Joe Bradley

Joe Bradley is notorious for his shape-shifting capabilities on canvas, merging minimalism and figuration in works that are at times spiritual, hallucinogenic, and funky. He considers painting to be an inner travel, and reacts to his aesthetic impulses as they arrive. His Schmagoo Paintings are comprised of generated monochromatic modular rectangles sculpted into loosely recognizable items, followed by cryptic emblems reminiscent of medieval battle flags. Although his black silhouette figures and murky oil paint abstractions might appear from the hand of two different artists, Bradley has an underlying vision of movement and the figure that links his deceptively simple, charming output.

Bradley has exhibited at Le Consortium, Dijon, France, MoMA PS 1, New York, Saatchi Gallery, London, MACRO Foundation, Rome, and a plethora of gallery exhibitions internationally since 2000. He was included in Forever Now: Contemporary Painting in an Atemporal World exhibition at MoMA in 2015, and Portugal Arte 10 in 2010.

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.
