Banksy’s Graffiti to fetch $2 mn at Sotheby’s, “The Rude Lord” for $405,800

The Rude Lord

Banksy collectors plan to sell off $2.2 million of artwork at Sotheby’s, Bonhams Bloomsbury Auctions and a gay bar in London this month (11-14 October). The considerable demand of masterwork is a clear indication of whopping sales expected from this graffiti creation. Topping the charts, Banksy’s “The Rude Lord,” a 1776 Thomas Beach portrait tainted to reveal an extended finger is expected to fetch $ 405,800 (200,000 pounds). Following this, a spray artwork “Rat with Roller” would be available in the Shadow Lounge, a gay bar for $162,320. The image of “Kids on Guns” was auctioned in 2004 for 600 pounds but now its priced around $60,874 at Sotheby’s.
