Sara Berman is a British artist whose work challenges societal narratives around femininity, power, and perception. Drawing on the archetype of the Harlequin as both Trickster and Whore, Berman interrogates the historic objectification of women—radicalising portraiture by turning the gaze inward. Through self-representation, she dismantles the male gaze and asserts control over the visual narrative of female identity. Her muted, delicate aesthetic belies a deeper tension; bruised canvases and fluid linework reveal emotional intensity beneath compositional grace. With every painting, Berman navigates a fragile balance between allure and resistance—where violence lives within beauty and defiance rests inside softness.

Popcorn and cascade bidding:
If a bid is placed during the last 2 minutes of the auction, the closing time will be automatically extended for an additional 2 minutes from the time the last bid was placed. The item will close once all bidding activity has stopped. This is recommended for high-value and popular items. Popcorn bidding prevents bidders from waiting until the last minute to bid without giving the bidders who were outbid an opportunity to rebid.
Cascade bidding ensures auction lots close at staggering times, one after another. For example, the first lot of an auction might close at 12:01pm, the second lot would close at 12:02pm, then the third lot at 12:03pm, etc.
