British artist, dealer, and gallerist Steve Lazarides recently marked a career change with a sale. After over 20 years of working with graffiti artist Banksy, including time as his manager and agent, Lazarides intends to return to his previous career as a photographer. On Oct. 31, Julien\u2019s Auctions offered 173 prints, stencils, and other ephemera collected by Lazarides during his work with Banksy in a sale called \u201cUnder Duress: The Banksy Archive of Steve Lazarides.\u201d<\/a> Expected to make over a million dollars, the auction made a total of about $1.4 million.<\/p>\n

\n

Banksy’s “Girl with Balloon,” sold for $104,000.<\/p>\n

The top lot was a proof print of Banksy\u2019s \u201cGirl with Balloon,\u201d<\/a> which sold for $104,000. British newspaper The Guardian<\/em> reported<\/a> that online bids for the print reached $60,000, its low presale estimate, before the auction began. \u201cGirl with Balloon\u201d is one of Banksy\u2019s most famous prints, setting a record in 2016<\/a> with a sale price of $104,750. A \u201cGirl with Balloon\u201d painting famously sold at Sotheby\u2019s in London in 2018\u2014and was immediately run through a paper shredder<\/a> in a stunt planned by Banksy, which Lazarides told The Guardian<\/em> “Earns Banksy a place in art history,\u201d calling it \u201cone of the strongest pieces of performance art I\u2019ve seen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n

This hand-cut stencil featuring a chimp, a favorite motif of Banksy\u2019s, sold for $35,750.<\/p>\n

Julien's Auctions<\/p>\n<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Provocative antics, social commentary, subversive humor, and the mystique surrounding his identity make Banksy one of the most famous artists working today\u2014and make his art worth high value, at least if you can prove authenticity. (Lazarides provided certificates of authenticity for the items that sold at the auction.) And it\u2019s not just the art that sells for high prices. A hand-cut stencil featuring a chimp<\/a>, a favorite motif of Banksy\u2019s, sold for $35,750. Concept sketches drawn on a manila envelope<\/a> surpassed its high estimate at $52,000. A pair of limited-edition Puma sneakers<\/a> worn by Banksy made for his 2003 exhibit \u201cTurf War\u201d sold for $32,500. Even a group of 15 burner phones<\/a> Lazarides used to communicate with Banksy sold for $15,875. <\/p>\n

But just because Lazarides is starting a new chapter in his career doesn\u2019t mean he\u2019s erasing the past. He told The Guardian<\/em>, \u201cI\u2019ve kept a couple of bits that were directed at me\u2026I don\u2019t need 1,000 prints to prove I worked with Banksy.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perhaps parts of his former collection will prove to be fortunate investments for other collectors.<\/p>\n
