Urban Art

Since our inaugural Urban Art auction in February 2008, Bonhams have consistently proved to be the market leader in this rapidly growing sector, achieving a number of world-record prices in the process. Our regular auctions dedicated to street art include the work of some of the biggest names in the field, such as Banksy, Blek le Rat, Shepard Fairey, JR and Os Gemeos, whilst also introducing emerging artists appearing at auction for the first time. Featuring paintings, sculpture, photography and multiples, these sharply curated auctions aim to include the best quality works by a wide variety of artists from around the world. With an increasingly international profile, Urban Art continues to be one of the most exciting and rapidly developing sectors of the art market.
