Tacita Dean, one of the so-called YBAs (Young British Artists), who rose to prominence in the UK during the late 1980s and ’90s, is a filmmaker, photographer, and painter. Her artistic practice has focused a great deal on dance and performance, including several collaborations with the Modernist choreographer and dancer Merce Cunningham. In her final project with Cunningham in 2009, Craneway Event, Dean documented preparations for a 2008 dance project in an empty manufacturing plant overlooking the San Francisco Bay. Dean’s attention to changing bodies, light, and buildings are typical of her work, which often makes studies of material development or disintegration over time.
The sea is a recurring motif in Dean’s work, and the themes that have come to define her filmic oeuvre include subtle lighting, long, static camera takes, minimal narrative, and a sense of meditation, contemplation, and stillness, often accompanied by ambient sound.
Dean was the 1998 recipient of the prestigious Turner Prize, the 2006 Hugo Boss Prize winner, and she was appointed an Officer of the Order of the British Empire. Dean’s work has been shown across the United States, Europe, Asia, and Latin America. Select solo exhibitions include shows at the Fabric Workshop and Museum of Philadelphia, the New Museum in New York, Tate Modern, Paris’s Centre Pompidou, and the Istanbul International Contemporary Dance and Performance Festival.

For first-time buyers and avid collectors alike, a personal Artspace Art Advisor can assist you in learning about, discovering and falling in love with an artwork.
Collector Services will contact you within two business days.
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.
Bidding increments increase at the following intervals:
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.
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.
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.
All our frames are manufactured in the USA, using eco-friendly & sustainably sourced engineered hardwood for durability and a uniform finish that is free of defects. Frames are available in Black or White Satin and Honey Pecan.
All prints are hinged to a conservation quality, acid-free and lignin-free Alpha Cellulose matboard, using an acid-free linen tape. The mat's surface paper is fade and bleed resistant and is attached to a conservation quality foam-core mounting board that will keep the work safe from deterioration over time. Artworks with a deckled or decorative edges will be floated on the matboard, with acrylic spacers to separate the art from the glazing. All mounting is fully reversible, without any potential damage to the art.
All of our frames come with picture quality .090 mm plexiglass, which blocks 66% of UV to prevent color fading from exposure to light, keeping your art protected for years to come. It is now considered the industry standard for artists, museums and galleries throughout the world.
