Banksy - Christies Post-War & Cont Art Day Auction 26.06.13, by kfroms on Jun 21, 2013 21:58:45 GMT 1, Went to the preview today - liked the "glory" on pics but looks somewhat 'cheap' in reality.
Also not sure why it is shown in the "behind the curtain" section.
The bomb hugger is boring.

Banksy - Christies Post-War & Cont Art Day Auction 26.06.13, by kfroms on Jun 26, 2013 18:30:15 GMT 1, Not surprised regarding the bomb hugger.
The Tauba Auerbach was fantastic in real life and had a very prominent position right next to the entrance of main gallery. Great result.

I think that was the problem with this lot. There was an assumption that it would go for more than £40k and people did not even engage with the process. I know at least two buyers who would in a heartbeat have paid £50k+. That's auctions for you and the problem with reserves set to draw people in. You win some you lose some. Whereas I think the "Glory" piece did better than I expected.
I would add that both results are still fairly strong in the general scheme of things.
