Banksy collector from south Essex to part with three original works at auction
AN Essex art dealer has decided to part with three original works by street artist Banksy at auction - which are now set to fetch over £1 million. The trio of artworks - including two pieces which were saved from destruction - are being sold by Banksy collector John Brandler. Mr Brandler, who owns the Brandler Galleries in Brentwood, currently boasts 13 Banksy pieces in his £25 million collection. DJ on a Cloud (1999) - One of Banksy's earliest known wall paintings, created during a two-week commission in the hallway of a shop (Image: Hansons Auctioneers / SWNS) But he has now decided to sell three pieces by the elusive street artist, which will go under the hammer at Hansons Auctioneers, in Etwall, Derbys. Among them is DJ on a Cloud from 1999, a rare early piece which was rescued from being thrown out when a shop in Bath was being cleared. It is one of Banksy's earliest known wall paintings and is expected to fetch between £350,000–£450,000 when it is sold on June 13. Another called Two Rats with Saw from 2003, which was also spared from the scrap heap before it was recovered and preserved, could fetch £145,000–£165,000. Both pieces have since gone on to tour the world and will are being offered for public sale for the first time in the "landmark" auction.

It is also set to fetch £350,000–£450,000. Mr Brandler also famously owns Seasons Greetings, the only known Banksy artwork to have inspired a full-length play: Port Talbot Gotta Banksy. He said: 'Banksy is the only artist I know of whose single painting inspired a stage production. 'It shows the cultural weight his work carries - and these three pieces are no exception. "They very nearly disappeared forever. Instead, they're now part of modern art history.' DJ on a Cloud was created during a two-week commission in the hallway of a shop on Walcot Street, Bath. This now-iconic work was moments away from being discarded before it was salvaged from a door panel just before being dumped. Family Target is a spray paint on canvas work said to depict Banksy's "signature themes of family, violence and social critique." Two Rats with Saw was left behind in an office when Banksy parted ways with his first business partner Jon Swinstead All three pieces boast "exceptional exhibition history" having featured in major global exhibitions from Rome and Palermo to New York's Bowery and Broadway between 2019 and 2023. Charles Hanson, owner of Hansons Auctioneers, said: 'These are more than artworks - they are survivors, cultural landmarks, and provocations all rolled into one. "We're proud to be offering them to a global audience. "Banksy's work continues to hold a mirror up to society in a way that's both playful and powerful - and collectors have responded to that message in extraordinary ways.' Banksy, born in 1974, is the anonymous British artist and political activist known for his stencil-based street art. Often laced with satire and social commentary, his work has appeared on buildings, bridges and public spaces worldwide - sparking debate and reshaping the art world. The works will be sold as part of Hansons 20th Century, Modern Art & Design Auction on June 13 with bidding available worldwide online and in person.

A hunt for Banksy's new lighthouse artwork leads to the south of France
MARSEILLE, France (AP) — Images of an enigmatic new work by elusive street artist Banksy set off debate about its meaning — and a hunt for its location that ended Friday in the south of France. It started with photos on the artist's Instagram site showing a stenciled lighthouse on a wall and the words 'I want to be what you saw in me.' The stenciled lighthouse gives the illusion of being the shadow of a bollard standing near the wall. A photo posted Thursday on Instagram, where Banksy usually posts new works, shows a couple walking two dogs past the artwork. Banksy, who has left his mark on buildings from London to Los Angeles to Ukraine to the West Bank, did not disclose the work's location. After online speculation suggested it could be in Marseille, southern France, The Associated Press tracked it down in a street near the city's port. Some speculated the quote could be inspired by 'Softly,' a song by Tennessee-based country band Lonestar, which features the lyric: 'I want to be what you see in me. I want to love you the way that you love me.' Banksy, who has never confirmed his full identity, began his career spray-painting buildings in Bristol, England, and has become one of the world's best-known artists. His mischievous and often satirical images include two male police officers kissing, armed riot police with yellow smiley faces and a chimpanzee with a sign bearing the words, 'Laugh now, but one day I'll be in charge.' His work has sold for millions of dollars at auction, and past murals on outdoor sites have often been stolen or removed by building owners soon after going up. In December 2023, after Banksy stenciled military drones on a stop sign in south London, a man was photographed taking down the sign with bolt cutters. Police later arrested two men on suspicion of theft and criminal damage. In March 2024, an environmentally themed work on a wall beside a tree in north London was splashed with paint, covered with plastic sheeting and fenced off within days of being created.
