Greg Slick

Underlying Greg Slick’s formal concerns with hard-edge painting and Minimalism are several key art-historical influences. Chinese calligraphy and landscape painting, particularly a Southern Song dynasty style known as “one-corner” composition, play an important role in his choice and arrangement of shapes, and in the muted palette of his small paintings. An interest in primal manmade structures and their historical connection to abstract painting led him to investigate Neolithic, Iron Age, and Early Christian archeological sites in Ireland. During an artist residency in County Clare, he lived and worked near many such sites and incorporated their structures as abstracted shapes into his paintings and works on paper. Slick is also fascinated by the unexpected relationships between theoretical physics, proposed Neolithic cosmologies, and the Taoist agenda of Chinese literati painting.

Slick has exhibited nationally and internationally, including a solo exhibition in 2016 at The Woodstock Artists Association and Museum, Woodstock, NY and solo shows at Matteawan Gallery, Beacon, NY in 2015 and 2013. He has also participated in recent group exhibitions at Ada Rose Gallery, Kensington, MD and TSA New York and Ground Floor Gallery in Brooklyn, NY. His work was included in several art fairs in 2014 and 2015, including the Governor’s Island Art Fair in Brooklyn with Ground Floor Gallery, JustMAD6 in Madrid, Spain and Select NYC with TSA New York, and Aqua Art Miami, Miami, FL with Matteawan Gallery. Slick has shown at the Katonah Museum of Art, Katonah, NY, 1 Mile Gallery, Kingston, NY, as well as at BAU, Mad Dooley Gallery, and Van Brunt Gallery, Beacon, NY. Curatorial projects include Therefore I Am, The Garrison Art Center, Garrison, NY, and The Illustrious Mr. X: Museum Collection as Character Study (Volumes 1 & 2), Samuel Dorsky Museum of Art, SUNY New Paltz, New Paltz, NY (co-curated with Karlos Carcamo). In 2013 Slick attended an artist residency at the Burren College of Art, Ballyvaughan, Ireland and in 2003 was invited by the Estonian Artists’ Association (EKL) to be a Resident Artist at the Tallinn Art Hall, Tallinn, Estonia.

How it Works

How bidding works

To place a bid, enter the maximum amount you are willing to pay for the work. Artspace will accept a bid at the next increment, and save any excess amount as a maximum bid. If you are outbid, we will continue bid on your behalf up to your maximum bid.

Bid Increments

Bidding increments increase at the following intervals:

Below $400: $50
Between $400 and $699: $100
Between $700 and $1,499: $200
Between $1,500 and $2,499: $300
Between $2,500 and $4,999: $500
Between $5,000 and $9,999: $1,000
Between $10,000 and $19,999: $2,000
Between $20,000 and $29,999: $3,000
Between $30,000 and $49,999: $4,000
Between $50,000 and $99,999: $5,000
Above $100,000: $10,000

You will receive an email confirmation of your bid and when you are outbid.

If you are the winning bidder, you will be contacted 48 hours after of the close of the auction.

Maximum Bidding

Every bid submitted is treated as a maximum bid. You should always bid the maximum you are willing to spend for a work, though this does not necessarily mean you will pay that price. As the auction unfolds, we will increase your bid by increments to ensure you remain the highest bidder. If the winning amount is less than your maximum bid, you will pay the current increment. If your maximum bid no longer exceeds the current bid, you will receive an outbid notification email, and have the option to bid again.

In the case of multiple bidders placing the same maximum bid, the first person to place the maximum amount takes precedence as the highest bid until another bidder exceeds the maximum amount.

For Artspace Auctions winning bidders are charged a 15% Buyer's Premium on top of the hammer price. For Artspace Benefit Auctions, Buyer's Premiums are not applied. If they are, this will be clearly noted. Purchases made from all auctions, including benefit auctions, are subject to sales tax.
