Bonhams Urban Art Auction 21st September, by johnnyh on Aug 31, 2011 19:58:56 GMT 1, yes looks reallygood some fantastic pieces and agree the estimates look low but who knows not the brightest time for sales.
there have been some nice bits on here that have not gone very quickly when a while ago they would have been snapped up.
May be a bit of realism for some things but can see a few of those pieces going high.

Bonhams Urban Art Auction 21st September, by Harveyn on Aug 31, 2011 20:20:17 GMT 1, Some cracking pieces in this auction. In fact one of the better auctions I have seen for quite some time.
The Banksy Girl With Red Balloon must be a bargain at the high estimate and the HMV Dog stencil on paper looks cheap also. Monkey Detonator is an absolute beauty.
Some cracking Shep pieces in there especially that Chinese Soldier canvas.

Bonhams Urban Art Auction 21st September, by stillborncrisps on Aug 31, 2011 20:38:59 GMT 1, Ooh... few interesting bits and bobs - most notably the #25 Precision Bombing piece, for the test sprays on the back, not in typical B colours either.
I think I can see a Heavy Weaponary (blue) and an upside down Schoolkids with guns (purple).
What's the one in green? (thought it was radar rat with all the circles, but it looks like there's a human foot, just right of centre)
And is there a Barcode in there too???

Bonhams Urban Art Auction 21st September, by lee3 on Aug 31, 2011 21:06:10 GMT 1, >>>The Banksy Girl With Red Balloon must be a bargain at the high estimate <<<
If you zoom in on that canvas, it's got a lot of cracks and looks like a bit of damage to the left: www.bonhams.com/eur/auction/18931/lot/77/
Possible that what appears to be a teaser actually reflects the condition to some degree. That said, it wouldn't disuade me from bidding if I were interested (I'm not) because restoration to the tune of ~2k GBP can repair 90% of that and more importantly, make certain that it never returns.

according to Bonhams, the bubblewrap marks cannot be restored

Bonhams Urban Art Auction 21st September, by Urban Cowboy on Aug 31, 2011 21:19:11 GMT 1, I like the look of the Matt Small and the Neate. One lot more affordable than the other.
Few friends of mine have pieces in there so hope it is a great auction.

Bonhams Urban Art Auction 21st September, by ilmambo on Aug 31, 2011 21:19:38 GMT 1, Lee - did you notice on the back of GWRB he's signed it with that mysterious cross? (actually looks like a kind of shorthand Union Jack coz it's slightly wider than it is tall)
same "cross" signature in the Lincoln piece on cardboard, that went on auction early this year.

Bonhams Urban Art Auction 21st September, by Harveyn on Aug 31, 2011 21:29:13 GMT 1, So the cracking can be restored but the bubble wrap marks cannot. Makes some sense I guess. This is not the first time I have come across artwork being damaged by bubble wrap. So if you do not have all you art on the walls do not store in bubble wrap, be warned.

alas it had nothing to do with it sitting in bubble wrap for ages - again according to bonhams, the canvas was bubbled wrapped while the paint was still a bit wet, so the marks have always been there.

I see.
But I do also know that artwork stored in bubble wrap can and does effect certain finishes. It can leave an impression on work that was produced years previously especially heavily varnished works.

Bonhams Urban Art Auction 21st September, by balibob on Sept 1, 2011 11:00:06 GMT 1, Very low estimates to get us all salivating and considering selling houses, wives, kids etc to get in on the bidding. Best line up I've seen in ages, and if lot 1 goes for only ยฃ5k I will probably shoot myself for not getting involved.
