what a mixed bag

some stunners from banksy and neate

and some weird stuff from the likes of mudwig entered into the auction himself!

nice one yapsey

yes - they are first class

why has there not been any comments on the SPQR piece... its amazingly buff!! xx

There are some real treats in that there catalogue... makes me mad that im not mre flush with cash right now. Seems I will be missing out again.
Good luck to anyone thats bidding.

They all should do well

i believe the preview is on friday not 2moz. ?

ill just break in

when its closed. i may get hungry if im going to queue

but no prints on sale then ?

It's also sponsored by a an investment bank... I've got an invite for tomorrow with D*Face on the front and NW's Vandal and Nikers inside

yeah man - got back home and thanks fo the free beer selfridges

no photos allowed but here are a couple of pics of the stairs on the way in..

some good work in the place and some high estimate prices..people were snapping up the special prints which feature contributions and signatures from all the artists (except one..guess who??)

auction should be good..looked like a lot of people were interested in the art..

Just come back from the Dreweatts auction preview and the Laz show - what a night.

Arrived at 6pm - had a cup of tea in the Selfridges cafe overlooking the entrance - at 6.30 there where about 20 people in the line - although most where suits (if you where important enough - you where greated with a catalouge - if not, you had to Q and pay £15.)

Free booze was great - more exciting though was the art.

Favourates for me.....

The Banksy stuff (obvious I know) - but interesting, the laugh now was a little bit bent round the edges and so was the Glastonbury sign - for that kind of money I would want then mint (ok - I know its street art and all that)

Banksy portrait took your breath away - so it should at 150 to 200K

Adam Koukoudakis - saw this artist at the Bristol show 2 weeks ago - the more you see the better - really big canvasses worked well - simple, but effective.

Dface Ice cream was fun......on a fridge door too - again, simple but effective.

Adam Neate - Red lips also stands out (get the pair if you can afford it!)

SPQR - loved the dive bomber - I think this beats Matts Paint Bomber (my fav of his) - but did not really get the SPQR Yellow Mamma (sorry Matt)

Overall - the best thing about the show was the real mix of artisits - and price points.

Top names where being mixed with new names - so I feel it really helped lifted some of the new artists.

Really well put together - really nice crowd - good to meet some of the people from the forum and the NW overnight Q.

Also met Golde - he's not like the guy you saw on Big Brother - he came across really well and a real pleasure to chat with him (if you have not seen his new Pete Tong image - look at it, it great!)

The popped to the Laz show - again, another Wow with the Faile stuff really exciting me (also really worthwhile having a look at the print shop - some great prints for sale - as well as some really good and different frame jobs (given me a few good ideas)

Full marks to all involved.

Many thanks to Mary for the invite and Dan x2 for the tag along to the Laz show.

Cheers
