Untitled (2004)
''Untitled (2004)'' is a work by graffiti artist Banksy. In February 2007 it was sold at Sothebys London for £33,600 during a two-day action that included three other works by Banksy, all of which sold for unprecedented amounts: ''Bomb Middle England'' (sold for £102,000), ''Ballerina with Action Man Parts'' (£96,000) and ''Glory'' (£72,000). To coincide with the second day of auctions, Banksy updated his website with a new image of an auction house scene showing people bidding on a picture that said: ''“I Can’t Believe You Morons Actually Buy This Shit.”'' In October 2007, a separate untitled work by Banksy, featuring a classically dressed painter poised with his brushes before an easel in the midst of artistic endeavour, was set to be auctioned at London's Lazarides Soho House for an estimated £50,000.
