Bidders hungry for big-name artists
DALLAS — Bidders’ appetites for big-name artists exceeded all expectations in Heritage Auctions’ recent $2 million Prints & Multiples event.
Artworks by Andy Warhol, KAWS, Banksy and Damien Hirst all, 1985, sold for a staggering $225,000 against a $120,000 estimate. 2006, by Banksy, was expected to sell for $8,000 until 23 bids pushed the sale price to $57,500, fully seven times its pre-auction estimate.
