Banksy’s Dog Art Sells At Sotheby’s

In October I posted about poor Francis Barraud, the original painter of His Master’s Voice, who was denied a copyright to his painting and went on to sell it and the rights for a mere £100 to an RCA manager.

Today at Sotheby’s London, Banky’s spraypainted and stenciled riff on the image, HMV Dog, sold for £65,5000 (estimate was £30,000 – 40,000). That’s $133,888.55 for those keeping score at home. I wonder if RCA has a claim?

    Banksy Prints – Diana Ten Pound Note
    Hi Everyone!
    I am looking to sell some of my Banksy collection – Di-Faced Tenners.
    They are in perfect condition (mint) and I have kept them in an acid free folder and my house is smoke free.
    For photos please see here :

    I have uploaded a video showing the note to Youtube.
    The quality is not great and does not do justice to the detail of the actual print. For better quality images please see the photos!
