Best Auction House for Banksy ephemera?, by daveyuk on Jul 21, 2023 11:45:13 GMT 1, Does anyone have recommendations for auctioneers that would be interested in a very large collection of Banksy, mostly low cost, items please?
I have to downsize my collection big time and thought I'd get rid of it all and maybe a physical auction place would be ideal (?). I'm in the process of making an inventory which includes tons of Banksy LPs, CDs, DVDs, Stickers, postcards, Walled Off pens, business cards, T-shirts, Dismaland, Banksy vs Bristol posters, books etc. loads of WCPs, Plus, err, apologies in advance... items by other artists who are rather influenced by Banksy 
I have to make room in my house for people to live apparently so I thought I'd get rid of the lot in one go. Might not be the best time for it but any ideas would be most welcome please.
Thanks in advance.
And best from the West x

Maybe listing some on here would shift the majority? Who here doesnโt love Banksy Ephemera!! Thanks for your message. I had thought about that but ideally I want shot of the lot. All of it one one go rather than it be cherry picked and I'd just be left with ten copies of Dear NHS and And The Ass Saw The Angel, if you know what I mean. haha Thanks v much though I will consider it. |

Best Auction House for Banksy ephemera?, by billybob1969 on Jul 22, 2023 2:44:24 GMT 1, You'll be looking at a regional auction house, and the issue with small stuff is that a lot want to charge catalogue fees. If you had like a soup can or parliament poster that would may be worth a go at somewhere like Lyon and Turnbull or Sworders. Anything worth a few hundred quid or so (or less) I'd just stick everything on ebay over a few weeks at ยฃ1 starting bids if you want shot of it, as another member said here is also a good shout if you price sensibly.

Best Auction House for Banksy ephemera?, by Acme Thunderer on Jul 22, 2023 9:16:55 GMT 1, If you are not looking to do it yourself, then I would try someone like www.ewbankauctions.co.uk who may decide to do an auction on your collection. Do a bit of work beforehand on your inventory with estimates and also see what you can group together (for the lower value items).
Then if you do, share the link on UAA as plenty of people will be interested. ๐
โฆfwiw, for the โinfluenced by Banksyโ items, I would not include them in the same auction as it would devalue original items.

In fairness you were trying to sell items as by Banksy when they were unauthorised reproductions, people quite rightly pointed this out. i donโt see anything wrong with ephemera or even reproductions as long as itโs described as such, Iโm sure most members would agree. |

And since no ephemera can get authenticated, whats to say any of it is real other than the word of some people. Even the Laz stuff gets refused by Tate ward, so what is worth buying without a cert.

Interested to know if they ever were claimed as unauthorised were they? We know he had history with record companies, he may have said yeah cool, but never claimed them. I dont know, but ive never seen it said they are actual unofficial other than on here which, well....

That on the other hand, would be pretty conclusive. Any idea where i could find this? I may need to break some unfortunate news. |

Thereโs been a few threads about this, Pest Control were contacted and came back saying Banksy had no involvement. I guess there are two types of ephemera, those authorised or created by him like Peckham Rocks, Petrol Bomb posters, Difaced currency and then the rip off stuff like the little Japanese flower thrower statues, the clown with gun prints and these record covers. Pest Control wonโt issue certificates even for official ephemera but for me itโs still perfectly fine to catalogue as Banksy whilst the other stuff should be after or in manner of Banksy. I think as long as people list and catalogue correctly they should be able to sell what they want, I think it becomes an issue when people sell things (even innocently) with inaccurate or misleading descriptions. |

Best Auction House for Banksy ephemera?, by daveyuk on Jul 24, 2023 14:37:41 GMT 1, Thanks to everyone for the suggestions.
For clarity I meant part of the collection which I want shot of is art that is influenced by Banksy - like Mrs Banksy , WCP, etc
but not fake items deliberately made to con people.
If that makes sense ๐

If that makes sense ๐ TBH sending them to an auction house will be a similar amount of work, youโll have ri prepare a list negotiate fees, agree estimates and reserves, often provide proof of purchase and so on |
