“Street Art” features works from graffiti artist Banksy and more

Julien’s Auctions presents “Street Art,” a curated collection of some of the most important and revolutionary works created originally in the shadows, on the streets and walls of urban public spaces that display the power of this genre.

The auction features a collection featuring some of the most talked about and controversial artists of our time whose works have changed the world and established the Street Art phenomenon. They include Banksy, Invader, RETNA, Jamie Reid, Billy Morrison, Louis Waldon, Jeff Hamilton, and Jorge Jimenez-Deredia and many others.

Banksy

Iconic works of Banksy will headline this auction event with “Gangsta Rat Live,” an original aerosol on metal door-mounted in an acrylic shadowbox frame. Banksy’s “Turf War – Police Van Chimp” London Stencil Painting, an original aerosol painting on glass, executed by Banksy as part of his “Turf War” exhibition, which was staged in an abandoned London warehouse in the summer of 2003 will also go under the hammer.

“Mayfair Paparazzi Rat” is an original Banksy aerosol painting executed on a wooden door panel on Trebeck Street in the Mayfair District of London, England in circa 2006. The door is believed to have originally been part of a restaurant knowns as Tiddy Dols Eating House (reportedly named after an 18th century gingerbread seller) and is now the home of an exclusive private members club called Loulou’s that has hosted such celebrities as Taylor Swift, Tom Cruise, and Kate Middleton.

French Street Artist Invader

Invader’s signature ceramic tile creations of arcade game aliens such as Space Invaders and other popular video games have captivated the art and auction world. Five of them will be come down to Earth at Julien’s Street Art auction including Invader’s original “POTI-50″. This mosaic was installed last year in Potosí, Bolivia, a town 4,000 feet above sea level that was affixed to the side of a building on Roncal street (across from the Plaza Waychu) in Potosi, Bolivia in 2022, in celebration of his 4,000th mosaic.
