Bonhams Prints and Multiples 27th June, by jluhiex on Jun 27, 2017 22:36:21 GMT 1, Really very disappointing results but then Bonham's print sale really isn't the place to put up post-war or Banksy prints anyway so I'm not exactly surprised. They did 0 marketing for the sale, and I know of a number of very serious dealers who didn't even receive a catalogue for the sale. Bonhams is really where to find deals as a buyer but never as a seller. I've purchased through Bonhams Los Angeles office and they were about 20-30% lower than other major auction houses. In fact I was following 2 auctions at the same exact time (Phillips Prints and Editions & Bonhams Prints and Multiples 4/28/17) where the exact same print sold for 25% less at Bonhams.

Agree, great place to hunt for bargains. That's where I bought my MINT (colour) Gangsta Rat (edition of 1) for a fraction of what I was expecting to pay ;-)

Considering its condition (which I confirmed here after having inspected it myself) I honestly think it wouldn't have fetched ยฃ20K if offered here !

Ok, so If as a seller you have good quality prints steer clear of Bonhams as you will get below market prices
Though
Bonhams is a good place to get rid of damaged prints as you'll get above market
