Derrick Adams Art & Prints for Sale

Multidisciplinary artist Derrick Adams explores collage, sculpture, drawing, performance, and video in an attempt to understand the force of popular culture. Focusing on society’s relation to the perception of objects and texts, his work highlights the intersection of art history, music, literature, fashion, and the black experience. Using deconstructivist theories, Adams fragments and manipulates surface and structure to reconfigure familiar objects—and the perception of ideas attached to them. Often incorporating popular iconography, the artist attempts to shed light on the relationship between man and monument, coexisting as representations of one another.

Adams’ exhibition and performance highlights include MoMA P.S.1, The Brooklyn Museum, The Bearden Project at Studio Museum in Harlem, PERFORMA ‘05 & ‘13 (commissioned by the Calder Foundation), Brooklyn Academy of Music, Contemporary Art Museum Houston, and the Birmingham Museum of Art. He is the recipient of the 2009 Louis Comfort Tiffany Award and an honored finalist for the 2011 William H. Johnson Prize.

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.
