Santa Monica auction results, by jam on Jun 2, 2008 17:07:27 GMT 1, The second Banksy failed to sell... it didn't even receive an opening bid as the guidance was insanely high and the auctioneer didn't dome down below $165k. Silly auction to put the Banksy originals in anyhow, they should have been in Sothebys or Christies as they were much higher in value than the rest of the things at this sale.

I concur, though that Heavy Weaponry looks like it is on brown paper or cardboard with a crease down the middle which may present a problem for listing at the 2 big houses.

It was an average piece but it had solid provenance and a cool story behind it (I spoke at length with the owner about it). It was a local auction for them, so that was the explanation of why it was in such a poor sale... still a massive mistake and it would have done much better somewhere else.

Santa Monica auction results, by lee3 on Jun 2, 2008 19:45:22 GMT 1, I just recieved an email from the auction house stating that they do not post auction results. I've never heard of such a policy and find it more than a little strange. What good does that serve anyone and why as a potential buyer or seller would I even entertain doing business with a place with that policy? Transparency is one of the more important aspects to the growth of this market imo, and any prohibitive policy like that is a death wish from my point of view. I'm as amused as I am amzed.

Santa Monica auction results, by nombei on Jun 4, 2008 22:34:42 GMT 1, you aren't kidding about those Barry McGee's!
i've always wondered what happened to all of the pieces he did for this club in SF called the Justice League back in 97/98 or so. i remember them being better than the ones in that auction. hopefully someone was smart enough to grab them when that club changed ownership.
