Bonhams โข Art Auctions โข London ๐ฌ๐ง, by darjeeling on Dec 22, 2007 18:17:47 GMT 1, I'm surprised by how many pieces from 2007 are being auctioned-off.
That monkey wall is rather nice and a few nice B originals but also a lot of banksy, murakami etc. prints that you can pick up on ebay or a number of galleries any day of the week. And what's with Murakami being "urban" art? I don't see it?
I'm surprised by how many pieces from 2007 are being auctioned-off. I'm not surprised. Folsk cashing in on the hype and greed for sure. Not surprising at all.

I'm a neate fan but thats not my favourite. I expect it'll do well though but be surprised if it goes as high as the last one at Sotherbys. I say 38k on the hammer. Place your bets.

To be honest It looks like I've just searched for Banksy stuff on ebay, thats the normal list sort of listings I get (apart from the originals of course) Interested to see the Micallef prints there considering they are going for peanuts on the bay at the moment.
I havn't seen a signed Turf war for a while, and lot 19 is a litle different.

Bonhams โข Art Auctions โข London ๐ฌ๐ง, by dotdot on Dec 23, 2007 19:50:42 GMT 1, interesting auction.
Bonhams do need to get a few facts about what they're auctioning
correct though.
We could start with when did the say AN was born - 1988 - think not.
Prov for street pieces ? interesting subject in itself.
As for the AN piece - I'm a fan - this is not imho a fine piece. I get the
message - too many people do not however like it. If they don't
like it not - myself included - well they'll never like it - regardless
of story etc .. blah blah.
The guy's got huge talent - this image however is not up there - its
down there.
Otherwise given how folks are worrying about the economy - well
this auction could prove everyone wrong / right - either way it'll be
interesting.

Yeah, I mean it looks like a very poorly curated show in a sense. A total mishmash of anything they could get their hands on that looks a bit weird all mixed together. With only a few rare Banksys mixed in. And Cyclops? No offense to the guy but isn't it a bit early to get this guy up to auction? And those Laz prints are quite a bit premature to be going up for auction in my opinion. Dface, Neate etc. don't have that much auction experience and if this auction doesn't go well it will reflect poorly on them. Which is ashame because it might not be them as much as the economy and a poor collection of work.
Personally I don't like this one bit. Instead of trying to get these artists integrated into the world of fine art I feel like they're being marginalized by showing and auctioning them seperately. And also used for a quick buck until perhaps the fad passes. They should be getting this stuff in front of contemporary collectors instead of marketing it to street collectors. Like preaching to the choir I think.
This is the same thing the Beautiful Losers faced couple years ago. They had and still do have a hard time breaking into the contemporary gallery/museum scene and being shown side by side with the more traditional contemporary artists. Too often they get labeled as outsider or folk art.

Good points made about this but it should be noted that Beautiful Losers was a not-for-profit
museum show while this is a money making auction. The more this auction is discussed, the more pessimistic about the outcome.
And I do agree with the others who have mentioned Cyclops definitely not being ready for auction. I have a feeling that if it wasn't him that put the work in himself then he cannot be too happy about being part of this...

But in his defence, it's an Urban Art Sale and he def is a street artist and gets more paint on walls than most of them, alot more than Murakami : )
But on a sader note, Luc recently had a tragedy in the family, Luc - if you read this, my thoughts are with you brother. Be strong, you're a good man.
Off for an xmas drink, have a great xmas eve everyone and be safe.

Yet Swoon too and she is not represented there, so did Basquiat...
My point was that he is young and him appearing in auction at that stage is somehow fairly unusual and could potentially be damaging for its carrier.
Invader was another example along the same line, yet his work failed to sell at the past Sothebys.
Happy Xmas to you all...

Right, I was referring more to the artists who part of that group show and in general they have a hard time being associated with anything but that group show and the label of being outsider art and shown anywhere but places associated with that kind of thing.
If this auction goes well for everything then great โ but it has potential not too. And somewhere on the Bonhams sight (which I can't find right now) it said they were looking for works to sell by this artist and that artist etc. for future street art auctions. And almost all of the artists listed were part of the small UK mainly stencil/political kind of thing. But where's Barry Mcgee, Phil Frost, Swoon, Kehinde Wiley, Andrew Schoulz, Parla, Mcginley, Supine, Neckface, Leines, Shepard Fairey, Chris Johanson etc. and all the Deitch artists and on and on.? I think they'd easily fit into "urban art." This is all a little too incestuous and closed up imo.

I have to say I think it's the worst thing he's ever done. It seems to have no meaning, no humour and looks really cheap. Maybe it was just a present he knocked up for someone?

Either way, how does Bonhams get away with auctioning off prints bought only a few months ago (D*FACE/Walker) I can understand a few banksy originals, but surely selling stuff this soon constitutes flipping. Then people get excited about it. I wish people would get that excited when someone puts a pop-tart on ebay for ยฃ1,500...

I don't get it sometimes, some might say this is because i am 5 years old, some might say its because i wear tights. Either way, how does Bonhams get away with auctioning off prints bought only a few months ago (D*FACE/Walker) I can understand a few banksy originals, but surely selling stuff this soon constitutes flipping. Then people get excited about it. I wish people would get that excited when someone puts a pop-tart on ebay for ยฃ1,500...
such is the world
