Below is an article I found about graffiti art from the UK Sunday Times by Lindsay Baker. I've followed it with an update on the results from auction house Bonham's first ever auction devoted to Street Art, as well as with images and captions. <h4>How Banksy made graffiti popular with Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt</h4><a href="http://www.banksy.co.uk/">Banksy's</a> works now fetch six-figure sums - how did graffiti art get so mainstream? <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8xsUi0L4AZM8gtedKzsWOWFLKMnKzD9x72qn26mBLywBAdjrSYpF0V4wQdaTX69xqbhj4ShYLyQL8hcJJH9EkWeYsAj1Sf9FPHWAAC15CzSEJYHLW854X9hBnDReqsF0gEmvVMMp1rTpI/s1600-h/art-385_276560a.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163747251348484818" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8xsUi0L4AZM8gtedKzsWOWFLKMnKzD9x72qn26mBLywBAdjrSYpF0V4wQdaTX69xqbhj4ShYLyQL8hcJJH9EkWeYsAj1Sf9FPHWAAC15CzSEJYHLW854X9hBnDReqsF0gEmvVMMp1rTpI/s400/art-385_276560a.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 395px; height: 189px;" /></a> It has that elusive cred factor, is endorsed by the likes of Brangelina, and fetches dizzying prices – there’s no mistaking the frenzy surrounding graffiti art. Still, a few eyebrows were no doubt raised at Bonhams auctioneers when it decided to host a sale of the phenomenon known as urban art. After all, this kind of work in its purest form (on the street rather than on canvas) is illegal.Some examples of Banky's Street Art: <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgACziD7y-FzaFGs2rSZqVOjoFCyOHkjySwmLaOu6ONiUa9GVSMIDfcPvmTJAClqFABYAIRtAnXEjmJVMJ1eGctUG2LO3fyHnbV0-IAVK-GF-5FIX3A43Fz4dEUqpGgWmSfEprWOIPVtD9F/s1600-h/Picture+2.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163749063824683794" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgACziD7y-FzaFGs2rSZqVOjoFCyOHkjySwmLaOu6ONiUa9GVSMIDfcPvmTJAClqFABYAIRtAnXEjmJVMJ1eGctUG2LO3fyHnbV0-IAVK-GF-5FIX3A43Fz4dEUqpGgWmSfEprWOIPVtD9F/s400/Picture+2.png" style="cursor: pointer;" /></a> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX4VaOI_1NbmXCNkheaVjEdejN_0zgaHWyyM5rAjfPX-eyV_WPkr55gvQ5rQZYbwsdDxL4c55quUrTHQUPoKk2iXdekI716fZ-Dya4uiwlbqUHwOyBN36-5_mPnS7GvqHzEfELu4BHRr8d/s1600-h/pissingguard.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163748531248739074" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhX4VaOI_1NbmXCNkheaVjEdejN_0zgaHWyyM5rAjfPX-eyV_WPkr55gvQ5rQZYbwsdDxL4c55quUrTHQUPoKk2iXdekI716fZ-Dya4uiwlbqUHwOyBN36-5_mPnS7GvqHzEfELu4BHRr8d/s400/pissingguard.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;" /></a> However, Gareth Williams, a senior specialist in urban art at Bonhams, says its outsider status – with many of its practitioners, such as Banksy, anonymous – only adds kudos, and value. “Everyone loves a rebel, and their mystique only adds to the attraction.” <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7n4gW1JDJPk8SiPDnopk8Ke-OUOoXryFP_bGvfUGr9p7Ii9xsKo82xuDJmaTK6aS8_sXoDfFQ0m4DREg7uCuceKKcR6K9y2wCiTWqysk6IP8xjBodT_3OZPj4aJSgyuuarm3A6cOnp_GE/s1600-h/bust.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163754273620013874" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7n4gW1JDJPk8SiPDnopk8Ke-OUOoXryFP_bGvfUGr9p7Ii9xsKo82xuDJmaTK6aS8_sXoDfFQ0m4DREg7uCuceKKcR6K9y2wCiTWqysk6IP8xjBodT_3OZPj4aJSgyuuarm3A6cOnp_GE/s400/bust.jpg" style="cursor: pointer; width: 370px; height: 530px;" /></a> Above: Angelina Jolie purchased Banksy's white bust with a bleeding bullet hole in the forehead, at a cost of £40,000 last September.

He also has his own T-shirt label, Flying Eyeball. At 37, Inkie, like many on the scene, has had run-ins with the law over the years, but these days, he is based in London and no longer does anything “naughty”, as he puts it: “I’m too old, and I’ve got a job and a kid now.” Is there a danger that commercial interest will force compromises? “It’s become a lot bigger than I imagined it would,” Inkie admits. “It does make me laugh when design agencies say they want ‘Banksy-style’ graphics.” The urban-art ethos has always been about “reclaiming” public space, or “taking what’s ours”, as Inkie puts it – and you could argue that that’s exactly what these artists are doing now.

"Laugh Now", a 2002 painting by Banksy that stretches about six metres (19.7 feet) in length featuring monkeys wearing sandwich boards which read "Laugh now, but one day we'll be in charge", sold for 228,000 pounds (280,000 euros, 410,000 dollars), above its pre-sale estimate of up to 200,000 pounds. Another highlight of the auction was "Kate Moss", a portrait by Banksy of the British supermodel in the style of Andy Warhol's famous Marilyn Monroe paintings, which sold on Tuesday for 96,000 pounds, more than three times expectations. <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidogMmWISYj9ewAqevOdLlMAnoolmRvHv6GzlAyK9XWCjE00wRZblvCBBZU7eyXgKe-PRbhya2TAfyLrsi0cTQlW5ci5wOa3Hq4Rn5Ld58AqTPH9gc4LUqd56y7k_-KWTZEW9DaN65Cq6j/s1600-h/kate-moss.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5163752860575773474" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidogMmWISYj9ewAqevOdLlMAnoolmRvHv6GzlAyK9XWCjE00wRZblvCBBZU7eyXgKe-PRbhya2TAfyLrsi0cTQlW5ci5wOa3Hq4Rn5Ld58AqTPH9gc4LUqd56y7k_-KWTZEW9DaN65Cq6j/s400/kate-moss.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;" /></a> Above: A series of Kate Moss paintings in the style of Andy Warhol were sold at a Sotheby's art auction for a record £50,400 in October of 2006 "Banksy has arrived in Bond Street," a spokesman for Bonhams told AFP, referring to the posh road where London's auction houses are based, adding that the artist's work had gone into the mainstream. "The result is very satisfying," he said. Bonhams is planning more auctions of urban art in the future, he added. Last month, a wall painted on by Banksy, depicting a classical-looking artist in mostly-grey garb, sold on Internet auction website eBay for 208,100 pounds. Banksy, originally from Bristol, western England, has attracted a global following with his graffiti paintings on the walls of London buildings, and his work has been bought by actress Angelina Jolie and singer Christina Aguilera, among others. Banksy's work is really fabulous, especially his street art. <a href="http://www.banksy.co.uk/">Check out his site here.</a>

It is people’s art, rough and ephemeral. Rough because it was created illegally in public spaces. Ephemeral because its lifespan, subject to external constraints, is necessarily limited. The prohibitions which hit this urban art right from its beginnings in Europe could not stop its expansion during the 1980s. At the end of the decade it had become a veritable fashion phenomenon, in the press and on museum walls. Aside from urban buildings, street furniture and public transport, the graffiti artists created works on canvas, paper or street hoardings which are now prized by a growing number of collectors. The pioneers <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVnG7BhCrEHOcccedqAgOTAYtOMYR9wqE7pvNiDB1DfdSptBnlS0VAsFni0AWOWWTCODSM9ZUXHIyvUeyiXuZdU53Qwop_QodZThi7edp9_BWa5MXNNnzK3x91Ug0geqLf2eptInsWxRo2/s1600-h/basquiat+serigraph.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5070048096391307330" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVnG7BhCrEHOcccedqAgOTAYtOMYR9wqE7pvNiDB1DfdSptBnlS0VAsFni0AWOWWTCODSM9ZUXHIyvUeyiXuZdU53Qwop_QodZThi7edp9_BWa5MXNNnzK3x91Ug0geqLf2eptInsWxRo2/s400/basquiat+serigraph.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;" /></a> above: A Basquiat serigraph The unquestioned star of the genre is <a href="http://web.artprice.com/artistdetails.aspx?L=en&idarti=MjYxMjAwNDA5OTk3NTk=">Jean-Michel BASQUIAT</a> who is racking up million-ticket sales (more than forty). On 15 May last, a mixed-medium 1981 work smashed the artist's record in crossing the 10 million dollar mark! Initially estimated at between 6 million and 8 million dollars, the hammer went down on the lot at 13 million dollars (more than 9.6 million euros, Sotheby’s NY). Warhol’s friend with the fleeting destiny (he died at 27 years) signed his first works in the street under the pseudonym Samo. Today a small pencil or graphite drawing changes hands for between 10,000 and 20,000 euros on average and you'll need between 50,000 and 100,000 euros for a paper-based work in crayon. Prices are higher still for large formats in ink or oil pastel.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhriYdNLAkVcmcBnXWkwgKwYiNmqjo6YNNlDv2no4qbsaebxRmxrYSmqUWgaRQBYh0Nu1vvgCd5TgSit4BuU4M4IY5gGHLmnyJSswqjsdPuUIc3SGdnpCy_quLTujsot9zcLoi1B5abVqcH/s1600-h/haring+silkscreen.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5070048470053462130" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhriYdNLAkVcmcBnXWkwgKwYiNmqjo6YNNlDv2no4qbsaebxRmxrYSmqUWgaRQBYh0Nu1vvgCd5TgSit4BuU4M4IY5gGHLmnyJSswqjsdPuUIc3SGdnpCy_quLTujsot9zcLoi1B5abVqcH/s400/haring+silkscreen.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;" /></a> above: A Keith Haring silkscreen Another Warhol accolyte, <a href="http://web.artprice.com/artistdetails.aspx?L=en&idarti=MjYxMjAwMDgyMDQ1NjY=">Keith HARING</a>, is also a key graffiti name. He doesn’t reach the heights of Basquiat but has shown steady growth over the last four years. On 8 February last, you'd have needed not less than £56,000 to secure a small 1984 acrylic (50x50 cm) at Sotheby’s London.

Only 3 works from the graffiti artist have been put up for auction in ten years! The latest, an untitled acrylic and aerosol painting on a plank of wood, found a buyer for 4,000 euros in October at Artcurial who will auction a spray-painted graffiti canvas entitled Bar code (1983, 137 x 181 cm) for an estimate of between 4,000 and 5,000 euros.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgInPwmg_aDZyf5lSCuw7-F0vDxvaN0XLaZbA4_pT1nn-uZBSqjenpqWvzk0SJncBi_gL6rinasBAPnTQr4f5t5EkIUMB0Dk64uJOYL_-4k_xMk1H51bFEbr-WR1s_kT67Tow9xP0pyJjb/s1600-h/perello.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img alt="" border="0" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5070049062758948994" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgInPwmg_aDZyf5lSCuw7-F0vDxvaN0XLaZbA4_pT1nn-uZBSqjenpqWvzk0SJncBi_gL6rinasBAPnTQr4f5t5EkIUMB0Dk64uJOYL_-4k_xMk1H51bFEbr-WR1s_kT67Tow9xP0pyJjb/s400/perello.jpg" style="cursor: pointer;" /></a> above: A 1963 John Perello acrylic painting, All Are One Graffiti art becomes sought after in France The auction house Artcurial will auction around twenty works by American and French graffiti artists on 6 June.
