About the work

This work is made using fluorescent spray paint and carbon line on vintage herbarium paper and acetate. Hop/Tag (2020) draws from my long-term interest in the dynamic growth geometry of light-hungry hop plants and their cultivation. In the drawing, fractal patterns from hop stringing create a space on the page for a solo female performer. 

About the artist:

Born 1966 Folkestone, Jyll Bradley lives and works in London. Graduated from BA Fine Art at Goldsmiths College (1988), and Higher Diploma (Media) Slade School of Art (1993).

Bradley's installations, films, drawings and sculptures bring together the formal vigour of Minimalism with a highly personal exploration of identity and place. Light is an important protagonist in her practice, and she talks of using it to “bring things into the present”. Her work combines craftsperson-ship with industrial fabrication through dynamic pairings of materials from different art histories or traditions – for instance fluorescent Edge-Lit Plexiglas with re-purposed timber. Bradley's work often engages with site and the creation of new, spaces. Her acclaimed public realm commissions include Green/Light (for M.R.) for The Folkestone Triennial and Dutch/Light for Turner Contemporary.

Her work is held in public and private collections including Government Art Collection, UK; Folkestone Art Works (long term loan); Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool; National Library of Australia; and Canberra Museum and Art Gallery.

Selected exhibitions include a solo presentation at The Fruitmarket Gallery, Edinburgh (2021); Sculpture in the City, London (2018, 2019, 2020); Neo-Geometry, New Art Centre, Roche Court (2017); Drawing Biennial, The Drawing Room, London (2015, 2017, 2019, 2021); City of Trees, The National Library of Australia, Canberra (2013); The Negligent Eye, The Bluecoat, Liverpool (2011); Naming Spaces, Newlyn Art Gallery (The Exchange), Penzance (2010); The Botanic Garden, Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool (2008); This Storm Is What We Call Progress, Arnolfini, Bristol (2005); Fragrant Guangzhou, Vitamin Creative Space, Guangzhou (2004); Esencia Floral, Museo De Antioquia, Medellin (2004); and The British Art Show, Hayward Gallery, London (1990).

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.

£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

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.
