I'm going to try and pick up some bargains. A few bits I like.

And a LV Child estimates ยฃ500-ยฃ800 when they are still on open sale for 1/4 that (never mid fee's)!!!

I also agree with the above comments too...any art auction has a variety of prices and mis judged estimates....

I Think of them like a show where you can spend your time looking at the work without panicking that someone else is going to stroll up to the desk and buy it. Then at the end of the show everything gets sold to the highest bidder ! simple and stress free. More power to them i say !

Yes. I went to the viewing on Thursday. Very mixed bag as has been said already but on the positive side some very nice stuff.

As we know the problem with viewing art via a computer is never going to do it justice, the really low resolution means that any detail/texture/finish/sharpness/depth etc. is totally lost via a 72dpi jpg.
I was to say the least, very disappointed seeing my piece less than accurately represented and think it's a case in point. I've attached a much better photo of my Coke Moss Zero Kate on copper and if you then cross reference it with the picture used in the online catalogue, I think you'll agree there's a massive difference how the piece is perceived.

Urban art auction cat up at www.dnfa.com, by RYCA on Apr 20, 2010 6:52:44 GMT 1, exactly mr K ! the picture of my piece 'big love' makes it look flat, they trimmed the framed offf the picture too! oh well had some positive feedback from people who have seen it in the flesh.
From what i saw, when i dropped off, there is alot of great bits of work. The reasons i submit my own work are simple, (1) cut out the middle man. In previous auctions i had lost 15% (standard) to the auction house and then 50% of the remaining money to the 'middle man'. It seemed crazy ! i was losing out, seeing as i had to put in all the work to create the piece! Now I use the auction houses (bonhams/dreweatts) to sell (2) unique work or special pieces, this way is fairer for people wanting to buy them. There is also the fact that by being involved your work reaches a wider audience (3).
