I'm pretty certain it's exactly the same piece again as i remember seeing that slight tear in the canvas.

Close, Bonhams sold 1/3 for Β£14,400 in February. Didnβt know it was ripped though.

The sales speak for themselves but with average lots achieving $3.58m, highest values at $34.5m and a total art sales reaching $205.4m it's obviously not as credit crunchy for everyone out there

If Sotheby's is reading this my address is 21.......

didn't see this catalogue here before:
browse.sothebys.com/?&cat=1&event_id=28681&g=1&i=1&sale_id=L08161&nb=1&dp=Prints+-+Old+Master%2C+19thC+and+Modern
11 Banksys (all signed I think) in it:
Morons (white) 3-4K GBP
Grannies 3-5K
Love Rat 4-6K
wrong war 4-6K
Grin Reaper 4-6K
Pulp Fiction 4-6K
Soup Can (Lilac, Cherry, Mint), 7-9K
Queen Vic 7-9K
Trolleys 8-10K
Kate Moss 30-50K
Gold Flag 8-12K
Also the 9 PP&P from Neate innit (10-15k).
bit high estimates on the Banksys? Or am I just wrong..

Sotheby's Art Auctions β’ LONDON π¬π§, by lee3 on Sept 25, 2008 21:43:50 GMT 1, A complete set of Kate Moss prints which I'm surprised to see listed in an evening sale but good for him. Likewise, a Queen Vic painting that should do quite well. I'm fond of whatever collector scooped up 10 different small Warhol skull paintings and is letting them go as one complete lot.
There are a couple other Banksy's in the day sale too. Here is a link to the evening catalog which was just released

This stuff is definatley in the 'Bond Street' bracket
Looking at the prices for this stuff really puts it all into perspective, the most expensive thing in my collection is worth about Β£3K and I'm proud of that... I dont think that art in these price ranges will ever be gracing my walls the only way I'll be seeing this kind of stuff is on gallery walls
I'm in the 'Primark' bracket when it comes to collecting art!

Sotheby's Art Auctions β’ LONDON π¬π§, by lee3 on Sept 26, 2008 16:44:56 GMT 1, >>>Those gold Monas by Warhol are sooo boring and uninspired it is incredible - decades into his career and he was pumping out that tedious crap!?! <<<<
Boring to you? Perhaps. Unispired? That I have to disagree with. Warhol was the most prolific artist that's ever been on this planet and among the most influential as well. Even he said he was running out of ideas in '82 when he returned from dinner with a lobster bib and promptly took a photo for what would become the screen to the lobster paintings. A lot of stuff from the early 80s looks dated to me as well. And that's a big reason why he was getting/squeezing what he could from the other talented artists of the day like his collaborations with Basquiat.
But, my god if he didn't hit the cover off the ball with his final show (fright wigs) and his final compositions paying homage to Da Vinci including this Mona Lisa painting and the Last Supper paintings. They may not be for everyone but to me they are much more than just some screens of the Moma Lisa when one understands how important that image was to him as he began painting it way back in '62 or '63 with vibrant colors at the beginning of his non commercial career and would paint it from time to time until his death. Further, the inspiration is a direct result of the relationship to the Kennedy's whom Warhol was infatuated with (who wasn't in the early 60's). But, I'm a sucker for art within art as is the case with these compositions. Add into the equation with this particular painting that he did it on gold which he only reserved for his finest pieces and today carry by far the largest premium to any other color (with silver a close second).
All the more ironic considering the Kate Moss prints in the same sale (and so much more of Banksy's work even down to the way he creates much of his work) is so obviously influenced by Andy. The primary reason the Kate Moss images carry the kind of premium they do imho, is because Marilyn, even more than Campbell's soup, is the most important image that Warhol (and consequently Pop Art) ever produced.
Personally, I see little difference between Warhol paying homage to da Vinci and Banksy to Warhol. Sorry, I got carried a way on a tangent avoiding work here but that's my long winded way of saying there was more than a little inspiration for that painting.

I don't believe so but could be mistaken. I have a .pdf with the Laz piece which states it's from an edition of 2. The one that Laz has/d is in a different frame than the one for sale at Sotheby's.

There are two versions, this 1/1 with a full image including legs, and the other with them cropped as seen in the print version. The price has certainly gone up since then, amazing that it didn't sell back then.

Interesting to see the Bacon portrait of Freud. I really like the Warhol double Marilyn and the 9 marilyn reversal canvases and that green Basquiat. Another Richard Prince nurse for over $5m US? Link to the evening sale below....

No Banksy in the Christie's evening sale but plenty in the day sale along with Nick Walker, Faile, Vaughn, Neate, and Blek too.
