Auction Results for Bonhams Street Art Sale
Banksy, "Untitled" ("Laugh Now ..."), Sold for $210,000
This afternoon, Bonhams NY held their "Contemporary Art" auction which featured an array of work, including some prints and originals from Banksy, Nick Walker, and Faile. Despite his recent rash of spray painted publicity around the city, Walker's pieces did not skyrocket like fellow Bristol native Banksy, with his unofficially titled "Laugh Now" original (pictured above) fetching $210,00—although in all fairness, Walker's "Moona Lisa" and "The Morning After" prints beat out both of the art prankster's prints. See the full results below and an exclusive video of a Banksy feeding-frenzy for "Laugh Now" in action:
