About the work

Dangerous Curves, is a series of drawings made during the UK lockdowns of the 2020 Global Pandemic. The drawings refer to the ubiquitous graphs, seen in the early stages of Covid 19, with names ascribed to their lines like ‘do nothing’ and ‘flatten the curve’. These names provide a taxonomy of titles for the work. The Dangerous Curves reflect the historic moment, employing a curve template to delineate lines of mortality, in graphite, charcoal, flesh and sanguine.

There are over a hundred drawings.

About the artist:

Born in Shropshire, Judith Goddard lives and works in London. Graduated from Reading University, BA Fine Art, and the Royal College of Art. M.A. Environmental Media.

Recognised from the 1980’s for her works with the moving image, Goddard’s practice has encompassed single channel video work, large-scale installation, sculpture, photography and drawing. Concerned with perception and the role it plays in our experience of the world, the work often uses a lens of sight and site; with drawing, Goddard considers the paper as site. Her work has been exhibited nationally and internationally, with installations at the Whitechapel Gallery, Tate Liverpool, Kettle’s Yard, Apeejay Gallery, New Delhi, and the Minsheng Art Museum, Shanghai.

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.

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.
