Nice piece

Some AMAZING pieces, if I had the cash I'd buy the lot.

I am simply speechless - now where did I put that million dollars again! Everybody should study this link there is a history of street art that will probably never be seen again!

Its really good to see how they feature the whole spectrum of the history of graffiti... Its like the NE DANS LA RUE show that happened recently in Paris, a lot of it was about reverence for the history and roots of the movement.
Im glad too that DRAN, C215, EINE and Andrew McAttee are up in there too.

Loving those early Futura pieces

Wow!

I'm quite surprised to see the Denning in there and that it didn't sell at Represent at end of last year.
Hopefully someone will pick up a bargain at the auction

Great sale, a whole lot of history right there

Banksy was lot 252 - appears to have been withdrawn

Results are up, the 1984 Futura going for 33,997 Euro. Congrats to C215 for the sale at 1700 euro (hope he got some of it)

"The Art Market: meaty graffiti prices
Published: April 3 2010 02:17 | Last updated: April 3 2010 02:17
There is still some life left in the urban art category, judging by the solid results made in Paris last week at Artcurial, France’s third-biggest auction house. Its “graffiti and street art” sale raised €383,000 (£340,400) for 80 lots sold, with the top price going to a work by Speedy Graphito, “Mandala” (2009), which sold for €35,200 (est €20,000-€25,000). The artist had consigned the work himself, as well as a two-metre-tall sculpture, “King Size” (2009), the cover lot, which sold for an over-estimate €21,600. “Generally we don’t sell works directly from the artists, but there are exceptions in the urban art category,” says sale specialist Arnaud Oliveux. The house also scored with older works, setting a new price high for US graffiti artist Futura 2000, whose 1984 “Baby Formula” made €34,000.
These levels are a far cry from those made by Banksy, the best-known street artist. In 2008 his defaced Hirst spot painting, “Keep it Spotless” (2007), showing a maid sweeping up in front of a spot painting, made more than $1.8m (£1.2m) at the charity Red sale in New York. But, says Oliveux, “Banksy is a one-off phenomenon, and his prices don’t reflect others in this field.” But recent Banksy prices have tumbled: a version of his stencil-on-canvas “Lenin on Rollerskates” (2003) sold for £16,800 at Bonhams in London last month, while comparable pieces made almost £50,000 in 2007 and £36,000 in 2008.
“The recession has hit this category really hard,” says Bonhams’ specialist Pedro Lopez Pelegrin; the firm has ended its dedicated urban art sales and now rolls such works into its Vision 21 sales."

probably the right move though.

just seen the pieces by RAMMELLZEE, that guy's a headcase if i remember right, he was on a street art documentary i watched recently.
