Yes. Which is why you really need to take all those high results from Asia with a big pinch of salt.

Itโs nothing like that in the UK, itโs happened to me about 3 times on 200-300 lots Iโve sold.

From what I understand from my friend who works at one of the big auction houses its the non-payers at online auctions which is becoming an issue.

The Thrower is a lottery winners and a first Thrower sold in a major auction!
It certainly will be interesting month as there is a Bonhams unsigned sale (very sensible not to mix the signed and unsigned) and another (yawn) Forum Banksy only!!

It actually says COA will be issued. Not in hand it seems...still excited to see the results! I am thinking this goes well above the high estimate! It's such a fantastic piece!

I realise they are deliberately set low at auctions to entice interest but these seem lower than normal? Either way, it will be really interesting to know what the end prices are.

Sotheby's Art Auctions โข LONDON ๐ฌ๐ง, by JFCC on Apr 24, 2022 18:03:11 GMT 1, I think when these auctions started to be more common during lockdown there was a lot of early activity as everyone was a bit bored and there was a bit of novelty, now they are run of the mill and so there is no excitement until the last few hours. The same happened on the Christies auction last month.
In my own opinion I think some of the "top end" prints should be in bigger auctions as the gap in value now is too large. I think a Gold GWB was passed at one on line auction (Sothebys?) and the GWB at Christies only attracted one bid.

I thought it was just me that could never find the right solution (other than float) to frame Banksy's badly placed numbering/signature
