Thanks. The British Museum reduced them all to £1.99 on the last weekend of the exhibition...so I 'invested' in two   

£1.99 and no limit to how many you could buy if I recall, I felt a bit cheeky buying a tenners worth 😂

Last of the big spenders 
Had I have known how suitable they were to use as beermats (apart from the fading and staining) I would have invested in a few more.

I ended up framing all 5 together to make it look like a ‘thicker’ Peckham rock.

For me, the Peckham Rock bought for $3,575 wins the "most stupid paid" price ... closely followed by paying $7,800 for the Di-Face Tenner !!!

I will contact these auction winners
I still have a bridge to sell that goes from Brooklyn to NYC

[laughn0w]

This auction was a bit all over the place - which in hindsight is not that surprising.

All has been said about the prices paid for the shoes, Peckham rock, mural greeting card etc. Say what you want about it but the Laz connection/provenance works.

Other things that stood out for me:
- 2 GWB prints sold for $104k and 52k respectively in the same auction. Same print, double the price paid for the one with the POW stamp.
- Prints in general sold for similar or higher prices than the respective unsigned print with PC COA in other recent auction.
- The stencils fetched fair prices imo.
- The sketches were undervalued imo. These rarely (ever?) come up for sale and most went for less than the prints. Together with the stencils they were by far the best part of the auction.
- Lot 145 - Damien Hirst purchase report has since had the photo of the actual item removed from the website…

Julien’s mostly sells sports and pop culture memorabilia so this auction likely opened the doors to a set of buyers who are new to the Banksy market and some of who might not even know what a PC COA is. Don’t think it’s a bad thing for the B market if more non traditional auction houses get involved. It will be interesting to see how these Laz prints do if/when they end up in any other auction one day. My guess is not great.

I thought this was was the best item in the auction:



It had a great story and all the additions including the placement of the banksy stamp on the middle finger made it really unique. Would have loved to purchase this from POW back in the day. But not from Laz.

The weirdest thing about this to me was the stuff that had nothing to do with banksy selling for more than some of the stuff he's actually written/drawn on. Eg: The Severnshed catalogue with someone's scribble on sold but the untouched one didn't. Now't so queer as folk I suppose.

[Man from Castle]

The most crazy lot in my opinion is this one...

Did anyone on here buy anything?

Not sure if anyone who has also has the balls to admit it! :-)

I wouldn't believe all those 'final' prices either. But that's maybe just me.

I think that there are only mugs or pigeons that bought something. Are they on this forum ? Why not. Or very fortunate ones bought sketches ( police car and the other black drawing ( a man I think ) were really cool )

🤣🤣😅 noooooo.
I bought the Rivington street flyer to go alongside my stencil.
I’d been after one for ages and the only one I have found for sale in that time is for £1.5k more than I got this one for, so I’m kinda ok with it.

Result 

[Red Lotus]

I'll stick my pigeon like head above the parapet.

I purchased the lot of photocopied sketches. I appreciate they don't have any real value (and I could have just printed some of his drawings from google myself) - but I've always admired B's sketches and plan on getting them all framed individually to stick in a few small spots around the place. Plus the slightly battered paper makes them more interesting.

These are quite nice. Wouldn’t want them on my wall for various reasons ( if I was able to buy them in the first place 😁) but I can see why one would. They are quite nice and tell a little story together.
