Tschabalala Self

Tschabalala Self (b.1990 Harlem, USA) lives and works in Upstate, NY. Self is an artist and builds a singular style from the syncretic use of painting, printmaking and sculpture to explore ideas surrounding the black body. She constructs depictions of predominantly women using a combination of sewn, printed, and painted materials, traversing different artistic and craft traditions. The formal and conceptual aspects of Self’s work seek to expand her critical inquiry into selfhood and human flourishing. Recent solo exhibitions and performances include Kunstmuseum, St. Gallen (2023); Le Consortium, Dijon (2022); Performa 2021 Biennial, New York City (2021); Baltimore Museum of Art, Baltimore (2021); ICA, Boston (2020); Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; Art Omi, Ghent (2019); Frye Art Museum, Seattle (2019) and Yuz Museum, Shanghai (2018).

Her work has been exhibited at ARKEN Museum of Modern Art, Ishøj (2022); Haus der Kunst, Munich (2022); Kunsthalle Duesseldorf, Duesseldorf (2021); Brooklyn Museum, New York (2021); Pinakothek Der Moderne, Munich (2021); Centro Pecci Prato, Prato (2020/21); MOCA Jacksonville, Jacksonville (2020); The Frances Young Tang Teaching Museum and Art Gallery, Saratoga Springs (2020); Pérez Art Museum, Miami (2020); Kunstverein Hannover, Hannover (2020); Whitechapel Gallery, London (2020); Rubell Museum, Miami (2019); Irish Museum of Modern Art, Dublin (2019); Philadelphia Art Museum, Philadelphia; Museum of Modern art San Diego (2019); MoMA PS1, New York (2019); Museum of Modern Art, Warsaw (2019); Jewish Museum, San Francisco (2019); Le Centre Régional d’Art Contemporain OCCITANIE / Pyrénées-Méditerranée, Sète (2018); Crystal Bridges Museum of American Art, Bentonville (2018); University Art Museum, Albany State University, Albany (2018); Mana Contemporary, Jersey City (2018); New Museum, New York (2017); Tramway, Glasgow (2017); Parasol Unit Foundation for Contemporary Art, London (2017); The Museum of Sex, New York (2017), Art and Practice, Los Angeles (2016), The Studio Museum in Harlem, New York (2016).

How it Works

How bidding works

To place a bid, enter the maximum amount you are willing to pay for the work. Artspace will accept a bid at the next increment, and save any excess amount as a maximum bid. If you are outbid, we will continue bid on your behalf up to your maximum bid.

Bid Increments

Bidding increments increase at the following intervals:

Below $400: $50
Between $400 and $699: $100
Between $700 and $1,499: $200
Between $1,500 and $2,499: $300
Between $2,500 and $4,999: $500
Between $5,000 and $9,999: $1,000
Between $10,000 and $19,999: $2,000
Between $20,000 and $29,999: $3,000
Between $30,000 and $49,999: $4,000
Between $50,000 and $99,999: $5,000
Above $100,000: $10,000

You will receive an email confirmation of your bid and when you are outbid.

If you are the winning bidder, you will be contacted 48 hours after of the close of the auction.

Maximum Bidding

Every bid submitted is treated as a maximum bid. You should always bid the maximum you are willing to spend for a work, though this does not necessarily mean you will pay that price. As the auction unfolds, we will increase your bid by increments to ensure you remain the highest bidder. If the winning amount is less than your maximum bid, you will pay the current increment. If your maximum bid no longer exceeds the current bid, you will receive an outbid notification email, and have the option to bid again.

In the case of multiple bidders placing the same maximum bid, the first person to place the maximum amount takes precedence as the highest bid until another bidder exceeds the maximum amount.

Buyer's Premium & Additional Charges

For Artspace Auctions winning bidders are charged a 15% Buyer's Premium on top of the hammer price. For Artspace Benefit Auctions, Buyer's Premiums are not applied. If they are, this will be clearly noted. Purchases made from all auctions, including benefit auctions, are subject to sales tax.

Check Out

Winning bidders will be contacted within 48 hours to arrange shipping and to provide final price including commission, shipping, and taxes and duties when applicable. Promotion codes cannot be applied to auction works.

* Price listed does not include buyer's premium (if applicable), sales tax, shipping, or handling fees.
