Banksy Statement RE: Lyon & Turnbull, by graeme501 on Sept 26, 2008 13:39:55 GMT 1, Thank you for clarifying that graeme as I said you are within your rights to sell anything you like to who ever you like. I am surprised that anyone would sell something of such value through a lesser known auction house when there are some very good ones in London who have maybe a better client contact list and also a track record of selling PC COA Banksy work but that's just my opinion. I understand what you are saying re the sale and what it is for But I would not sell anything myself through this auction house. What you have spent on PC COA is NOT a Waste of Money and the cost of photography is small.
i know, the COA isnt a waste of money, and it would have been better going to one of the more established auction houses, but at the time when i was enterting it in the sale, i was so in good faith, it just seemed like a normal auction sale, and i wasnt looking to make loads of money on this, just enough to cover the herakut canvas - if both pieces sell exactly on the low estimate, then with that minus the fee's i have exactly enough money for the herakut, and thats all i want and thats perfect

Totally agree. Graeme has been on the forum for ages and made many very, very good points. I also don't see what he's done wrong here either. There seem to be many kettles and pots about at the moment.

When is a Banksy not a Banksy? Auction may decide
Fri Sep 26, 2008 2:02pm
LONDON (Reuters) - Cult graffiti artist Banksy, whose works can fetch hundreds of thousands of pounds and are popular with some of the world's biggest stars, has refused to authenticate five works up for auction this weekend in London.
Pest Control, the organisation tasked with authenticating the anonymous British artist's works, said it would not approve any street pieces removed from their original setting, partly to crack down on fakes and partly to protect the original concept.
Banksy made a name for himself painting stencilled satirical and political images in public spaces, always keeping his identity hidden.
His work became so valuable that several street pieces were salvaged, including a painting attributed to Banksy on a wall in London that fetched 208,100 pounds in an online sale. The cost of removing the wall and replacing it was not included.
Ben Hanly of auctioneer Lyon & Turnbull said the sale would go ahead even without official verification, adding that there was no doubt the pieces on offer were original.
On its website, Pest Control said that since its creation in January, 89 street pieces and 137 screen prints attributed to Banksy have turned out to be false, potentially involving millions of pounds of losses for the buyers.
"Pest Control does not authenticate street pieces because Banksy prefers street work to remain in situ and building owners tend to become irate when their doors go missing because of a stencil," Pest Control said.
"He would encourage anyone wanting to purchase one of his images to do so with extreme caution, but does point out that many copies are superior in quality to the originals."
Hanly said the five works up for sale had been authenticated by the unauthorised organisation Vermin.
"They are Banksy's," he told Reuters. "They are in all the literature and everything. And Vermin's authentication service gives all the provenance for each piece listed as clear as day.
"The market will decide."
The five street works on offer are worth between 200,000 and 275,000 pounds in total.
The auction record for a Banksy is 288,000 pounds for "Space Girl and Bird."

Banksy Statement RE: Lyon & Turnbull, by Daniel Silk on Sept 26, 2008 17:29:50 GMT 1, www.thefirstpost.co.uk/people,1434,banksy-scuppers-auction-of-his-street-works,46940
Banksy KOs auction of his street works
The graffiti artist Banksy may have nullified a multi-million pound sale of his works which is being held (or not, as the case may be) in London this Saturday by the auction house Lyon & Turnbull. As reported here on Tuesday, L&T were hoping to flog off more than 20 works by the street dauber, five of which had a guide price of £250,000.
But in a statement issued through his publicist, Banksy (pictured here placing one of his own works in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) has urged potential buyers to boycott the auction, a move that could render anything not properly authenticated worthless.
Said Banksy: "Graffiti art has a hard enough life as it is - with council workers wanting to remove it and kids wanting to draw moustaches on it, before you add hedge-fund managers wanting to chop it out and hang it over the fireplace. For the sake of keeping all street art where it belongs, I'd encourage people not to buy anything by anybody unless it was created for sale in the first place."
To stop fakes being sold, a body has been set up to verify Banksy's work, Pest Control, and it has already identified 226 falsely attributed pieces in the last eight months. However, while a few of the works being sold by L&T have this stamp of approval, the majority do not. Instead, the auction house cheekily went to a rival authentication body called Vermin.
In L&T's lavishly produced auction catalogue, a statement from Vermin says that it is in "no way associated with the artist known as Banksy," adding "and as such is uniquely placed to provide this service [authentication]." Each piece, it proclaims, will come with a Vermin certificate, judged by a panel of experts drawn from contemporary art dealers. But Banksy is refusing to accept Vermin's claim to legitimacy.
Among the five lots Banksy disputes are the Refuse Rat, expected to fetch £20,000, and Fungle Junk (estimate: £150,000), consisting of three panels painted on to the side of a trailer at the Lizard festival in Cornwall in 1999.
Ben Hanly, head of contemporary art at L & T, appears to sense danger. "We are sure these street works are authentic. It would be absolute madness for us to sell anything we don't believe is genuine. But whether the market agrees with us, we shall see."

I agree with this, kind of hypocritical of Banksy to say this unless he knows for a fact these are fakes and I doubt that fungle is. I doubt the others are too and even if it isn't Christies I doubt an auction house this large would ruin their reputation over some street art.
It's not up to Banksy to control property that isn't his anymore despite his personal moral views of 'street art.'

Although it's not Banksy's property as such, he has the right to say what he wants about his own work. I'd be doing much the same if I were him, I have real issue with people ripping out street pieces for profit . If these sell with the Vermin 'authentication' it could well have an impact on what street work he bothers doing in the future. If the auction house is that worried about it's reputation, maybe it should respect the artist's wishes and pull the pieces?

And I have a real issue with people abusing and damaging other peoples property for their own self promotion. Banksy used the streets as free advertisement for his brand and now he is making millions because of it. Illegal street art has absolutely no right to exist even if you think it's for the good of the community or whomever.
Respect the artists wishes? How about the artist respect property that isn't his?

Banksy Statement RE: Lyon & Turnbull, by lee3 on Sept 26, 2008 18:05:52 GMT 1, >>>These 4 pieces have now been tainted, so who in their right mind would buy them anyway?? <<<<
Any dealer sitting on a sizeable inventory of Banksy street pieces with deep pockets who believes that they could then use the sales as evidence to move rest of their inventory while putting these in storage until much of said inventory is sold. There are just too many games played in the art market and it really is buyer beware.

They have in this auction a BME signed and numbered 34/50 - signed edition IS 150 - this auction stinks to high heaven of inconsistencies, fake items and a real lack of knowledge.

I do not agree here. Just because he didn't authenticate them doesn't make them fake. It's just that they don't have the approval of Banksy as auction pieces. Fakes are something entirely different.
The important thing is that Vermin doesn't get acknowledged as an authority to authenticate Banksy street pieces.

Banksy warns of fake art
Banksy, the world's most successful graffiti artist, has revealed that millions of pounds worth of works of art attributed to him are fakes.
IMO a FOOL is easily parted from his money.

Banksy Statement RE: Lyon & Turnbull, by alsbabar on Sept 26, 2008 20:48:40 GMT 1, Sell or dont sell, some people had the choice to support Banksy's call for the greater good, and some clearly havent. This whole vermin thing was/is a battle between good and evil and some of you thought that Banksy would lose, I think you have seen this week, what his views and desires are. Graeme and all the others who put their pieces in to this auction, and havent withdrawn their piece, have shown where their allegiances lie.
Banksy doesnt produce pieces of work for sale, so any and all to just go out and sell, because they want to buy a Herakut, or a home for their kids, get a job and buy one. I hope yours dont sell, I dont give a shit how long you been posting or how long a member you've been, you firmly attached your colours to your mast, you've been a sly fucker from the first time i spoke you about SG07 Bethlehem, and you are still a sly fucker today!!!

Banksy Statement RE: Lyon & Turnbull, by onemandown72 on Sept 26, 2008 20:51:47 GMT 1, For me the interesting one, (which I've been accused of all sorts for already raising questions about) is Fungle Junk. The other 4 are clearly street pieces, pulled off the street and I can completely understand the reticence of Banks via PC to authenticate. Fungle Junk is different, and for this reason I am really curious as to what happens. Of all the 5 I believe it stands the strongest chance of making it's estimate.

Banksy Statement RE: Lyon & Turnbull, by They call me Stephen on Sept 26, 2008 20:58:35 GMT 1, I'm not sure if i'm missing some kind of missing agenda her but what is graeme doing wrong? He was lucky enough to buy a Banksy print and it's his choice what he does with it. He's selling it in order to buy more art, I don't see what's wrong with that. It's not a street piece he's nabbed off the streets or sprayed himself. Are you saying you've never sold a print to fund another one Alsabar?
If Banksy doesn't want any of his work to be sold then why did himself and laz create pest control??

Banksy Statement RE: Lyon & Turnbull, by icky on Sept 26, 2008 20:59:07 GMT 1, Sell or dont sell, some people had the choice to support Banksy's call for the greater good, and some clearly havent. This whole vermin thing was/is a battle between good and evil and some of you thought that Banksy would lose, I think you have seen this week, what his views and desires are. Graeme and all the others who put their pieces in to this auction, and havent withdrawn their piece, have shown where their allegiances lie. Banksy doesnt produce pieces of work for sale, so any and all to just go out and sell, because they want to buy a Herakut, or a home for their kids, get a job and buy one. I hope yours dont sell, I dont give a s**t how long you been posting or how long a member you've been, you firmly attached your colours to your mast, you've been a sly f**ker from the first time i spoke you about SG07 Bethlehem, and you are still a sly f**ker today!!!
You posting on this thread must be the best argument for Vermin.
Pipe down a bit.
