Sotheby's London Banksy auction 13th Mar-26th March, by Fast Eddie on Mar 10, 2020 23:22:06 GMT 1, I guess soon we'll see whether Banksy's prints can hold the weight of a global flight to quality or not.
Add to this also the Bbay entry, which I think it is coming online this Spring.

Add to this also the Bbay entry, which I think it is coming online this Spring. Been speaking to a couple of auctioneers and they’ve had more conditions report requests and early bids for the upcoming auctions than they can remember. I expect all the coming auctions to do well assuming they proceed that is.

May someone, more knowledgeable then me, elaborate on the statement on those defaced tenner? This is the only LOT with this statement, as far as I can see. All are with COA (Maybe except for LN, Where COA will be delivered in due time...)

There's a bit of an anomaly when it comes to auctions. They are necessarily anonymous for the seller (they originate from a time when an estate selling their wares was a mark of shame), however ownership does matter. A lot from an 'important' collection (say a musuem, or Saatchi) will command a premium over an identical lot without that 'brand'.
So this tips you the hat that the provenance is aok and the former owner is someone worth boasting about.
All a bit needless, but can be helpful for items where provenance is sometimes a question mark

Hi mate, if it comes from a well known collection it can add value so if there has been say a celebrity who has owned the piece the auction house will make a big song and dance of it.

Sotheby's London Banksy auction 13th Mar-26th March, by bottlenecknyc on Mar 11, 2020 14:32:10 GMT 1, Yea its really smart actually with the pricing. They probably had higher estimates prior to everything going on in the world and instead of canceling the sale, you go on the lower end so it beats those estimates and it looks good. Instead of taking the chance on the higher end and not matching or barely beating which could have more of a long term effect.

Yeh its for all the sell through rates on the reports looks good for them at the end of the year

I have been in touch with them early January and those were the estimates they gave, so unrelated to the recent events but rather overall strategy with estimates they have, which are way low-ball, but deliver great result as they attract semi-interested buyers who may become more and more interested during the auction process.

Maybe they are just boosting the item, because it doesn't have any other provenance….
Maybe Ben Eine's or Anthony Lister's collection is considered important.
And if it's from the Royal Family - will they tell you who it came from? Or is the only provenance when you ever want to sell it again that it came from "importance" ?

Christie’s is the last place I’d buy Banksy from, youre up against international collectors and galleries with very deep pockets.

Christie’s is the last place I’d buy Banksy from, youre up against international collectors and galleries with very deep pockets. Would people still buy from auction houses after BBay is up? And if so, would they still sell for more than BBay? I feel like Buying direct from an auction run by Banksy would push premiums up, as you get more validation and don't have to wait in line for a COA.

Sure people have done well on the high value bits mainly because his market has shot up but for prints you can shop around and get much better deals privately or through regional auction houses.

Sotheby's London Banksy auction 13th Mar-26th March, by LJCal on Mar 11, 2020 22:41:37 GMT 1, I wouldn’t waste your time unless your prepared to pay well over guide. Christie’s is the last place I’d buy Banksy from, youre up against international collectors and galleries with very deep pockets. Would people still buy from auction houses after BBay is up? And if so, would they still sell for more than BBay? I feel like Buying direct from an auction run by Banksy would push premiums up, as you get more validation and don't have to wait in line for a COA.
People with the rare and high value items will still go to the big 3 auction houses. Also the format Bbay will run will mean you may need to wait a while to sell your print through them. There will still be plenty of business to go round but I think on the lower value multiples auction houses will lose out to a degree.

Timed auctions but they’ll only allow one print from an edition to run at the same time. So if they end up with say 6 people wanting to sell Very Little Helps you’ll have to wait your turn until the other auctions have concluded.
