NEW YORK, NY.- With estimates ranging from $3,500 to 350,000,
Art Now features an impressive selection of work by respected Contemporary artists including Allora & Calzadilla, Tracey Emin, Theaster Gates, Rashid Johnson, Hernan Bas, Chris Ofili, Dan Colen, Robert Longo, and more. Art Now is live for bidding now through December 18 on artnet Auctions.
Shown here, "I Can Feel Your Smile" is a 2005 example of British artist Tracey Emin's neon light installations that spell out the artist's intimate thoughts, desires, fears, passions, etc., in her signature handwritten script. As demonstrated here, Emin’s work is frequently self-referential and she consistently illustrates her own experiences and emotions in intense, intimate engagements with the viewer.
