Notes

Peintures
Postmodern art is a body of art movements that sought to contradict some aspects of modernism or some aspects that emerged or developed in its aftermath. In general, movements such as intermedia, installation art, conceptual art and multimedia, particularly involving video are described as postmodern.

There are several characteristics which lend art to being postmodern; these include bricolage, the use of words prominently as the central artistic element, collage, simplification, appropriation, performance art, the recycling of past styles and themes in a modern-day context, as well as the break-up of the barrier between fine and high arts and low art and popular culture.

Contemporary art is the art of today, produced by artists who are living in the twenty-first century. Contemporary art provides an opportunity to reflect on contemporary society and the issues relevant to ourselves, and the world around us. Contemporary artists work in a globally influenced, culturally diverse, and technologically advancing world. Their art is a dynamic combination of materials, methods, concepts, and subjects that challenge traditional boundaries and defy easy definition. Diverse and eclectic, contemporary art as a whole is distinguished by the very lack of a uniform, organizing principle, ideology, or âism.â Contemporary art is part of a cultural dialogue that concerns larger contextual frameworks such as personal and cultural identity, family, community, and nationality.

In vernacular English, "modern" and "contemporary" are synonyms, resulting in some conflation of the terms "modern art" and "contemporary art" by non-specialists.
Some define contemporary art as art produced within "our lifetime," recognizing that lifetimes and life spans vary. However, there is a recognition that this generic definition is subject to specialized limitations.[2]

The classification of "contemporary art" as a special type of art, rather than a general adjectival phrase, goes back to the beginnings of Modernism in the English-speaking world. In London, the Contemporary Art Society was founded in 1910 by the critic Roger Fry and others, as a private society for buying works of art to place in public museums.[3] A number of other institutions using the term were founded in the 1930s, such as in 1938 the Contemporary Art Society of Adelaide, Australia,[4] and an increasing number after 1945.[5] Many, like the Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston changed their names from ones using "Modern art" in this period, as Modernism became defined as a historical art movement, and much "modern" art ceased to be "contemporary". The definition of what is contemporary is naturally always on the move, anchored in the present with a start date that moves forward, and the works the Contemporary Art Society bought in 1910 could no longer be described as contemporary.

Particular points that have been seen as marking a change in art styles include the end of World War II and the 1960s. There has perhaps been a lack of natural break points since the 1960s, and definitions of what constitutes "contemporary art" in the 2010s vary, and are mostly imprecise. Art from the past 20 years is very likely to be included, and definitions often include art going back to about 1970;[6] "the art of the late 20th and early 21st century";[7] "the art of the late 20th cent. and early 21st cent., both an outgrowth and a rejection of modern art";[8] "Strictly speaking, the term "contemporary art" refers to art made and produced by artists living today";[9] "Art from the 1960s or [19]70s up until this very minute";[10] and sometimes further, especially in museum contexts, as museums which form a permanent collection of contemporary art inevitably find this aging. Many use the formulation "Modern and Contemporary Art", which avoids this problem.[11] Smaller commercial galleries, magazines and other sources may use stricter definitions, perhaps restricting the "contemporary" to work from 2000 onwards. Artists who are still productive after a long career, and ongoing art movements, may present a particular issue; galleries and critics are often reluctant to divide their work between the contemporary and non-contemporary.

The late 1980s were a boom period for art auction houses. However, in early 1990, the market collapsed. The USA overtook the EU as the world's largest art market[16] with a global share of 47 per cent by 2001.[17] Ranking second, the UK's world market share hovers around 25 per cent. In continental Europe, France was the market leader while in Asia, Hong Kong continues its dominance. Franceâs share of the art market has been progressively eroded since the 1950s, when it was the dominant location and sales at Drouot surpassed those of Sothebyâs and Christieâs combined.[18] In 2004, the global fine art market turnover was estimated at almost billion.[19] Art auction sales reached a record billion in 2007, fueled by speculative bidding for artists such as Damien Hirst, Jeff Koons, and Richard Prince.[20] The recent rise of the Chinese art market, both in terms of the size of its domestic sales and the international significance of its buyers, has, combined with a rich cultural heritage of art and antiques, produced a huge domestic market and ended the duopoly held by London and New York for over 50 years.

Conditions of sale

All items will be shipped within 48 hours of receiving payment for your purchases.
INVOICING: Internet bid winners may receive one invoice for bid winning and a separate invoice for shipping and handling charges. We reserve the right to make two charges to your credit card: one charge for the items purchased, and a separate charge for the applicable shipping. In most cases we will only send one invoice that includes Shipping & Handling fees. We package the items prior to invoicing so we can more accurately charge for Shipping & Handling. Live auction attendee bid winners shall receive one invoice.
LEGAL POSSESSION: Bidders agree to inquire and conform to any legal requirements regarding buying, receiving, owning or storing an item before bidding on an item. By bidding, the bidder professes he/she has a legal right to buy and receive an item.
In some countries it is illegal to ship certain items such as coins, jewelry, and gold & silver. It is the buyer's responsibility to know whether or not it is legal for us to ship. Illegal items will not be shipped.
SHIPPING: All shipping and handling charges are the sole responsibility of the buyer. Here at Edwards Auctions, packages less than 70lbs. are processed by our professional shipping & packaging team. We do not contract out shipping to a third party. Items that weigh less than 70 lbs. are shipped Parcel Select, PRIORITY mail or Media Mail. We may ship UPS If we find it cheaper to ship. Additionally, packages that contain any hazardous materials--liquids, firearms, ammunition--are required to go through UPS. If more than one item is purchased we will combine shipping. Shipping Charges are billed to your credit card, in some cases separately from your winning bid invoice. We normally wrap, pack, box, measure & weigh all items and print labels for shipping. We will then send an invoice for your purchases with the shipping and handling fees included in the total. PLEASE NOTE: You may receive an e-mail with USPS tracking information, but this does not mean that your items have been shipped. This is simply a notification e-mail indicating that a label has been created and USPS can expect a package to be shipped.
All items will be shipped with insurance. To file a claim for damaged items you must send photos of the damaged items and photos of the box the items were shipped in. Without these photos I cannot and will not give refunds. Cost of shipping is not refundable. If you do not want insurance you must call and request no insurance! Uninsured items are shipped at your own risk. No refunds! No credit will be issued for non-insured items!
We try to keep the shipping and handling fees to a minimum. We will combine items as much as possible. We cannot control the cost of shipping.
Please keep in mind shipping is expensive! Costs are affected by the size and weight of items as well as buyers' geographic location. The heavier & larger the package is, or the further away a buyer lives, the more expensive the shipping will be.
SMALL PACKAGES: In most cases we only charge an extra $2 or $3 dollars to help cover the cost of the time and material for the smaller packages. We do not charge for boxes we get for free. We reuse as much packaging material as we can in order to avoid charging for the material. If you want all new packaging material, we must charge accordingly and you must request New Packaging material. We must charge for boxes, and packaging materials that we purchase.
LARGE PACKAGES: For the larger individual items and purchases of large lots of multiple items, we will combine items in the same box. We will ship around 50 lbs. per box. In most cases we have large free boxes. Sometimes we do not, although our boxes are priced reasonably.
Prices: (1) Large Box 18x18x24 = $4.00 - (1) Med. Box 16x18x18 = $2.00 - (1) Small Box 12x12x16 =$1.50
We must charge for new bubble wrap and peanuts when necessary. Please keep this in mind. Packaging multiple, small items is time consuming. Time is money. We wrap, pack, double box and do the best we can to insure your items arrive safe. This takes time. Time is $10.00 per man per hour.
Any Item weighing over 70 pounds is the sole responsibility of the buyer to arrange for shipping.
Non-shippable items, and items for which we cannot obtain a box, or items weighing over 70lbs. are totally the responsibility of the winning bidder. This means you as the winning bidder must make all arrangements to have the item picked up by the shipper, packed and boxed, and subsequently shipped. Our responsibility ends once your designated carrier/shipper picks the item up from the auction house and signs for it. All correspondence from that point forward would be between you and your carrier/shipper.
