Dreweatts Paintworks Bristol Preview, by weeble on Jun 6, 2008 11:36:08 GMT 1, Just wanted to say that last night was bloody great! Unfortunately no photos allowed  But the work looked superb! Best pieces of the night for me:
โข Banksy 'Bomb Middle England' on wood
โข Adam Neate 'Red Lips' (or something similar!)
โข Nick Walker 'Mood Board'
โข Micallef 'Rainbow Kid'
These pieces looked absolutely stunning in the flesh! Got chatting to the guy selling the Micallef - lucky bugger! 
Seriously nice pieces on display. You should get down here on Sat if you can, really recommend checking it out.

They are also selling the NW Mood board. Although on their site it is described as 'Moon board'

Dreweatts Paintworks Bristol Preview, by alsbabar on Jun 6, 2008 12:00:34 GMT 1, 1 consolation is at least 4% is going back to Banksy, the SG Charity.
So from Bethlehem he has sold/selling:
Rainbow Kid
Banksy/Paul Insect Collab
3D No Surrender
I bet he is not on the POW christmas card list

He is not on Nick Walkers Xmas card list either, you have no idea how pissed he was after LA show about it! Ratatouille (which is also on offer at the auction) was on his website several weeks before he even got the canvas!

Dreweatts Paintworks Bristol Preview, by Art-el on Jun 6, 2008 12:17:33 GMT 1, Back to the main event.
Badly hungover
Anyone who's not been should really try to get along to the Paintworks to see the exhibition which has some lovely work and the sweet piece that Inkie & Mr Jago painted which will be a permanent feature.
Also if you go along take a peek across the river to check out some fresh burners from the Bristol duo Milk & Paris. You can get a great view of them from the windows at the far end of Boca Bar.

Dreweatts Paintworks Bristol Preview, by bristolboy on Jun 8, 2008 12:06:24 GMT 1, I cycled down on friday to have a look, some great pieces there, also lots of estimates that made me smile. Definately gave me a greater appreciation of works id never been that fond of. Have to admit a few of the Banksy's looked rough.

Dreweatts Paintworks Bristol Preview, by Deleted on Jun 8, 2008 16:03:27 GMT 1, i've had a good look at the art up for auction at both Selfridges and Paintworks. theres loads of great stuff and i reckon that Dreweatts have done an amazing job with the promotion of it. my dad arrived at my place yesterday with a page cut out from antique trade gazette(i think, it may have been another paper though). there was a huge ad in it for the event. also seen stories in Venue(cover) and other papers too.
i am sure its going to be a success and i would be very happy to enter my own stuff in their next urban auction knowing how hard they have worked on this one.
i do feel that a lot of the estimates arent great, imo there is stuff that won't make the reserve price and some by a long way, there is also stuff with incredibly low reserves, however these auctions can throw up some suprises.
i have my eye on a few bits of which i will make no mention here.
i was also impressed by
Mr Jagos canvas- You started it
Eelus- Raven Haried Girl
Banksy-Bomb Middle England
Tittifreak's stuff was all good
Neates stuff was great
i could go on.

Dreweatts Paintworks Bristol Preview, by mred on Jun 8, 2008 18:21:08 GMT 1, Went down with girlfriend yesterday, spent about 40 minutes there and enjoyed every minute. Good vibe helped alot by the weather and venue.
Agree with comments about estimates, some seem really low others well over the top. That said I am a country hick and those big boys from the smoke seem to have really deep pockets and more money than sense IMHO.
Tempted by a few things but think I will stay away as not sure I would not get carried away and pay way over the odds. That said will be keeping my eyes on what prices they actually make and if they start making or exceeding the estimates it might be time to off load big time some of the more established artist.
