Serious Graffiti Legends Bringing In Serious Auction Money!

A couple weeks ago the Upper East Side's Doyle New York (an auction house), hosted a street art panel discussion.  Not so crazy right?  But, it "was" the U.E.S., so yes a little out of place. Shouldn't this happen downtown? Not any longer as legendary street art and graffiti is now playing  a serious role with serious art collectors.  
These legends from the 70's and 80's - and even today were showcased at not just this panel discussion but Doyle will host the fabulous works again on October, 16th for a full auction.  It's the first of it's kind in New York and the U.S.  Doyle is showcasing a decoupaged Vespa from Shepard Fairey, Banksy, Barry MCgee, Mr. Brainwash, Faile, KASW, Duster, BAST, Steven Powers, Blek le Rat and more, many more.
