Tracey Emin once accused her former boyfriend, artist Billy Childish, of being "stuck, stuck, stuck" with figurative painting; hence the "stuckism" movement. But out in New York last week, Childish’s art was far from stuck, and sold, sold, sold at the Art Dealers Association of America fair through his dealer, Lehmann Maupin.
Fifteen paintings sold for prices between €25,000 to €45,000 to buyers from Turkey, China, Hong Kong, Korea, and the United States, where one was acquired by a trustee of the Cleveland Museum of Art.
