My personal favorite was the Guy Denning canvas which is the best piece I've ever seen from him.

I think the estimates are high on things, and with Laz seemingly not buying any Banksy right now I think that there wont be him and probably not Andipa either to support the prices - I expect it to be as bad as tonight's sale, unless the owners accept much less than they originally wanted for things, my guess would be 50% below estimate.

then they def succeeded and broke all records to date!
Like the elbow toe and thats one of my favourite Listers. Not the biggest Bast fan but that one is real nice. Saw it before at leonard street unframed a while back. At least I think it's the same one.

Bonhams โข Art Auctions โข London ๐ฌ๐ง, by hlarmy on Oct 22, 2008 20:11:59 GMT 1, Personally I was hugely impressed; an awesome line up with some very special pieces. I was slightly surprised at how many quality Banksy's were in the sale which, at the current time, can't really be a good thing, but will make for a very interesting auction.
Having looked at the catalogue many times in recent weeks, I was amazed at the size and quality of many of the works, and especially the Tesco Soup can

I had a similar experience with Dreweatts. I laugh now when I see some of the crumbs they served up.

Ughh so depressing. In what way do you mean it looked "Crap"? was it the art or do you mean the evening / place looked empty?

Bonhams โข Art Auctions โข London ๐ฌ๐ง, by Pattycakes on Oct 22, 2008 21:43:20 GMT 1, I went to the late evening view on Monday, skipped the party last night and went to Sims Reed instead my Mrs. likes flowers! The hang is really shoddy at bonham's, with all that space, why did they cram the urban sale into that tiny room and give up the main room for the terrible Vision 21 Evening sale? Am I loving Bonham's no not really.

Bonhams โข Art Auctions โข London ๐ฌ๐ง, by Cocteau 101 on Oct 22, 2008 21:48:48 GMT 1, The hanging looks piss poor but there are some cracking pieces in this auction, by far the strongest to date. If this doesn't go well if you are interested in the money side it's time to pack it in. I'd be happy to own nearly 95% of this auction, it's got a great mix. Bizarrely, I agree with someone before who said the Parla looks out of place. IMO it looks a bit refined stylistically amongst the vast majority of stuff here. I think Parla works best in isolation / among his own stuff.
I really hope this does well and the Micallef Girl With Baloons is a real gem I'd buy that without question.
