The work sold for £4.6 million, while in a separate sale at Christie’s in New York, Basquiat’s skull painting In This Case (1982) went for $93.1 million. One of the works was Banksy’s Subject to Availability - an oil painting originally featured in the guerrilla exhibition, Banksy versus Bristol Museum (2009), in which the anonymous artist and activist secretly inserted more than 100 of his works into the gallery ’ s displays. In May this year, more than 50 works by street artists including Basquiat, Banksy, Os G êmeos, Keith Haring and Kenny Scharf were brought together online and in Christie’s London galleries for the exhibition, Off the Wall: Basquiat to Banksy. Offered by Christie’s Education in New York, Street Art: From Basquiat to Banksy is a short online course exploring the migration of graffiti from the fringes of the art world to its epicentre ‘Part of what I do and want to do is bring art into everyday life’ - Kenny Scharf
