Question: Banksy at Forum or Philips? Does it matter?, by milou2 on Jan 24, 2018 8:14:32 GMT 1, Morning .... I'm (reluctantly) having to part with a couple of pieces (HW canvas and Watchtower) and have been offered attractive deals by both Forum Auctions and Philips. The deals are almost identical, and they both seem very keen. Question is: does it matter which one I opt to go with? I suspect Forum has most records set for Banksy (and hence my slight preference for them), but Philips appear to have a strong marketing arm.
It's a "first-world problem", I know ... either will probably be fine, just wondering what your intuitions were?

Question: Banksy at Forum or Philips? Does it matter?, by Pattycakes on Jan 24, 2018 11:57:17 GMT 1, I'd go Forum they are dedicated Banksy specialist house and have know the best collectors hands down, everything I've sold has been a record price. Don't get me wrong I sell through Phillips too, but with Banksy not a chance.

There are a few Banksy prints at Philips tomorrow, it would be interesting to see what they go for.
