CASH IN THE BANKSY
Banksys owned by Robbie Williams set for auction & could fetch £9MILLION
THREE Banksy artworks owned by Robbie Williams are to go on auction — with each worth £3million.
The pieces — Girl With Balloon, Kissing Coppers and Vandalised Oils (Choppers) — are versions of the graffiti artist’s original street works.
Robbie’s Girl With Balloon is a version on metal of an image that first appeared in 2002 under Waterloo Bridge.
Another copy of the picture partly self-shredded at the end of an auction in 2018 after it was sold for £1.1million.
Singer Robbie, 47, said: “I believe they are some of his best paintings and I love how closely linked they are to the street pieces.”
The three paintings will be shown at Sotheby’s in New York before going to Hong Kong and then back to London for sale.
