so dope

Personally I am not getting that “Subject to availability” piece. £3-5m feels optimistic so the auction is going to be interesting.

All lots, and more than one Banksy original it looks like

Thanks for sharing. This is the type of auction that makes me wish I was wealthy.

Damn...some amazing pieces in this auction.

One of his weakest pieces now its out of context of The Bristol Museum show. It needs to be amongst a load of other genuine masters.

No it doesn't, its a statement on humanities rape of nature

It's not an auction, it's a private sale, so it's unlikely we'll know what these eventually sell for.  The LITA stencil at Sotheby's NYC next month will be the next important public barometer of value for these types of originals.

They are all Private Sale except the "Subject to Availability" which is in the June evening sale with a guide of £3-5m and it has a guaranteed bid on it. . Christies say they plan to add new bits as it progresses so will be interesting to see what gets added.

He's made stronger, better, funnier, cleverer statements.

Very punchy, considering it's a gift canvas outside of the main edition! Dedicated to "Steve" who would look good in a suit apparently...

I wonder how much Christie's would value one of these from the main edition? I think it was an edition of two, but some on here may know more on that.

I did not like it on pictures but, thanks to its surprisingly big format, it has an amazing wall presence irl

[nik2000]

Does anyone have an idea of roughly how much the rammellzee’s are?

The Stik on the right has already sold at £120k.
For the GWB diptych they are seeking offers above £2.4m

The Crow is being borrowed from a private collection. They are just testing the waters - if they get a good offer then they'll sell. If not, the collector will hang onto it. The market will eventually catch up. The whole Off the Wall exhibition is promo for the "Subject To Availability" auction in June.

Wasn’t someone here trying to sell the stik for a friend for 110k a few weeks ago?

Wow. Looks like a great exhibition. Thanks for the pictures.

It wouldn't surprise me if we see some large prices realised for banksy later this year. Asset prices more generally seem to have rebounded.

Looks like Christie’s added around 10 new pieces (lots) to this show recently, including a few new Banksy originals and also a couple nice canvases. Very nice pieces in this show. I wonder what the pricing for the new stuff is like? The stuff that was listed before was nice but not inexpensviley priced, I heard. Anyone check pricing on the new stuff yet?
