Very low estimates £8-12k for the LIITA signed print. I think it will go for double. They usually list estimates very low. Great cross section of prints so will definitely be interesting.

So this went unsold which should come as no huge surprise given its estimate and the fact that just 15 other works by this artist have ever exceeded the low estimate at auction. I don't think consigning with outrageous estimates does the owner any favors and would argue a teaser rate along with the house for better results. Plus, now it has the burned distinction which is unfortunate. BANKSY Study for Happy Choppers, 2003 spray paint on found framed oil painting 79 x 109.7 cm (31 1/8 x 43 1/4 in.) This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by Pest Control. Estimate £300,000 - 400,000 ‡ ♠ Sold For Bought In The awkward diamond chucker fared better but still not all that great . This owner would have done FAR better in terms of investment (artistic enjoyment notwithstanding) buying unsigned prints over the past 4 years which is a strange yet true statement. BANKSY Love is in the Air (AKA Flower Thrower), 2010 spray paint on canvas diamond: 84.5 x 84.5 cm (33 1/4 x 33 1/4 in.) square: 60 x 60 cm (23 5/8 x 23 5/8 in.) Signed and dated 'BANKSY 2010' on the reverse. This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity issued by Pest Control. Estimate £150,000 - 200,000 ‡ ♠ SOLD FOR £134,500 I think it was a combination of high estimates and being at a less popular auction house. Lower estimate and including it with the Bonhams July 1st or 14th auction would have most likely yielded a different result. The flower thrower was a great deal IMO for such an iconic 1/1

I don't think I would look at that cup and think it was a Hayuk rip-off, but I do think that if an advertising company reaches out to an artist with a very particular style, tries to convince them to work on a campaign and fails, they are (morally – I expect they've covered themselves legally) not then at liberty to create their own versions of that art for that campaign anyway. There was a major court case here where a company was trying to hire Tom Waits for a commercial or something, and he said no, so they hired a sound-alike. Tom Waits sued and won and it was considered a major win for artist's rights I don't know if Maya Hayuk would win the same case though, being the cups look more generic than her work, plus other artists have done similar styles before her. It will be interesting to see what happens though She's off her rocker

The actual existence or number of these "special" pieces really is of no significance to the overall market in regard to supply as they are insignificant quantities to have an affect on demand. Very cloudy as what to expect as far as "official" releases from here on out if any but what we can count on is more elaborate, thought provoking and attention grabbing spectacles as he continues to step up what he is best at, street work. IMO his outside works are by far the most meaningful, entertaining and bring the most excitement for me. I think that the very best work he does everyone gets for free ( aside from this "forgive us" piece that has just surfaced...I really want that fucker) You're quite right BA no relevance to the bubble discussion just clearing up bs that gets spread regularly As for that forgive us piece isn't that from a group show some 3/4 years back and was used in the marketing of exit ? I despise it because of what it was used for. This piece is a much smaller version of the MOCA piece done here in LA. Was there for that show and it was a monster.

These threads pop up every year once or twice and it's always a fairly simple equation. Supply and demand..period. Art or anything of value just doesn't "POP" or "Crash" without underlying forces causing it which directly affect the supply and or the demand in some way. VIP prints aside, there has not been any new significant supply in 5 years, so unless there is a barrage of releases pending, I don't see the supply factor having any impact on pricing. With demand I do agree it has slowed since BOTI but that is a general cycle for any globally viewed occupation or stunt he may do. NY was a massive one so it stands to reason there would be larger than normal demand to follow. That said, demand I believe is still increasing over all. So with no new significant supply and increasing demand you can expect prices to increase. Sure they will never always give the same year over year return but there are no indications of anything that would be the true definition of a financial "bubble". These are new uncharted waters and there never has been an artist, or what I call the "anti-artist", who has done what Banksy has done. He has literally produced less as his notoriety and demand has grown and then stopped publically releasing pieces all together at the very top. The exact reverse of what any other artist would do and has done. Can there be a "crash" of his work in the future.... of course, but not under the current market conditions. What comes in the future no one knows, but I'd bet on him doing exactly what he has been doing....Being constantly clever, elusive and in demand.

being that this was already covered and done in a few videos by AK47... seems a bit redundant to try and do it again.

Hi all, I'm looking to insure some of my collection and haven't done so before. I just called my insurer and they need a written valuation from a dealer before they can go ahead. Does anyone know of anyone who can carry out such a service? Have posted this in the other board before but hands down the best way to go is to use a blanket policy with reputable insurer that covers your total collection for a good set amount over its current value. In the event of a loss you then obtain the value of the piece / pieces in question then. It is the value of the piece at the time of the loss that is important not its current value. Also a futile process to have to amend your policy every time your banksy goes up in value, which could very well be numerous times a year. This method is very common and it what I use and what I have recommended to many others. Just keep good documentation (photos ect), purchase receipts and your COAs in a safe place preferably not where the art is kept.

I always love a good quote or two so figured this would be a great place for posting your favorite quotes. Can be from anyone really.
Not my fav but was reminded of this one today so I'll kick it off
"New York calls to graffiti writers like a dirty old lighthouse. We all want to prove ourselves here, I chose it for the high foot traffic and the amount of hiding places. Maybe I should be somewhere more relevant, like Beijing or Moscow, but the pizza isn't as good."

Says signed in stencil on the reverse... No it doesn't. It says 'stencil on the turnover edge'. Yes, I just remember it said it was signed and didn't bother to look back at the listing.. my bad. Have never seen anyone use the term "turnover edge". Well I think we all can agree it's stencil signed somewhere LOL.

I really like that Keep it Real even avoiding the feet like the print. I presume that is unsigned (not that it makes one bit of difference to me) despite the (somewhat) misleading lot notes. IE the COA would read unsigned for whomever that information matters. Says signed in stencil on the reverse... but I agree pieces are great with and w out on the front. From what I have seen all PC originals are either stencil signed on the front, back, canvas side or hand signed on the reverse.
