A private sale happens out of public view. We offer the work quietly to buyers and collectors we know, the price is agreed before anything changes hands, and if it does not sell, nothing is published and you keep the work. There is no catalogue, no sale date to wait for and no unsold record.
It suits owners for whom discretion matters, works that have been offered before, and anyone who needs certainty over price or timing. Where an auction would do better for the work, we say so, compare the salerooms on your behalf and negotiate the terms. Read how private sales work, or what an auction costs the seller.
We consign across six areas, from a single print to a full collection. Individual artists are in the A to Z.
Most Banksy works that change hands are screenprints. We also handle the unique works: paintings on canvas, works on paper and other one-off pieces made by the artist rather than printed in an edition. They come to market rarely, and they are where discretion matters most.
For any Banksy, and a unique work above all, authentication comes first. Pest Control, the artist’s handling service, issues the certificates buyers require, and without one a work cannot be sold through any reputable route. Banksy authentication explains how the process works.
Tell us what you know about each work and add photographs of it. Up to five works can go in one submission, and the valuation is free.
