Lucas Blalock

Brooklyn-based photographer Lucas Blalock uses highly unique and innovative post-production techniques to map, meld and re-form photographic objects and images. His compositions exist in an ever-shifting middle ground between abstract and figurative, digital and analog. The artist says of his practice, “I started to consider how much labor was hidden in the making of a photograph, and began making the evidence of these things part of my picture-making. In the way I was working, this was not only with the physical/optical apparatus of the studio, but also the computer’s tools. In the past few years, with increasing intensity, I have come full circle to thinking about picture-making as a way around the narrow, spectacular magic of the commodity, and as having a much deeper relationship to genuine possibility."*

Lucas Blalock has been a resident at The Fields Project, Oregon, Illinois, 2005, and Yarding: Branch Summer Projects, Carrboro, North Carolina. His publications include the artist’s books Towards a Warm Math (2011) and I Believe You, Liar (2009), as well as a series of interviews with artists for The Photography Post (2010–11). His work has been included in exhibitions at Contact Gallery, Toronto, Art in General, New York, Ramiken Crucible, New York, Festival of the Photograph, Deep Rock, Virginia, 92Y Tribeca, New York, Kate Werble Gallery, New York, Photographers’ Gallery, London, Higher Pictures, New York, Kathleen Cullen Fine Arts, New York, American University Museum at the Katzen Arts Center, Washington, DC and Eighth Veil, Los Angeles.

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.
