Christie's Art Auctions , by Winter on Feb 28, 2021 17:23:16 GMT 1, I think there’s also a small exhibition in the Rockefeller Centre to tie in with the sale so good for his profile. Looks like all pieces have received at least one bid.

Christie's Art Auctions , by JAlternatión on Feb 28, 2021 18:57:47 GMT 1, I paid $5,000 primary for a 50cm x 40cm canvas recently and sold a 70 x 50 work on paper for £8,500 at auction just to give some ideas on values of small pieces. I personally think this auction is not a good idea for him unless someone is underwriting it.
I also wouldn't at all be surprised if someone came and hoovered these up at 50-60% above estimate. Many of the larger pieces seem to be close to upper estimate with well over a week remaining

I personally think this auction is not a good idea for him unless someone is underwriting it. Those prices would tie with what I would expect (and paid myself fairly recently). I was slightly surprised at how quickly the Jack Bell pieces went, which were a bit higher than that (£6k + VAT for smaller pieces). I also wouldn't at all be surprised if someone came and hoovered these up at 50-60% above estimate. Many of the larger pieces seem to be close to upper estimate with well over a week remaining |

Christie's Art Auctions , by JAlternatión on Mar 11, 2021 10:02:01 GMT 1, Interesting prices with a day to go on this. The canvases (larger pieces) have all achieved between 100 and 200% of upper estimate, whereas the smaller pieces on paper are sat just above lower estimate. I expect quite a lot of movement on the smaller pieces, but overall great prices on them at the moment, especially compared to the Jack Bell pieces

Christie's Art Auctions , by Georgie Poppit on Mar 11, 2021 11:13:35 GMT 1, Why do you think that? Compared to what Christies usually sell at his prices are next to nothing even on the big pieces. I'd say a pump of any kind would see the prices far higher than $20-30k. I see it more that Christies are simply championing and showcasing a genuine young(ish) talent, nothing more.

He's sold out an exhibition at Jack Bell in a couple of days, had publicity with Pepsi, etc, so if any decent representative would of course try to get a house like Christies to increase his profile

All auction houses want all artists work to increase in value so they make more money.

Are you suggesting this particular sale is being artificially manipulated and if so do you have evidence you'd like to share?

We don't need some one like you on this forum...

Christie's Art Auctions , by Georgie Poppit on Mar 12, 2021 22:58:15 GMT 1, Still a very small value auction compared to the figures Christies usually work with. What was the Da Vinci they sold, $450 million?

I have been following him for years, but never bought anything because I was never offered a great image and was concerned about SJWs whining about the use of pornography in his work. Lo and behold Christie's trying to get woke has pushed his prices through the roof.

Out of interest what's the point in writing "if you know, you know. And I guess none of you guys on this thread know.." on a public art forum and then not explaining. If you know something why don't you share it?

Christie's Art Auctions , by Graham H on Mar 16, 2021 15:16:17 GMT 1, They seem to have adopted a different approach to Sothebys and set the estimates pretty high in most cases rather than lure people in with lower starting prices
Nothing really ' different ' in there other than the signed Liita.. so i also guess we will see if this auction house can pull in the bigger bidders and cement its place as the place to sell Banksy works
Be interesting to see which approach works best

Christie's Art Auctions , by Georgie Poppit on Mar 16, 2021 15:17:50 GMT 1, Thought there may have been a couple more special pieces. Could be quite a smart tactic putting the HW canvas in there. With some very high priced prints it may look good value.

Agreed and thought there might be more special editions. I think this is only the second signed LIITA at auction since about 2017. Certainly seems to be rarer than the GWBs.

I think they like to separate originals from prints in their auctions. I reckon it’s a traditional separation of departments for these auction houses.

The market could've shifted a little in 2 weeks... 14 days is a long time in Banksy land :-)
