Sotheby's Art Auctions โข LONDON ๐ฌ๐ง, by HowAboutNo on Oct 19, 2006 20:46:11 GMT 1, Article in this evenings "London Lite"
He was initially dismissed by many in the art world as a maverick prankster but now graffiti artist Banksy has established himself as a modern art heavyweight in the auction houses.
The reclusive artist broke his own record at auction yesterday when his unique take on Leonardo Da Vinci's Mona Lisa was sold for ยฃ57,600 to a UK-based private collector at Sotheby's Olympia Contemporary Art sale and a Kate Moss series made another ยฃ50,000.
The prices confounded those present, given the pre-sale estimate for the Mona Lisa was ยฃ15,000 to ยฃ20,000. The bidding frenzy led to Banksy more than doubling his previous highest price for a piece, ยฃ21,000, which was set at another Sotheby's Olympia auction last June.
In his version of the Mona Lisa, Banksy used his familiar stencil technique to depict the famous subject with spray paint dripping from her eyes.
A Metropolitan Police evidence tag is attached to the stretcher at the back of the picture.
Collectors were not content with just his reinterpretation of Da Vinci's iconic work; a set of six prints of Kate Moss - portrayed in the style of Andy Warhol's Marilyn Monroe series - fetched just over ยฃ50,000 when they went under the hammer.
Elli Varnavides, contemporary art specialist at Sotheby's Olympia, said: "Of the five lots that we had for sale by Banksy, two of them ended up being our top sales. We were expecting a very impressive sale but because Banksy's record at auctions is relatively new, some people were unsure. But the outcome has been spectacular.
"The Kate Moss lot was also bought by a private collector. The estimate was ยฃ10,000 to ยฃ15,000, so it's quite sensational to go over five times the low estimate. I believe Kate Moss was happy about Banksy using her image in an iconic way."
Ms Varnavides added: "It's not often that we sell works with spray paints but we'll be seeing a lot more of Banksy as he seems to be building up a global presence. We are very excited about including works by him in his next sale in February."
Last month, Banksy held a show in Los Angeles that attracted Brad Pitt, Angelina Jolie, Jude Law and Keanu Reeves. Jolie reportedly spent more than ยฃ200,000 on the Bristol-born artist's works. Banksy's previous efforts include creating a 3.5-tonne bronze of the Old Bailey's statue of Justice wearing thigh-high PVC boots and a suspender belt.
He also hung a "cave painting" of a primitive man pushing a shopping trolley, in the British Museum.
And on the website, an option to quote what you think (can we please make a point of spanking the board up and showing these evening standard reading (ooops - me obviously!) to**ers a thing or two!! - Copy and paste link:
www.thisislondon.co.uk/news/article-23371394-details/Graffiti%20artist%20deposits%20รฝรฝ100,000%20%20in%20his%20banksy%20account/article.do?expand=true#StartComments
First and only comment :
"You can fool some of the people some of the time...
But these copies of copies will not keep their value, and I don't believe for one moment that serious collectors are shelling out serious cash for this junk.
In 20 years' time, no one will have heard of this pitiful charlatan who does not know the meaning of the word "Art" and who doesn't have the tiniest amount of talent. He should be the sub art-director of a giveaway magazine".
