Sotheby's Art Auctions โข LONDON ๐ฌ๐ง, by finsburyparkranger on Aug 31, 2007 0:07:29 GMT 1, Pretty standard prints by Sotheby's standards. Interested to see what the Reaper goes for. I still think it is one of the best.
The reaper print is quite unusual isn't it. I would hazzard a guess thats one of the rare prints that banky mostly sketched and then delegated, rather than hand finished himself.

1. get people interested 2. Insurance - I believe insurance is based on the estimates.

i believe that in order to attend you may have to register to bid as they do not really allow spectators

I think the "Laugh Now..." monkey is the best of the canvas lot because it's such a classic.
As for the prints... who knows? Balloon Girl - Didn't one of those just sell on ebay for over ยฃ15000?

Sotheby's Art Auctions โข LONDON ๐ฌ๐ง, by snausages on Jun 29, 2010 22:30:09 GMT 1, Banksy's did well.
Faile did just ok. ยฃ27500 around $40,000 usd. Not their greatest but a nice big one. www.sothebys.com/app/live/lot/LotDetail.jsp?lot_id=159600461
And even millionaires are flippers, and sometimes they take major losses, from ArtInfo: Richard Princeโs aptly titled 2002 Millionaire Nurse, an ink-jet print and acrylic on canvas (est. ยฃ2-3 million, or $3-4.5 million) that sold on one bid to the telephone for a relatively lackluster ยฃ2,169,250 ($3,262,769). It last sold at Sothebyโs New York in May 2009 for $4,745,000. Short-term speculation doesnโt always produce pretty results. Why would you buy a 5 million dollar canvas in 2009 and sell it in 2010. After all the fees they took a major loss.
Komar and Melamidโs (Who broke out at the Phillips auction this spring) again hit it big. Their time-warp, faux-Soviet-Realist painting Red Flag (from Nostalgic Socialist Realism Series), from pre-Glasnost 1983 (est. ยฃ100-150,000, or $150-226 million), sold for a hefty ยฃ349,250 ($525,307).

Sotheby's Art Auctions โข LONDON ๐ฌ๐ง, by lee3 on Jun 30, 2010 4:01:03 GMT 1, >>> It last sold at Sothebyโs New York in May 2009 for $4,745,000. Short-term speculation doesnโt always produce pretty results. Why would you buy a 5 million dollar canvas in 2009 and sell it in 2010. After all the fees they took a major loss.<<<
A poor flip is possible but another scenario is that the winning bid last year didn't pay up and in that case the house usually advises not placing it in the follow up auction (autumn in this case). If that was the case the seller could choose NY May sales where (if it wasn't sold) it had been burned and therefore probably wiser to send it to London for their sales. There have been plenty of big ticket items in the past 2 years (a VERY large orange Warhol dollar sign springs to mind) that hammered but the winning bid went unpaid. Credit is much tougher to come by these days for most people. Plus the nurse paintings are incredibly overpriced (on average) anyway imo and a recent buyer should consider themselves very lucky if they "only" suffer a million dollar loss on a sale today. I just can't get out of my head the pair of more historically significant Rucha's one could own for the price of a Prince nurse but that tired comparison is from an older thread. Truth be told I'd very much enjoy either artist in my collection.
