Mary McCarthy, Director of Urban and Contemporary Art at Dreweatts, comments:

“This is the final ever Dreweatts Urban Art sale so we are really going out with a bang.”

Final

It's Mary's last ever, as she is leaving, not sure if it will be Dreweatts last ever

[manty]

Does mary run the urban thing?

If so it could be cutbacks, Auction houses are cutting departments that are not performing.

Got a pal in a large auction house going through this kinda pressure

Shame

Lot 51 - Bast Chanel Girl Canvas
Provenance: Hang Up Pictures.

[nacional]

Didn't realise a Charming Baker print (lot 19 was so valuable!!

Never seen the Dface Michael Jackson before, really like it...the Dface Pope one is going for under cost...I remember being offered it from source years ago for more than this estimate...and I don't think Dface's will go above estimate at the moment...don't know why...his career seems to be flying well...

Can anybody enlighten me, has it always been the case that you have to pay royalty on Banksy pieces at auction?

"Droit de suite" royalty charges at 4% on items over 1000euros


Buyer's premium on this auction is 28.8%....

My understanding is that the law was changed at the start of the year and droit de suite now applies to all art work sold for more than €1k where the artist is either alive or has died in the last 75 years. That's probably a slight over simplification of the law but, yep, it'll now apply to pretty much all of Banksy's work now.

Check out lot 2 at Dreweatts sale, i missed out bidding on one of these at 2k on ebay, seems really cheap at £600, defo up for this one... webpix.dnfa.com/pdf-catalogues/20556.pdf

[john1539]

I am also very curious to know the results for the two CYW

[Argiebaji]

So add around a third extra for commission and droit altogether. Am i right? So 1k = 1.33k for the buyer?

[primetime]

how did it look in person at the preview?
