Depends what stuff they get in but its still good to see more Auctions Houses doing Urban Art ;D

[pezlow]

hmmm - an urban art sale outside an urban centre.

Nothing against Deweatte Neate, one of the nicest auction houses to deal with, but I'm not convinced...

[yapsey]

start to be convinced - i have word that there are going to be some seriously impressive pieces in this. some stuff that has never been seen before.

[welshboy]

POSTED THIS TWO DAYS AGO. Banksy .Mona Lisa with two Monkeys

[newmang]

This auction was just featured on the BBC Bristol news. Three privately owned, un-reproduced Banksy's including this canvas with a £300k estimate.

[scavos]

This is going to be very special indeed. Plenty of 'interesting' pieces coming out of the woodwork. yapsey's hit the nail on the head.

[skelly]

that canvas is amazing, one of the best I think that has been in auction for a while.

[alsbabar]

interesting that canvas it has been offered to 3 galleries for £395K

[newmang]

News item said the canvas was bought 9 years ago for £200 so a nice profit for someone.

[giiiant]

This bit caught my eye- "Significantly, the sale will showcase a number of newly executed works by names, such as Inkie, Mudwig, Graham Paris, Eco, Silent Hobo, Dr D, James Starr, Motorboy, Guy Denning, Cyclops, Adz, Flx, Awkward, Pinky and Rowdy"

Awesome. Correct me if I'm wrong but it looks like they're actually doing their own bit to help "the scene" rather than just making as much $$$ as possible by going for only the most profitable artists.

[trowel]

The auction house chap was good to mention that the presence of Banksy and Walker would likely bump up the prices for the lesser known artists

This was also featured - a personal gift I believe they said - and a err... Colour Trolleys...

[newmang]

The guy that was interviewed talking about the big names pushing up the prices for the lesser atists was from Guerrilla Galleries in Bristol. www.guerrillagalleries.com/

[s-editions]

As well as dr.d (who has an Artist's Proof of her 'H.M.P. London' street piece in the sale plus 5 original one-off works) there are also works by Goldie, including a hand-altered AP of his 'Pump Doll' screenprint on alumimium and a pair of altered canvases. Images will be posted soon at www.dnfa.com/urbanart.asp .

By the way, we still have a few 'H.M.P. London' railing boards left from the edition of 10 (and at £250 each we are selling them are cheaper than the auction estimate, 'cos we like you). You can find them at www.s-editions.co.uk. They are tagged, dated and numbered, although if you want to make a few quid for the guy who took one from the street you could buy the untagged, undated, unnumbered one on eBay (number 330220636286).

All the best,
s-editions

[griffermans]

Cheers for the info.

Just bagged a HMP. What's the estimate at the auction?

[s-editions]

Unfortunately we are not allowed to tell you that until the catalogue is published, but ones removed from the street have sold on eBay for over £370.

The boards we have on offer are actually nicer than the one in the auction, since they have been hand finished, collaged and mounted to railing boards by dr.d. The auction piece is an AP of the street poster and, although still a great piece, is not quite as special.

All the best,

An amazing collection of art they've put together, should be a great night:

www.dnfa.com/auctions.asp?view=saledetails&aucno=12977&avail=1

Check it out...

[funster]

Thats a wide mix of art, from cheap prints to Banksy originals. Will be an interesting one to watch.

[funster]

Not sure if I'd want to spend £200k on a Banksy with this report: "Craquelure throughout, Shrinkage to paint, areas of minor lifting, possible new paint to artists canvas, may benefit from a clean and possible restoration to cracks" Mmm...

[hlarmy]

The reserves seem a touch high for quite a lot of the items (starting with Lot 1 for example).

Personally I'm not sure I'd put Adam Neate gallery pieces in this auction (if I had one that is!), especially given there are two of them.

Should be a great night for the 'smaller' artists like our very own SPQR (good luck Matt, some great work there)...

they are estimates, the reserves arent listed and are confidential. though i agree, many estimates seem high but what do i know? i thought auction houses low-balled prices to bring in the suckers. To me the sucker is the one who pays over 1k GBP for a single AM AB

[manchestermike]

;D

Disregarding the two spelling mistakes... this condition report is an interesting one for £25-35k!!
