Sotheby's Art Auctions β’ LONDON π¬π§, by BunnyBoiler on Apr 1, 2008 15:09:53 GMT 1, I thought there would be a lot more interest in the unsold bombhugger...
It might be the condition the bombhugger is in... "in good condition apart from pin holes to each corner with some creasing around the pin hole upper right"

Is that correct? Pinholes?
unbelievable - whats the cheapest a BH was Β£65 signed? - I wouldn't pin something I'd paid that sort of money for to the wall.....let alone how much its worth now.
Was the TM in the same condition?

Note that was the print mentioned in the Daily Mail article also.

Yes... basically damaged for me... "in good condition apart from pin holes to all four corners (two in upper right), with some associated creasing"

Not a real steal when you add the 25% Buyers Premium. Whats with this anyway? They also take a commision from the seller too right?

oh, I thought it went for 3k GBP, so it would be $7500 AFTER paying extra for the premium.. if that's the case, it's back to being a steal...

But Danger Mouse's figures include the Buyer's Premium. One has to add VAT on the premium where applicable.

Sotheby's Art Auctions β’ LONDON π¬π§, by seidbereit on Apr 1, 2008 16:03:10 GMT 1, Just had a browse through the catalogue and I have to say that it's one very strange mixture of artists they've put together. It seems to have been mainly a Matisse auction (the first 120 lots) with a very varied selection of other stuff tagged on from etchings, to lithographs to aquatints and engravings spanning over several eras.
I'm really not quite sure how Banksy came to be included in this in the first place to be honest... the fact that every second lot appears to be going unsold would suggest to me that too many different styles have been thrown together without there being enough of any of the styles to really generate any real interest among collectors who would normally be involved in those individual markets. In short, there seems to be too much diversity in what's on offer.

A little disappointed to be honest as my first thought on seeing the banksy prices was that there might be a brief period of people dumping banksy on the market and maybe some nice bargains to fill me boots with, but having looked at the rest of the catalogue (and the fact that 3 of the banksys were damaged in one way or another causing them to go cheap or not at all) I don't think this will have any effect at all. Ah well. Next time, maybe.

Why not? I blue tacked an RC to the wall, It was Β£25, how was I to know what the future held. Many old prints would have been stuck to walls and doors back then.

I guess - maybe its just me, but Β£25 - yeah - I might have bluetacked that to the wall.
Β£65 - for a later realeased signed BH - probably not. (I seem to remember this being the lowest price they ever were) - the difference of Β£40 is the difference between me pinning it to the wall - and me taking care of it. Maybe thats just me.
I guess I just don't have your laissez faire attitude to materialism and wealth to use RC's as dartboards/wrap your chips in ABC ;D

I'm not sure how that might affect the NY market but there are a few big hitters away at the moment because of schools being shut etc. It sounds like this was a little bit of a hash job by Sothebys on this occasion.

More likely to be because it had creases or pinholes in it. Not sure which, but definitely wasn't mint.
