Sotheby's Banksy Rat, by lee3 on Jan 20, 2012 18:24:59 GMT 1, Much nicer (to my eyes) Fetish lady over at Christie's day sale, which is not to suggest I don't adore that rat. Some incredible examples of Yves Klein, Fontana, Rotella, Freud, Bacon and Wesselmann on offer this go around with a surprising lack of Warhol (outside of the pink fright wig).

Sotheby's Banksy Rat, by iamzero on Jan 20, 2012 19:03:04 GMT 1, No way that is going for the guide price if the last one fetched around ยฃ175k and the one before that was something like ยฃ130k?
I have a great picture of me holding one of these bad boys and can honestly say if I had that much money to dispose of I would want to own one of these without question. Bring on the lottery numbers please.

You're probably right as their job is to solicit interest and push that thing higher and I can't recall the last time something of his sold within an estimate range. Still, the high estimate is 200k sterling and that's a lot of coin for a 6 year old painting.
I am keeping a watchful eye on this piece below as I have a lot of respect for the brief period we call fauvism and its effect on contemporary art today. This is back when artists began painting trees purple and skies green and really toying with the elements of a composition. Way out of my league collection wise but I can at least admire and appreciate the work itself. The seller grabbed this just 3 years ago during the February '09 auctions when the world was coming to an end for a tad under 2MM GBP. They are looking to triple serious money in 3 years while (probably) laughing off any criticism of a flip. Meanwhile, the person who bought it in '08 and sold/flipped it in '09 was left with a loss exceeding 1MM GBP/nearly $3MM US. Timing is everything I suppose
