Would suggest people be a bit careful with this lot and Mary McCarthy

I bought a piece at the last auction they did and Mary gave me a condition report on it. She said in good nick and no marks etc. So I bought it.

Paid them

Took loads to actually get it off them as they were Mickey Mouse and my shipper could not collect for ages ( know some others had the same problem with Digard).

Anyway eventually got it sent and received. When it arrived the condition was no where near as promised with marks and chips to the paint etc.complained etc

Mary blamed the shipper......which was all good but actual photos proved it was not them. They did nothing about it Mary disowned it.

Terrible auction house to work with and would not trust anything Mary says again. If your there to view the pieces etc fine but if not and on the phone or net be very careful

[vinylcoholic]

Wow amazing selection

Crikey what a crappy deal that was J. Mary was ok when she was at Dreweatts, what happened Mary?.

Yes was really shocked Wiz as I had regular contact with Mary at Dreweatts one of the things that made me buy the piece was I believed her

very disappointed and not complaining about a nothing thing either it was pretty bad rather than something minute if you know what I mean

"Signed within image"... I guess means it's not signed. Just their name in the print!!
And why's in mounted on board?
Is this a paste-up that someone's stuck to card?

[Happy Shopper]

Same deal with Rude Copper.... "Signed with artist stamp", means it's not actually a signed one!

Well I did wonder about keeping quiet....but I've had some good leads from the forum and I was sure someone would post it at some point....


Guess I'm just a great guy :-)

[Harveyn]

I would love this Faile.

100 FAILE (Américain, canadien, fondé en 1999) Fear Made Him A Monster, 2005

Saying that I would be very careful after J's cautionary note.

[Deleted]

Some interesting prices and estimates.

There again it's France.

[chichi carter]

Wow. Some really nice originals in there. Really enjoyed going through that catalog but definitely won't be bidding. If only money was no object...

[sakyamuni]

Some nice stuff, but a lot of it is from 2013, looks like many are just looking for quick cash when they buy from galleries... not a good sign for street art

I've been out of the scene for a year or two. Has Hicks been producing work like that for a while now?

No, I think he introduced this style at his last exhibition and that's not that long ago.

[Dungle]

Interesting johnnyh thanks for the heads up.

I love the Ian Francis.

[Ruggs]

I think it's a shame Paul Insect has never done a screen print version of 'Fallen Friends'? Love that Logan Hicks 'Sinking' piece, Beejoir's 'LV Child' on cardboard and Banksy's 'Heavy Weaponry'.

[Collection 1]

Anyone knows where the Martha Cooper/JR/Bolin print was first released? I never heard about it.

[Black Apple Art]

Liking this piece and with PC

[Deleted]

Yes, I know a couple of others who like it as well.

[Phear Loathing]

$100,000 pieces of cardboard scare me a bit. Like the work, but man I hate cardboard.

I wish there were some Dran's there!
By the way, I did not know that Dran is not a member of DMV anymore.

To my knowledge nothing would prevent DRAN from re-joining his crew anytime he wants, my understanding was that it could (or not) be only temporary ;-) As for DRAN's artworks being rarely consigned at auction, there's a good reason for that : early collectors just stick with the beauties they own ! Hence every piece that has been auctioned up to now has only ever been a minor / not so appealing one...
