The art auction market has been around for years, certainly a lot more than street art has been but yet, this emerging form of art seems to be on everybody’s lips and wallet indeed.
Bonhams’ auction, which just happened, has definitely showed us that. The bidding was fierce, the desire to own pieces from street artists, a must. The total sale from this Urban Art Sale at Bonham’s New Bond Street reached 455,760 GBP, with almost half of the works selling above their high estimates.
Here are some of the best sales

Banksy has finally dropped again in London and this time, he has put a strong emphasis on different signs of pop culture which suits so well street art and especially stencils.
Some says that that one of his new work is a clear reference to The Clash London Calling album cover, another one refers to Futurama’s Bender and in the last one, Keith Harringâ’s Dog can be clearly recognized.
Locations of these new works:
The Clash London Calling album cover – Thomas More Square (E1)
Futurama’s Bender – Not know (yet)
Keith Harring’s dog – located on Grange Road (SE1)
On another note, ART-PIE has learnt that Banksy story boarded and directed the opening of the latest Simpsons episode. View it below.
