Bonhams โข Art Auctions โข London ๐ฌ๐ง, by sfnyc on Dec 20, 2018 1:41:07 GMT 1, It is a fact that your opinion is worthless. That's your opinion, and yet you still add zero value to the discussion
You don't seem to much understand the difference between a fact and an opinion. Insult wise (since that's as far as you seem capable of contributing) have you got anything better? because even these are pretty weak tbh...

Must be - itโs got hand sprayed stencils and is most definitely connected to the piece found inside - in some ways I think the box is more valuable!

Bonhams โข Art Auctions โข London ๐ฌ๐ง, by eschiff on Feb 19, 2019 10:19:48 GMT 1, I believe the guy ended up buying the grappling hook (as did I). As an owner, I'm curious to see where this lands, was also wondering whether the first to come up to auction would be sold with or without the box. I had thoughts of cutting up the box and framing the panels, wonder what that would do to the value of the hook - is the box now a part of the art?
I was on the fence at the time, it was a lot of money for me and quite a stretch - back then I figured if worse came to worst then I thought I'd at least be able to sell it for cost - looks like it may be quite a few multiples of that.

Bonhams โข Art Auctions โข London ๐ฌ๐ง, by JW on Feb 19, 2019 10:49:11 GMT 1, For sure, the box is part of the overall art piece. Thatโs why it has the stencils done in the way they are, Jesus on the cross, fragile ideology, turn water into wine, Star of David and all that! Itโs actually quite a piece, you are lucky to have had the opportunity to buy it! I think you'll find the original question was tongue in cheek - referencing the recent Pejac "Love Letter" box debate.
This absolutely forms part of the overall art piece.

Bonhams โข Art Auctions โข London ๐ฌ๐ง, by silvermyn on Feb 19, 2019 11:58:47 GMT 1, i have a feeling this will go for a big number If this doesn't reach multiples of the low estimate, I'm sure that people on here will not hesitate to start slating Bonhams. However, a large grappling hook with rope isn't a very practical piece to display in a collection and (let's face it) a cardboard box is still a cardboard box when it comes to finding a space for it.
To top it all it's an image of the emaciated Jesus on a cross which isn't what most of today's generation of collectors want. This is one of the reasons Christ With Shopping Bags doesn't hit levels it should do IMHO.
Should two people really want it then the sky is the limit. Will it be Bonham's fault if it doesn't reach outlandish expectations...? For the money, I'm sure that most people would be holding out for an editioned canvas.

I don't know much about the auction world and when is a good time to list or with which auction house. You very well could be right.
A few people brought up your point on the thread where the guy was deciding to buy it or not. I'd say that finding space for a grappling hook is much easier than a massive canvas (not to mention it comes with the installation hook to make it easy to put on a wall).
I'd also add that while you're right, it is an emaciated jesus, that's surely just a superficial reading of the piece. It's easy to dismiss a piece of art that way (GWB is just a girl...with a balloon, any of the placard rats are just rats...holding a placard), not much depth to looking at it that way. And I would think that anyone that sees this piece as just an emaciated Jesus may not be the target market for most Banksy pieces.

No amount of depth can explain Sotherby's result for the GWB canvas last year (pre-shedding of course). Post shredding and you've got some depth issues to consider

Bonhams is not the place to put this kind if stuff and if You look through the actual auction and compare it to Phillips thats on the day after its incomparable.
Then add in the mailings out and customer base.
As we all pretty much know Bonhams is the cheapest place to buy Banksy prints.
Why someone would put this in Bonhams is playing with my mind a little. I just dont get it ๐
I get your point on a canvas and agree. This is a lot more Niche. All the more reason to place it in the right auction with the right auction company

To be fair to them they do hold the record for a Banksy editioned canvas, unless I've overlooked a sale or two elsewhere. Nearly ยฃ350k with buyer's premium for an edition of 25.
www.bonhams.com/auctions/24744/lot/44/
Agreed that prints don't do as well as they seem to do elsewhere but give them some credit...
If this doesn't reach multiples of the low estimate, I'm sure that people on here will not hesitate to start slating Bonhams. However, a large grappling hook with rope isn't a very practical piece to display in a collection and (let's face it) a cardboard box is still a cardboard box when it comes to finding a space for it. To top it all it's an image of the emaciated Jesus on a cross which isn't what most of today's generation of collectors want. This is one of the reasons Christ With Shopping Bags doesn't hit levels it should do IMHO. Should two people really want it then the sky is the limit. Will it be Bonham's fault if it doesn't reach outlandish expectations...? For the money, I'm sure that most people would be holding out for an editioned canvas. Bonhams is not the place to put this kind if stuff and if You look through the actual auction and compare it to Phillips thats on the day after its incomparable. Then add in the mailings out and customer base. As we all pretty much know Bonhams is the cheapest place to buy Banksy prints. Why someone would put this in Bonhams is playing with my mind a little. I just dont get it ๐ I get your point on a canvas and agree. This is a lot more Niche. All the more reason to place it in the right auction with the right auction company Poor Bonhams!
To be fair to them they do hold the record for a Banksy editioned canvas, unless I've overlooked a sale or two elsewhere. Nearly ยฃ350k with buyer's premium for an edition of 25.

If you owned this and wanted to get the best return on it. Would you have put it in this auction house or one of the others? If one of the others which one?
