Julian's Auctions ๐บ๐ฒ, by Traumax on Sept 17, 2015 16:32:18 GMT 1, Hi Guys,
I know that some of you told about it in few topics but i wanted to create one to denounce and pledge people.
I have contacted Invader by email and he told me that lots 27-28-29 and 148 are stolen from the street and probably reconstituted with new tiles.
It's the same things with Banksy and Blek.

Julian's Auctions ๐บ๐ฒ, by Poly Mindset on Sept 30, 2015 20:04:25 GMT 1, Lot #29 now has a bid of $70k, that's some good thievery. I know it's wrong but I'm a little jealous.

It would be pretty easy to prove that it was the real deal and not care about a PC being issued or not. It's a great piece IMO...

Julian's Auctions ๐บ๐ฒ, by rebelate on Oct 1, 2015 8:31:04 GMT 1, Anyone managed to get the results? Yeah I wrote down most in the booklet while in attendance but I left it in my car. If anyone wants to know anything specific let me know.
Couple notes to be made...
The Flying copper was in bad shape. It was obviously restored in a humidifier/flattening process to the point where the black on the copper itself was so damn faded it looked like it was almost grey in person. It could have also been a combination of sun damage. It really makes me second think if I'd ever buy something off of an online auction without actually seeing the print in person.
The IFTL was dry mounted.
Bidders, with an exception of a few, were really out of the loop on everything. It was like the blind leading the blind. The bomb hugger on cardboard sold for 18500 + buyer fees + taxes. That guy seemed like the only other person in the room that looked like he knew a thing or two about street art. The rest were almost clueless.
When the auctioneer is repeatedly misreading "Shepard Fairey" for "Shepard Farely" you know you're in for fun ride.

Julian's Auctions ๐บ๐ฒ, by Happy Shopper on Oct 1, 2015 12:00:10 GMT 1, That Bomb Hugger looks weird though doesn't it? Is that real? No PC COA I assume.
This auction was on BBC News this morning... saying that the low prices reached for the "originals" (street pieces with no COA!) could signal the end of Banksy. Stupid.

This auction was on BBC News this morning... saying that the low prices reached for the "originals" (street pieces with no COA!) could signal the end of Banksy. Stupid. www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-34409779 I was at this auction last night. I was really surprised most items went below the estimates. I don't agree with what that news article says, I think julien's auction is not the greatest auction house to list street art as they are known for more rock and roll, estates, and celebrity memorabilia. So I think it was a fluke on some pieces and it was a great opportunity to get street art at reasonable prices. For Banksy artwork I personally would not consign with Julian's auctions; if I were to consign it would be with a reputable auction house in London.
In in terms of the bomb hugger being real, Julian's auction is an extremely reputable auction house and they guarantee its authenticity and it came with excellent provenance. And yes, no pest control because it was not for sale to the public so they will not authenticate it.
I hope what I said helps and this is all my own opinion on the art market and Julian's Auctions.

This auction was on BBC News this morning... saying that the low prices reached for the "originals" (street pieces with no COA!) could signal the end of Banksy. Stupid. www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-34409779 I personally went to bid on the bomb hugger, FC, IFTL, Gangster rat. But honestly after seeing the condition of the Flying copper that was already at 8500USD and then finding out the IFTL was was dry mounted. Then when I asked questions regarding the Gangster Rat's framing/condition and getting answers like "It looks perfect". It turned me off to the whole show. Regarding the Bomb Hugger, I'm not quiet sure. When I asked for provenance or origin one of the girls behind the online bidding computers basically opened up the auction booklet and read me the few lines below the photo. Then another representative stepped in and said something about the original owner having a photo with it? I'm not sure but by then I had mentally checked out of the whole show and just stuck around to see what would go down.
If I'm spending $$$ I need to make sure I'm dealing with a competent and knowledgable group of individuals. I didn't see that there. Even the guy who bought up a 1/4 of last night's lot had no rhyme or reason. I would spend $1K on that banksy brick...there's no way anyone can prove that that is the real deal to me, yet the same guy picked that up, the huge wall for over 100K, then a dry mounted IFTL... Whoa SMH

Although it's ungracious of me to say, that auctioneer in the BBC clip comes across as a buffoon.
Julien's Auctions has history for incompetence or recklessness when it comes to due diligence on provenance for works purported to be by Banksy. They also clearly sell street pieces, and thus happily disregard the need for official authentication. One can only pity their buyers โ swayed by offices in Beverly Hills, expensive suits, and a sales patter consisting simply of what wishful thinkers want to hear. I mentioned something similar last year in this post.
For all of the first and second tier auction houses dealing in Banksy art, a Pest Control certificate of authenticity is a prerequisite. It has to be because seasoned Banksy collectors demand COAs. The substantial body of Banksy's work is just too easy to counterfeit. That includes the Blowpop Records cardboard sleeve at Lot 40, which the average stencil-cutter could forge quite convincingly in a day. Even a large portion of novice collectors have sufficient wisdom to recognise this.
Your reference to the auction house being "extremely reputable" therefore comes as a surprise to me. From my perspective, the reputation of Julien's Auctions is such that any Banksy-attributed piece consigned there (even if it happens to be genuine) is actually tainted by association. By this, I mean I'd be extra cautious of work whose history included a sale at the venue.
It's always worth keeping in mind that the fiduciary duty of an auction house is to the consignor/seller, not to the buyer.
With respect to the authenticity guarantee that you mentioned, I'm unconvinced. The TERMS OF GUARANTEE section of the website offers little practical comfort, given its restrictions, conditions and exclusions:

It would be pretty easy to prove that it was the real deal and not care about a PC being issued or not. It's a great piece IMO... SPERM Does anyone know who consigned Sperm Alarm?
The provenance in the above link is described as follows:
PROVENANCE Hesperia Hotel, London Private Collection, London Acquired from the above by present owner
I recall the original theft in 2011 from the Hesperia London Victoria Hotel (now DoubleTree by Hilton), Leon Lawrence being convicted in 2012 of attempting to convert criminal property, and the press at the time stating the artwork was never recovered.
However, the piece showed up as part of the Sincura Group Stealing Banksy? selling show in London last year.
What I'm curious about is whether the hotel property owners were approached after the artwork magically reappeared. I assume the property owners were contacted and some agreement was reached. But, if not, then presumably they may still have a legal title claim.

On Saturday, April 30th 2016, Julienโs Auctions will host its biannual Street & Contemporary Art auction featuring extraordinary highlights from the worldโs most sought after street artists including anonymous graffiti artist Banksy, whose identity was recently revealed by scientists by using a modeling technique.

The auction will also feature a significant collection of over 30 works by the iconic street artist Shepard Fairey, including an HPM silkscreen and mixed media collage signed, dated and titled โObey 95โ (2005) (Estimate: $16,000-$18,000) as well as โWalk The Lineโ (2005) (Estimate: $25,000-35,000) an original work on canvas.

S&S is low and Morons seems quite high on the estimate front?
Thanks for sharing.

Julian's Auctions ๐บ๐ฒ, by Poly Mindset on Apr 1, 2016 17:53:58 GMT 1, This is an unbelievable catalog with some great pieces. I'm sure it will be a very successful auction and there might be some good deals to be had. I'm not talking about the Banksy pieces although they might be nice to have but there is a whole slew of great pieces here. Some of my favorites are #129(MearOne) and #177(Paul Insect). All forum members should check out this catalog as it seems there is something for everyone. Thanks Daniel for posting this.
