At least Banksy now has an auction record in New York.

The thing I find interesting is that, given the results, the piece would likely have sold for more if it hadn't been defaced and just presented as the Hirst piece it originally was.

What is the going rate for a Hirst dots thing?

Awful song by the most over rated boy band in history... Bono's version can't have been as bad as the whining original
Good prices for the Banksy's though!

BONGO THINKS YOU SHOULD BE WARY OF ESTIMATES
BONGO IS CHEERED TO SEE THAT BONO IS INDEED ONCE AGAIN SUPPORTING THE CAUSE THAT IS CLOSEST TO HIS HEART.

No but the Michael Jackson piece at SG2006 was a collab with Tom Ormond who is part of Hirst's studio.

(red) auction live, by mose on Feb 15, 2008 14:33:35 GMT 1, I think you are missing the point, it was entered as a Banksy piece and not a Damien Hirst piece. Damien Hirst collectors wouldn't have bought it as it was not a Damien Hirst piece.
No, I don't believe I am missing any point. Sotheby's made sure to advertise that it was an actual Hirst piece that had been vandalized, going as far as to show pictures of Hirst's mark/sig. It was well known.
Besides, I think you are generalizing Hirst collectors a bit too much to think that there isn't some base crossover and that this piece wouldn't appeal to them. Hirst, like Murakami, has rather broad appeal worldwide, from new-rich hedge fund managers to rappers to folks like Eli Broad.
