Dan Colen

Dan Colen is a mainstay of the New York art world who creates paintings, sculptures, and installations that dissect the precise moment an artwork descends upon an artist for creation. His earliest works implanted mystical totems such as the tooth fairy and Jesus Christ into banal interiors, summoning divine intervention that acquires humor from its proximity to reality. His subsequent works attempted to find the spirit or power pulling the strings of expression, using chewing gum and smoke from candles, for example, to determine the path of these works. In 2011 he began the “Miracle” series using stills from Disney’s Fantasia to summon “collective imagination” in gigantic forms. This pure space of fantasy taps into the “painterly sublime,” through which Colen explores the abyss of creation and it’s origins.

Colen has exhibited at a number of institutions including Royal Academy, London, MoMA PS 1, New York, National Museum of Art, Architecture, and Design, Oslo, New Museum, New York, FLAG Art Foundation, New York, and Brant Foundation Art Study Center, Greenwich, Connecticut, among others. He participated in the 2006 Whitney Biennial in New York and the 12th Biennale de Lyon in 2013.

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.
