ive always been surprised that CWSB never took off like Stop and Search did.

It's a polarizing image especially since 30% of the world is Christian. Although its a satire on commercialism rather than religion I think most people of faith would find it taboo to display something like that. Considering its rarity it should do much better at auction but people love bubbly/familiar images...GWRB, Pulp Fiction, S&S. Most people are scared off by napalm, TM etc

i get most of that but it doesnt strike me that much of that applies to someone who’d gladly shell out a sizeable sum on a Banksy print. But maybe he has a high percentage of regular church attendees in his fan base.

Condition wise the one in Bukowskis today done very well.

Its the religion thing.

Just look at the two auction results for the Grappling Hook, while some say they were okay I would have thought they would sell a lot higher

Does anyone have any experience of buying from non UK Auction houses like bukowskis or heritage for example.

What are the taxes, carriage and insurance liabilities?

Feels like a faff.

I have bought / sold with Bukowskis while living in Stockholm - smooth and reliable. BP etc should be on their website. Living locally I picked up my stuff so no experience with shipping / insurance.
Can recommend them.

Bonhams Announces Acquisition of Bukowskis

Dear clients,

I am delighted to announce Bonhams' acquisition of Bukowskis, the leading auction house in the Nordic region.

Established in 1870 and with its flagship saleroom in Stockholm, Bukowskis is renowned throughout Scandinavia. During recent years they have transformed themselves from a much-loved, traditional, and respected brand into an innovative digital presence that attracts more than one million users every month.

Last year, Bukowskis sold 11 out of the 15 most valuable artworks in the Swedish market – including achieving the highest price for Swedish artwork ever sold at auction – as well as several prestigious collections. In addition to selling fine art and collectibles at its salerooms in Stockholm and Helsinki, Bukowskis has extended its global reach digitally through its app and website presence.

Bonhams’ acquisition of such a celebrated auction house is an important part of our strategy to further the development of Bonhams into a digital leader and a truly global player with a balanced presence across the US, Europe and Asia.

We are very excited to welcome Chief Executive Louise Arén and the entire Bukowskis team to the Bonhams family.
