[stevec]

guessing Robbie must be down to his last $100m if he's willing to let these go?

Those estimates seem low. The kissing coppers would be the pick for me! I say £10Million for that. Won’t be bidding myself!

The three paintings will first go on exhibition in Sotheby's New York galleries from January 22 for a six-day preview.

They will then embark on a global tour to Hong Kong from February 8 to 9 and then London for its final public view from February 22 until March 2.

Let Me Entertain You indeed.

Will the fact they belong to the ‘fat dancer’ from Take That devalue them?

Cuz the market is tanking and Banksy doesn't seem to do the right thing to stop it. So it's the right move by robbie

Tanking?

If You were him and also concerned, what 'right thing' would You do to stop it


I think it bubbled and is settling back

[Georgie Poppit]

Original pieces definitely aren't tanking, especially the good ones

Fat rich dancer…

Maybe Jimmy Page gave him permission to excavate and has raise some funds?

[Daniel Silk]

Good time for him to sell and buy something new.
I’m sure he could buy some really impressive pieces with the cash generated from this sale.

Welp, got me there 🥲

am curious on the GWB coming with a COA from PC. It this because it's not a street piece? I assume so given an edition of 5.

Yes these were an edition and for sale when Laz was on Greek Street. £15k

I remember a couple of Vandalised oils in Tom Tom for £10k, I left my crystal ball at home that day and came away with a desk !

I don’t think he’s getting divorced. The press articles say he’s starting a new art project and investing in new artists.

The question of divorce though reminded me of this great piece Banksy gifted to Dennis hopper:

Screenprint or canvas version of Queen Vic?

Canvas.

Photo makes it look portrait but it's square.

Looking at the tanking market (and I'm not speaking of the hyped stable thing) Id say if they sell good then it's BECAUSE the "fat dancer" of Take that owned them.

In every post you’ve written on this forum you are talking down Banksy/prices/works etc...nothing but negativity. Not sure what your agenda is..? Any other artists you like or just a B hater?

Does anyone know why Kissing coppers got pulled from the Sotheby's auction that just ended?
