About the work

All my work is an assemblage of parts. In my studio and in my mind, ‘wholes’ are constructed from ‘parts’. These can be disassembled and made to stand alone. 

About the artist:

Born 1962 Manchester, Cathie Pilkington lives and works in London. Graduated from Edinburgh College of Art (1991), and The Royal College of Art (1997).

Pilkington is an artist whose work engages passionately and critically with the canonical history of figurative sculpture. Crossing the borders of traditional, modern and contemporary idioms, her work combines intensively modelled and painted sculptures within immersive installations comprising a diverse array of props, materials and studio furniture. Her site-responsive installations are balanced ambivalently between chaos and precision and have been described as a kind of art historical fly-tipping.

Selected exhibitions include The Covering, Karsten Schubert, London (2020); Working from Home, Pallant House Gallery, Chichester (2019); Working from Home, Dorich House Museum, London (2018); Doll for Petra, Ditchling Museum of Art and Craft (2017); Life Room: Anatomy of a Doll, Royal Academy Schools Life Room, London (2017); and The Value of the Paw, V&A Museum of Childhood, Bethnal Green (2012).

Awards include being elected as a Royal Academician (2014); and becoming professor of Sculpture at the Royal Academy Schools (2016).

Auction close and bidder extension

The auction closes at 9pm, Mon 5th 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.

Bid Increments

£50 increments for bids of £300 – £1,000

£100 increments for bids of £1,000 – £2,000

£250 increments for bids of £2,000 – £5,000

£500 increments for bids of £5,000 plus

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.
