«...The elusive Banksy remains the most bankable name in urban art and works by him carry the two highest estimates in the sale ... A taste of true graffiti art is provided by part of a backdrop for one of the Clash’s “Combat Rock” gigs in 1983, painted by US-born Futura 2000 as the band performed. The untitled piece is estimated at £15,000-£20,000, while Greg Miller’s pop art-inspired “Phantom Lady” is on offer at £6,000-£8,000. Among the best pieces, however, is “Shark” by DNTT (aka Tony D’Amico). While lacking the immediacy of true street art, the 12ft steel, copper and glass predator is every bit as menacing as the real thing. Snap it up for £8,000-£12,000.
