Yup.

Laz with past connection to Banksy / Sothebys with connection to loadsamoney client base.

Clears the attics anyhow.
imo.

There again, you never know.

Banksy was there incognito only just last week.

The Mayfair event will mark another move closer to the establishment for the Bristol-born artist, who has always had an ambivalent, and sometimes rancorous, relationship with the upper end of the art market. In 2007, after huge auction prices were achieved for some of his works at Sotheby's, Banksy released the limited-edition print "Morons," showing a tuxedo-clad auctioneer taking bids for a painting. Sotheby's will be offering a version of the print in their S|2 show, priced at around 9,000 pounds, about $15,000. Banksy's paintings will be valued at several hundred thousands of pounds, the consultant said.

Here it was Andy, its probably gone up now though!.

A barrow with a pile of canvases? A "stop me and buy one" van?

Tom Baxter will probably try to buy the walls surrounding the artwork.

(Allegedly)

It will be very interesting to see how many people this show will attract. It's a real pull for Sotherbys and will be a real insight into the Banksy market current and future. Will be interesting to see how much of Sotherbys traditional customer base visit the show.

Whether he is involved or not this could certainly end up as a very significant show in terms of his status in the "Art World"

Describing Wiz are you?

read this in the guardian

The two men parted company years ago, and the exhibition – in Sotheby's recently opened selling gallery, across the road from the auction rooms – is billed as "the Unauthorised Retrospective". "I emailed his people, they know. Not pleased," Lazarides said. Banksy will, however, profit from the show, under the artist's resale rights provision that gives him from 4% of the price of each work up to a cap of about £9,000.

We all know Laz is not cheap so if the prices are fixed they will be top end....very top end.

what board is that?

The turf war does'nt sound too high considering its about 8ftx8ft.
That CWSB looks good for you mouser

Dont think thats the same piece motor and 2008 prices are pretty irrelevant to 2014 prices, not saying its a bargain but compared to kissing coppers its not insane

i wonder what the actual dimensions are of the turf war, that thing is truly massive and i agree 600 seems reasonable relatively speaking.

Thanks for that link. Nice to look through.

All about the money.

Its the way it goes.

Get it while you can.
