Condition reports are based on visual inspection by the Capsule team under typical office lighting. Unless otherwise noted, items are not examined under UV light in advance of sale. We do not guarantee the content of written or verbal condition reports. Remember, all lots are previously owned and all sales are final. The absence of a condition report does not imply that there are no condition issues with the lot.
Art has not been examined out of the frame unless otherwise stated. Frames, lampshades, or items described as “supplementary” are not considered integral to the value of the lot and are excluded from condition assessments. This includes any mat, mounting, glazing, hanging apparatus, case, box, or stand. Timepiece movements, lighting elements and items with mechanical or electrical components have not been thoroughly tested and are not covered under warranty by Capsule.

Before joining the New Museum, Flood was chief curator of the Walker Art Center, where he presented influential shows such as Brilliant! New Art from London, along with major exhibitions on Arte Povera, Robert Gober, and Sigmar Polke. His earlier roles included managing editor of Artforum, director at Barbara Gladstone Gallery, and curator at MoMA PS1.A champion of emerging and boundary-pushing artists, Flood also contributed to Frieze and Parkett, taught at institutions including RISD and the Royal College of Art, and helped launch the New Museum’s IdeasCity initiative. His writings are collected in Richard Flood: Notes from the Playground (2017).
