The funniest part.

'I bought the house that he used to live in,' she told us. 'He had rented out a room but I think there had been problems with the tenants and the landlord had to sort of repossess it or whatever, so he was just selling it.

'When I moved in, the place had been covered in graffiti and stuff like that. I threw things in the bin.

'At that point Banksy was just someone putting up stuff around Bristol. He was just another artist who had graffitied around Bristol. It keeps me awake at night sometimes thinking about it.'

Yah, it does sound very well researched. Probably true. Everything fits.

Wow! Crushed the estimate

[sport1]

Another strong result for Banksy , his auction results have definitely picked up pace this year. Will be interesting to see how the Bonhams sale goes after the last LA disaster.

[volvic]

In all honesty it baffles me as to why someone would part with 80K for this.

[chaserawr]

More money than sense.

looks like new piece was just sold @ Christie's charity auction:

[bluesteel]

$315K. Solid result. As expected with these charity auctions.

I've been an admirer of Laura Keeble's street interventions for a while.

This commentary on the Banksy Slave Labour piece was dropped on the street the morning of the auction where the work reputedly sold for over a million dollars.
The fact that the above has been called out as BS makes this piece even more special.

For anyone looking to authenticate an print through Pest Control. The process currently takes a little less than 3 months. Submitted a print for verification in late March and received a response last week. No secondary request for photos, but I was diligent in taking photos and closeups of everything, including the back of the print. Also provided as much background info as possible, including the registrant information currently on file with POW.

Charge for the COA is £50 + VAT charge per COA + £6 recorded delivery for a total of £66. E-mailed them regarding the VAT charge since I'm in the US, and am waiting for a response.
