About the work

Focused on ecological discourse, Gabbiani creates depictions of urban nature in its true anarchic state. Gabbiani contemplates non-traditional and overlooked landscapes, such as “non-spaces” where nature and urbanization collide. Reminiscent of settings in science fiction, her philosophical approach depicts humanity secondary to Mother Nature, herself an omnipresent force, and alludes to a reckoning we have both caused and are powerless to stop. This particular drawing is based on the scorched landscapes caused by the Woolsey Fire of 2018 in Southern California. Gabbiani caught a glimpse of the aftermath while driving through the area at night, witnessing a group of palm trees and noticing their particular beauty and pride in standing despite the recent disaster.

Auction close and bidder extension

The auction closes at 9pm (BST) Monday 3rd July, however, if a bid is placed in the last two minutes, the auction end time will extend on that lot for an additional two minutes, or until all bidding has ceased. This is called Popcorn Bidding or Bidder Extension and gives all bidders an equal chance of winning.

Maximum bids

You are more likely to be the winning bidder if at the outset you place a maximum bid i.e. the maximum amount you are willing to pay for the work. Your maximum bid is not visible to other bidders. If another bidder exceeds your maximum bid you will receive an automatic notification. If you have placed a maximum bid the auction site will automatically place bids on your behalf, but only as much is necessary to make sure that you remain the highest bidder, until it reaches your maximum bid. These automatic bids are placed in increments, as shown above.
