Robbie Williams collects Banksy: auctioning three of his works by the renowned street artist

Three works by Banksy that are part of the collection of one of the UK’s most famous pop singers, Robbie Williams, will go up for auction at Sotheby ’s in London on March 2, 2022. The star is in fact also an avid collector, an aspect that has remained unknown to the public until now and that has now become known with the sale of three works by the well-known street artist who is also British.

Thus Kissing Coppers, Vandalized Oils (Choppers) and Girl with Baloon will go to auction. The first depicts two policemen in a passionate kiss, the second depicts two military helicopters bullying their way into a peaceful landscape, and the last has been considered the favorite artwork of British citizens and depicts a little girl to whom a red balloon flies.

According to experts, the combined sale of the three works could reach ten million dollars when considering that Kissing Coppers is estimated between $2.5 and $3.5 million, Vandalized Oils (Choppers) is estimated between $2.5 and $3.5 million, and Girl with Balloon estimated between $2 and $3 million. The latter features the same subject as the work that self-destructed during an auction in 2018 but this time it is done on metal.

“I think they are some of his best paintings and I love how closely they are tied to the places where they were made. As a collector of Banksy’s work you become part of a larger cultural movement. I love Banksy’s art. It is iconic and impactful,” said the well-known singer.
