It was an exciting finale to the Auction tonight. The bidding for Banksy's Essex Road started at 35k but Laz quickly came in with a bid of 100k. Bidding continued between Laz and the guy next to him to 160k then the guy I was with (Who I cant name) bid the piece up to 190k and the guy on the phone put a final bid in of 195k which won the painting to a round of applause.
Quite an exciting few minutes

banksy in bed with Ken Livingstone, by Pure Evil on Mar 7, 2008 1:36:41 GMT 1, Boris is an out of touch conservative twit... If he is the option besides Ken ? There is no option.
My grandfather died underground in a coal mine in Wales crushed by a piece of machinery. He was buried before he was even dead. Later on, Maggie Thatchers government came in and destroyed the coal mining industry.
When the poll tax riots happened I was there in Trafalgar square. I sat on top of a telephone box and watched class war kick off in the capitol. It was mayhem. Shortly after I left the country and went to live in California for ten years because it seemed like there was no place for art in the UK. Well thats changed hasn't it.
Margaret Thatcher was a total tw*t and she had bad hair, and I would say the same for Boris Johnson.

banksy in bed with Ken Livingstone, by melfeasance on Mar 7, 2008 4:12:19 GMT 1, Guardian: Art sale gives Livingstone ยฃ230,000 boost
www.guardian.co.uk/politics/2008/mar/07/politicsandthearts.livingstone
Ken Livingstone's campaign for re-election as mayor of London received a shot in the arm last night, when an art auction raised ยฃ230,000 in support of his candidacy in just over an hour.
The sale featured 38 works by artists including Anthony Gormley, Marc Quinn, Banksy, Mona Hatoum and Ralph Steadman, and in all it brought in nearly a quarter of the total amount each candidate is permitted to spend on campaigning.
Speaking after the auction at the Aquarium gallery in Islington, Livingstone said the event had yielded more than any fund-raising event so far, enabling him to match the sums already raised by his Conservative rival, Boris Johnson.
"We are allowed to spend up to ยฃ1m on campaigning. We know that Boris has got a quarter of a million or more, and now we've caught up with him. It's going to be a much fairer fight now."
Most of the money came from a single canvas by the graffiti artist Banksy, which sold to an anonymous bidder for ยฃ195,000. The painting shows two children pledging allegiance to a Tesco shopping bag, and is a preliminary sketch for a life-size graffito which appeared on Wednesday on the wall of an Islington pharmacy.
Livingstone himself bought a print of a Steadman cartoon for a ยฃ140. He said: "The art world is very in touch with what happens in London. They recognise that if Boris gets in, society would collapse back into barbarism."
A spokeswoman for Rootball, which organised the event, said: "The artists here do not consider themselves political artists, but they do want to affect the political process and support progressive policies for the capital."

banksy in bed with Ken Livingstone, by angryboy on Mar 7, 2008 11:07:45 GMT 1, BBC news were at the Banksy print on Essex Road last night. They had an 'urban art expert' with them who was talking about though it had all the hallmarks of a Banksy piece no one would ever know for sure. seemed a bit of a strange comment from an "expert" considering the canvas was at auction just up the road.
If we're making links between Boris and Maggie then shouldn't we really be making links between Ken and the stop & search policies of New Labour too?
