Bonhams โข Art Auctions โข London ๐ฌ๐ง, by irl1 on Feb 24, 2019 16:40:31 GMT 1, What kind of event can happen during the sale of a grappling hook? It can't exactly shred itself or suddenly burst in to flames. Noting. It could be the seller trying to hype up the auction

Bonhams โข Art Auctions โข London ๐ฌ๐ง, by irl1 on Feb 24, 2019 16:42:57 GMT 1, I have professionally worked with Bonhams many many times. I would never put anything up for auction with them as I've seen their storage and handling facilities and in my eyes are not up to par. Weird that this is being sold through them as I'm sure other avenues hold a better clientele and grouping for this piece. The seller must be new to auctions. This would be the last place i would put it in
He would have a better chance on here, hope i'm wrong for the sellers sake

I don't know, i'd agree the Phillips March sale is strong and Sotheby's get good numbers but this Bonhams sale after research had very good returns last year. And there are some strong lots too. Given the catalogue presentation online, I have to say I reckon this could attract some old school collectors with deep pockets. My guess is this will fly high, will be hard to judge how the proceeding sales this year go. It's such an unpredictable market. All about timing and right sale.

I heard that......
Jesus' eyes will light up
and if you look closely there is a little jet pack built into the 3 hooks so it off it takes off like a kite with the rope trailing behind...flies around the auctioneer wrapping the rope around his neck, then hooks itself on the ceiling joists and starts drawing up the rope
Now that's what i call entertainment on a Thursday evening

I'd totally watch that directors cut

I also was lucky to get the chance to buy a Grappling Hook and recently got it appraised by Phillips and Sothebys. Neither seemed to have much insight on the piece. Phillips gave a 6 to 8k gbp estimate (LOL) and Sotheby's 30k-50k gbp.

Phillips gave a 6 to 8k gbp estimate (LOL) and Sotheby's 30k-50k gbp. The 6-8k estimate was for sure a bad call from Phillips but what I meant was the upcoming Phillips auction has some great work for sale. I think the estimate they gave me was an oversight and that I just ended up in the wrong Phillips specialist inbox.
Curious though, as a seller you are wanting a good commission and to be part of a great selection of work with a good reach.
The Bonhams sale posted is seen by many as a possibly weak idea it appears so where is considered significantly better since I probably will sell in the next year or two??
Neither Phillips or Sotheby's were very responsive on contact.... Christies results are a little all over the map too.
Looking at past results for all of the major auction houses with small editions and og's the results do not seem significantly better from one house to the next. Prints perhaps are stronger at Phillips / Sothebys but from what I can see not exclusively with all the rarer work...Love Is In The Bin (Sothebys) aside - as that price made little sense.

They alledged that some items put into auction were never bid on by the public and that Bonhams staff bid on the items themselves and bought them at the low reserves before the doors opened to the public.

Does not make a lot of sense if it's an open floor physical auction as the auctioneer is on the floor with all auction attendees taking bids. If they were to publish in the auction catalogue for a floor auction, how would they stop clients attending the auction and not bidding? It would make for outrageous fraud, hard to believe true with a a top tier auction house running a published floor auction?

I'm sure Sotheby's have a great conditions department however, Bonhams are still a major, very well regarded UK auction house who have commanded numerous record Banksy results which for sure have featured 'high roller' bidders. Serious collectors do not tend to discriminate if they really want a piece of work. I'm certain this thread subject auction is going to go high, my guess over 300k gbp as they have marketed to a lot of serious art world players that I know of.

They also auction works in excellent condition. I am simply making an educated comparison based off of the resources I have seen put in place to both condition and store items of varied mediums. My comments were intended to lend a perspective that is truthful by my accounts of dealing with both auction houses. And I agree with you, they are not out to make a quick buck - they are established and have a long, historic foothold in the auctioneer world. Lastly, my statements come solely from working with California branches of both Bonhams and Sotheby's, which to be fair shouldn't be spread to their business practices around the globe.

Bonhams โข Art Auctions โข London ๐ฌ๐ง, by juveniled on Mar 3, 2019 12:24:46 GMT 1, Artcurial are interesting (thanks for sharing!) although if I auctioned an OG or low edition piece I think i'd feel safer at one of the 4 big major auction houses? 616k euro is though a great price for a stencil on cardboard.
Basically this Crucifix piece has 4x stencils on cardboard plus the sculpture so it will be very interesting to watch what happens at this Bonhams sale. I'm guessing this will be very competitive. Hoping they do a live stream of the auction, is that standard at the big auctions does anyone know?

Bonhams โข Art Auctions โข London ๐ฌ๐ง, by irl1 on Mar 3, 2019 13:24:08 GMT 1, Artcurial are interesting (thanks for sharing!) although if I auctioned an OG or low edition piece I think i'd feel safer at one of the 4 big major auction houses? 616k euro is though a great price for a stencil on cardboard. Basically this Crucifix piece has 4x stencils on cardboard plus the sculpture so it will be very interesting to watch what happens at this Bonhams sale. I'm guessing this will be very competitive. Hoping they do a live stream of the auction, is that standard at the big auctions does anyone know? Register with Bonhams. They use invaluable but i don't see this auction

Bonhams โข Art Auctions โข London ๐ฌ๐ง, by irl1 on Mar 5, 2019 12:39:15 GMT 1, Large impressive sculpture with 4 meter thick rope and 4 hand painted stencils - should do over ยฃ250k, but it probably won't as it's the first one! You could be right, the box is probably worth the 100k on its own.
If they get the right two bidders it should do 200+ but then its not very wall friendly.
It would make a cool swing for the kids

Lets sweepstake it
I dont think it will hit low estimate as i have zero faith in Bonhams.
Come on Bonhams show me how wrong i am
My guesstimate Sub 70k
