This one is a classic in six parts... wish I could afford even the lower estimate

www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/ecatalogue/2013/contemporary-art-day-auction-l13025/lot.133.html

Any guesses on what it might fetch?

[craigf]

Anyone fancy coming in with me to buy this, I just need five other forumites with about £15k knocking about. Obviously I get first dibs for number 6

Whats gold fillings going for at the moment?.

Count me in if I can have number 6 ...go on Craig you take number 5...the colours would suit your living room more than number 6 !?!

[Shoot Again]

Count me in for (secret) number 7 then ;-)

[gironawatch]

I'm in for £15k

This one is from LAZ.
I think asking price was £110k

[Cornish Crayon]

180,000

[Deleted]

Im guessing it wont sell, if it was saleable Laz would have already sold it,punters want the more commercial stuff ie. corrupted oils and prints.
IMO.

[Cornish Crayon]

But laz isn't Sotheby's wiz dude

Buyers would sooner have a auction label attached, and will pay more for that letter


Really!!!! We will see ?

I think it could fetch triple the estimate tbh

True enough, wider audience as well i suppose, be interesting to see what it fetches.

not my cuppa , alas.

anyone else think - if you saw this you wouldn't know it to be banksy on sight ?

it's not one of his better works.. has to be said. Give me festival, or a rat.. any day over this ... yes a print
(oh and don't talk to me about Choose Your Weapon - it's still gash).

His sense of humour (and love of CCTV) shows through, but yes, at first glance I'd put it down as a David Shrigley.

If a syndicate bought this, would you really split it up?

Think it's quite a cracking idea to gain a Banksy. One note of caution would be only 1 COA from PC and only number 6 is signed. As far as I can tell. So the other bits will not have a great resale value if any one decides at some point to move them on. So might be worth as an idea weighting the price of number 6

I kid you not, one of the old laz pdf's from early '08 has the ask at nearly 6X that amount. That was at the very end of that relationship though (when it was cheaper to source on secondary) before the split and formation of pest control.

No clue what this will bring as it's borderline atypical though it will definitely sell above that high. I was also surprised that is the lone Banksy in all of the October London sales and curious to see if any pop up in NY November.

laz have been flogging that for ages

[Graham H]

Or not as the case may be!!

Looks like they need to find a bit of cash!

I would be keen on doing this, but we would have to rock paper scissors on number 6

Really?, 6 times?,crikey. So does Laz still own this and is it he who has entered it into the sale?, if so he is bound to have put a high reserve surely?.

I see its rarity and possible importance as a work of an era in the Banksy evolution, however i find it dull and not in keeping with his more usual works, thats just me i suppose, if i were looking for a Banksy i would be seeking a canvas and not this.

[iamzero]

I can't remember if it was £250k or £500k when I asked? I was too busy gawping at the set of Kate's.

AS C215 said it (and he's a massive Banksy fan !) : "Banky's Art is meant to be understood, not collected" ;-)

[johnnyh]

68 what a top price for the buyer considering the Lennin yesterday.
Not a vintage Banksy piece but what a cracking piece for that price.......I really liked it so massive congrats if it's anyone on here

Superb

[Deleted]

68 for 6 pieces/parts right?
How much would the Elephant Bomber go for then?

[Ruggs]

That's less than £11.5k per board.

[Simococo]

It's an all time classic piece. Clearly not in the right auction.
