Description: John Clem Clarke uses familiar objects as subjects for his paintings. Clarke is usually grouped with the photo-realists. While technically accurate, (he does work from combinations of photos using realistic images), this description fails to conveyhow much Clarke likes to play with paint and traditional painting concepts. In "Coffee & Sandwich" Clarke has made the painting appear as simple illustration. Upon closer inspection, the colors and compostional structure grow ever richer and more complex. Clarke has an extensive museum collection, public commissions and auction record pedigree. (Recent auction prices range from about $2000-$18,000). The Museum of Modern Art (New York), Metropolitan Museum of Art (New York), Whitney Museum of American Art (New York) and the Los Angeles County Museum all have examples of his work in their collections. Visit John Clem Clarke's Soho studio. Buyer pays shippingand insurance. View more of Clarke's work inBIDDINGTON'S Contemporary Art Gallery.

*The AutoBid feature is an optional feature which allows you to place a blanket bid on an item.

If someone outbids you, the AutoBid acts as your agent and raises your bid to the next acceptable winning bid. This will continue until your AutoBid limit is reached. In the event of ties, the AutoBid is the winning bid.
