About the work

Drawn from life whilst waiting at a service station in Germany, in the municipality of Drei Gleichen (Three Castles), in Thüringer. The station has an outdoor grill, and I drew three men eating pretzels and sausages from the van.

About the artist:

Born 1987 Crewe, Stuart Middleton lives and works in Glasgow. Graduated from BA (Hons) Painting, Camberwell College of Art, London (2009); and HBK Städelschule, Frankfurt am Main (2016).

Middleton’s practice involves drawing, painting, sculpture, text and animation. His projects reflect on structures that both control and comfort, using storytelling as a research method to examine spaces where ideas of responsibility, capital, gender, class and cruelty intersect. His diverse use of materials and his multi-disciplinary approach intentionally seeks to avoid conventional classification in order to develop a resistant form of creativity that is responsive and economical in terms of energy, material and its effect on the environment.

Selected solo exhibitions include Rupert, Lithuania (2021); Stuart Middleton, Carlos/Ishikawa at Qiao Space, Shanghai (2019); Motivation and Personality, Künstlerhaus Halle für Kunst & Medien, Graz (2018); Improvers, Carlos/Ishikawa, London (2018); Beat, Institute of Contemporary Arts, London (2017); Beat, Tramway, Glasgow (2017); the gonks, Carlos/Ishikawa, London (2015); and Sad Sketches, Piper Keys, London (2014).  Selected group exhibitions include Towner International Inaugural Biennial, Towner, Eastbourne (2020); Drawing 2020, Gladstone Gallery, New York (2020); Online Exhibition, The Arts Council Collection, Southbank Centre, London (2020); Animation Beyond Cinema, National Gallery of Art, Washington (2019); Hello, My Name is Capitalism, Peak Projects, London (2019); Techniques of the Observer, Greene Naftali Gallery, New York (2019); Drawing Biennale 2019, Drawing Room, London (2019); Animation Beyond Cinema, National Gallery of Art, Poznan (2018); and Bug Out, Schiefe Zähne, Berlin (2018).

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.
