is outbid.
