Wow, so this has had the bottles in the background, red spray paint and reflective tile added after Fairey completed it... where was this kept since 2002, a play centre?

What tax rate are you charged on bringing art auction items into uk? It's lower than 20% right?
I wish I was able to attend this auction...seriously thought this Auction might set a new bench mark in Banksy prices...

Sellers with tails between their legs , especially the canvass .. Poor results but only to be expected in the context of things.. Life and death on the east coast probably more important than an urban art auction funny enough!

How much is a comission at Bonhams for a Banksy print?

True IMO, although their backers and the Gallery owners still have their interests / investments to protect.

Agreed, I'm quite surprised by the amount of pieces unsold - I thought the estimates were quite reasonable. Not a good start for the Urban Art Auctions in the US.

My little boy was a total nightmare last night which totally scuppered my chances of having a dabble, bit gutted as a few pieces I was tempted on passed. Oh well, maybe there's gonna be some more opportunities to pick things up at reasonable cost after those results!!

Bonhams β’ Art Auctions β’ London π¬π§, by covertshadowops on Oct 30, 2012 11:24:31 GMT 1, HAHAHA.... what a mess up.
taken from Bonhams website news...
"Los Angeles β Bonhams is set to take L.A. by storm with an outstanding selection of street art at the inaugural US Urban Art sale on 29th October."
Urban Art specialist, Gareth Williams, who first launched the highly successful format in London, comments, "We are bringing the sale to Los Angeles because of the huge level of interest we have received from Californian collectors."
New York took the storm.  Bonhams got the shit. having an auction time of 6pm, really didn't allow live european bidders any chance.

Bonhams β’ Art Auctions β’ London π¬π§, by johnnyh on Oct 30, 2012 13:24:19 GMT 1, It also could be a bit of a Bonhams turf war. If you notice all the press seems about the London office so could be regarded as a London show at the LA office so may be they did not get as much support as expected and possibly did not endear themselves to the LA office.
Not many US pieces in the show which tends to imply that the US LA and surrounding galleries did not input into the show and also hence did not really attend the show in the numbers really required .....did they get much marketing for the show. Eg If the profit goes to London did the LA team want to put a lot of effort in when they have their own projects etc.
East coast as mentioned down. Not norm for Europeans especially Brits to buy Brit Urban and ship back to UK. Timing also off for Europe. Not great timing for Asia also.
I bought a piece at their last Urban Sale in the UK and have an account with them but recieved no mailers on this event which I thought was poor so seems to be a marketing issue rather than a Urban Street market poor performance.
Shame for the sellers considering the fees they charge should expect more. Seemed that pieces that were specifically targeted did well but other pieces went unsold as they buyers were not their either in person or online. the last bit of the auction that I saw and some cracking pieces seemed to have almost only two poss three bidders and in certain cases none which was a bit shocking. Wish I had got on earlier as some lovely pieces in the sale

Shoddy set up from a rank amateur auction house.

Did they had an agreement for a first show in US, not including US artists? Weird strategy.
