Six prints of model Kate Moss by artist Banksy are expected to fetch up to £150,000 at auction later.
The works, inspired by Andy Warhol’s iconic image of Marilyn Monroe, are among 78 lots being sold in London.
The screen prints were produced in a limited run of 20 sets, but because most were sold individually, complete sets are scarce.
Although some Banksy prints failed to sell earlier this year, I guess they’re giving it another shot. Lots of his work seems to be up for sale, but due to the global economy, auctions like this are failing to sell many items. For someone who has hidden their identity for so many years, much of his work is being seems to be connecting with mainstream art collectors. Would this be considered selling out? If you read his website, it’s not the sort of thing you think he’d be into.
