Omer Fast

Omer Fast’s probing, storytelling video work interweaves personal accounts with media narratives. His politically charged subject matter covers issues of race, pornography, and war—both historical battles and contemporary conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. Fast’s approach as such is exemplified in the 2003 video installation Spielberg’s List, for which the artist interviewed inhabitants of Cracow, Poland, who worked as extras in Steven Spielberg’s 1993 film Schindler’s List. The participants' accounts of both the Hollywood taping and the historical German occupation of Poland are juxtaposed with depictions of two increasing indistinguishable sites: the film set and the German labor camp. In this way, Fast mixes sound and image to poignantly confuses fact and fiction.

Fast was the 2008 recipient of the Bucksbaum Award from the Whitney Museum of American Art. He has exhibited widely, including in solo exhibitions at the Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, the Berkeley Art Museum, the Museum of Modern Art in Vienna, the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh, Pinakothek der Moderne in Munich, and the Frankfurter Kunstverein in Frankfurt. Fast was also feature in dCOUMENTA 13.

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.

Buyer's Premium & Additional Charges

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.

Check Out

Winning bidders will be contacted within 48 hours to arrange shipping and to provide final price including commission, shipping, and taxes and duties when applicable. Promotion codes cannot be applied to auction works.

* Price listed does not include buyer's premium (if applicable), sales tax, shipping, or handling fees.
