About the work

I have long been interested in collage. This image brings together elements of different aspects I have been noticing, with watercolour, collage, portraiture, popular culture, and colour, with a little Star Trek thrown in…

About the artist:

Born 1965 New York, Jessica Voorsanger lives and works in London. Graduated from Rhode Island School of Design (1987), and Goldsmiths College, London (1993).

Voorsanger’s practice has always been fluid. She is a multi-disciplinarian artist who uses whatever materials are relevant for the project she is currently exploring. The work thematically has always had a foot in popular culture, initially through obsession and fan adulation then branching out to escapist culture and identity but always seeming to come back to TV in some form or another. She is inspired by colour and pattern which also makes its way into the work. She is currently working on a series of paintings that are fabric constructions made with vintage and patterned fabrics, sewn together, that have collaged images, embroideries, and paint interventions. Drawing plays a large part in her thinking.

Her work is held in public and private collections including The Arts Council, London; and The V&A National Art Library, London.

Selected solo exhibitions include Jessica Voorsanger: Partridge Wear Collection, Binghamton University Art Museum, New York (2018); Secrets & Lies, TATE Film Club, Tate Modern, London (2017); Chain Reaction, Commissioned performance, TATE Modern, London (2016); EMPIRE Magazine, MASSIVE WINTER PREVIEW (Oct 2016, Issue 328), Kornhauschen Gallerie, Aschaffenberg (2016); Live Long and Prosper, WORK Gallery, London (2016); It’s Always About the Hair, Deptford X Commission, London (2014); Worldstaronestoppopshop, Kornhauschen Galerie, Aschaffenberg (2013); I Think I Love You, Lounge Festival of Love (commissioned installation), Southbank Centre, London (2014); Art Impostors, Louis Vuitton Maison, London (2011); and Eastenders, Whitechapel Art Gallery, London (2009).

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.
