Banksy @ Sothebys Think Tank, by Paul on Jun 19, 2006 19:31:42 GMT 1, i was at the auction today, they all went for way too much, the think tank piece for ยฃ18, Weston Super Mare (no saw in the painting) was about 9k i think and riot cop was about ยฃ15k. all way overpriced. i bit up to ยฃ10 on a couple, but having seen the bottom fall out of the yba thing in the last year (hirst / emin / hume), i wasnt going to be aquiring for an investment.
there where some amazing pieces though, i purchased a couple of great pieces.
jenny saville and sarak lucas where the definate highlights.
damien hirsts not making reserve made me smile

Banksy @ Sothebys Think Tank, by alan6012 on Jun 19, 2006 22:01:22 GMT 1, Compared to the prices @ lazinc I think they were good prices. The think tank is an iconic image and can only go up in value in the long term.
matilda whats the other forum?

Banksy @ Sothebys Think Tank, by alan6012 on Jun 20, 2006 2:46:43 GMT 1, thanks matilda just joined up.
Yeah I agree - I actually think these prices where a steal. To us Banksys have rocketed in price but his work is still in its infancy. And everytime I go into a bookshop you are guarenteed to see someone flicking through his book lol I dont think you will actually see the through worth for another 5 - 10 years.

Banksy @ Sothebys Think Tank, by fruitymetcalf on Jul 3, 2006 3:09:54 GMT 1, How can you say it's a bargain? It's only half a painting, it's pointless and has been ruined by the recent addition (and not by banksy) of a tag. Even if the two canvases are reunited they'll look wrong both being tagged.

Banksy @ Sothebys Think Tank, by heavyweaponry on Jul 5, 2006 7:12:08 GMT 1, I thought beauty was in the eye of the beholder?
For me, it's very poignant. I actually prefer it without the saw - it's a little more grown up!
