Untitled
signed 'Banksy 010' (on the reverse)
spray enamel on found aluminium sign
35ยพ x 35ยพin. (90.9 x 90.9cm.)
Executed in 2010
Estimate (Set Currency) ยฃ35,000 - ยฃ45,000

It's a unique GWB with a dotted line down the middle (separating the girl and balloon) and the words "in case of divorce cut here". It was a gift from the artist last year to Hopper which is when he was going through his final divorce. That's some twisted humor and a good belly laugh too.
Edit: The evening sale the night before is stocked to the gills with 70+ lots including a large soup can and opener (est $30-50MM) and more goodies than one could possibly mention. I was stunned by the volume and quality on offer in the evening sale.

Dennis Hopper Art Collection Auction, by Harveyn on Oct 19, 2010 19:54:22 GMT 1, What a great piece Lee. Good price it fetched also ยฃ46,850
Took ages to find this thread because of that other drivel going on. I really miss the half decent search facility this forum had as the 100 posts should be ignored at times like this.
Any links to the actual catalogue of Dennis' collection?

That's comparatively nothing to be honest as ridculous as that may sound. He's gone through numerous divorces and long ago sold his best Warhol's. As good as his collection is and it changed signficantly over the years, it pales to what it would have looked like had he not had 4 or 5 ex-wives. As for the speed of the sale, sadly he went through 2 of the 3 terrible D's (debt/divorce/death) last year and any one of them alone qualify to get an auctioneer excited. I haven't seen the Sotheby's NYC offerings yet but if it's anything like Christie's, the NY sales totals will be shocking.

Don't purchase it as those are pricey. Call them and get a client number and tell them you're interested in a couple lots in that sale and ask them to send one to you. One also gets a full years subscription to the hard copy catalogs by bidding on anything. Even a low out of the money absentee bid will stuff your mailbox full. They do a wonderful job photographing and preparing those catalogs and it's one of the best educational tools I've used to familiarize myself with the works of various artists.

Dennis Hopper Art Collection Auction, by Hubble Bubble on Jan 5, 2011 20:43:05 GMT 1, I directed Dennis in a movie a few years back. He told me he'd had four separate art collections, each of which had been sold at the time of a divorce. He began collecting in the late 50's. I think he said that the total value of all his collections at today's prices would be comfortably over $100 million ( this was a few years back, pre economic crisis). He had a great eye for his art, was a genuinely talented photographer and consummately professional actor.
He was also just a little bit bonkers - but in a way that many artists are.
The kind of person you never ever forget.
