Do you think the trend of auction houses mixing art with other items such as cars / memorabilia or in this case dresses and shoes work?

I think the issue is that people are looking to cash in on weaker images like your Grannies and Trollies and there simply isn't the demand to support recent prices. Stronger signed images seem to have done fine and are more likely to hold their value in my view.

Still waiting for Stop & Search to go up.

Bonhams has always been a place to buy not to sell IMHO, even though they are very generous in their condition reports. They seem to think that buyers will want to buy a £500 old movie photo and a £200k signed print in the same auction room which just highlights how off the pace they are.

Price wise it this auction followed that trend we have seen. However, the 3 Rats only did well against no history! Forum had signed Gangsta Rat recently and that went for £130k all done. I would be disappointed at the prices achieved today and well done the buyers.

LN was a record but following the trajectory of LIITA should have done better. GWB was average but poor from Pulp Fiction, Trolleys and Grin. Grannies had condition issues, which must be bad for them to be that clearly noted!

Donuts doing well reflected the infrequency and the only surprise was Stop and Search which like Grin should be £100k print all day long.

Gloom and doom? No but certainly a raised eyebrow. Signed v Unsigned may well be resetting a little, especially due to over supply of certain prints, which is no bad thing and it now looks pretty clear that we are going to get at best normal (20%) or sub normal gains going forward as the fall in the overall index demonstrates. No need to panic just sit and watch!

Always feel ungrateful with my decision to choose BME and flags when I could have bought other (did get choppers and LIITA too) but they are both great images. I have both framed whilst the other 2 are stored away!

BME was how it all started for me, flicking through esquire magazine I saw an article in this unknown graffiti artist with the only image being BME and thought that will look cool in my first home was which cost me 60k. I’ve still got the sales particulars from when we sold it 18 months later for 120k and there in the lounge is BME hanging on the wall. Almost as much as we paid for the house!

There are a few items a few ks lower than some other auctions (most notably the damaged Grannies and the Colour Trolleys), but these are record auction results for some including Choc Donuts and Stop & Search.

thought I best check my facts! Bought for 77k sold for 120k! Still got us off to a good start and now LIITA is worth more than that house potentially! My dad gave me the magazine, I’m sure he thinks he deserves a share of the profits!

Well it’s all subjective but historically in terms of value these have been cheaper prints and back end of last year they started closing the gap on other prints price wise, I think this was speculation as opposed to people genuinely buying these because they like them.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMM!!!!!!!!!!
Doh....

Well I think Brexit and travel restrictions have an impact.
A £100K print would quickly add £25K i taxes, fees and shipping for me. And there's no way for me to pick it up in person or see it in real life before bidding.

I'm danish, so don't know if that's relevant to me. If you have to bring up old times, then you could say that travel restrictions doesn't apply to vikings ... nor price tags.

As an aside from the. Banksy sales I thought 2 of the Peter Blake’s did well (100 sources & sergeant pepper) and Hirst’s Valium was the biggest price I’ve seen.
