I just stopped by Santa Monica Auctions and checked out some of the prints that will be auctioned off this Sunday (note: you can bid online). I was surprised by how many BoingBoing-y pieces were in the collection; artists we've blogged about many times.
In this post, some of my favorites among works up for bidding. Artists include Banksy, Andy Warhol, Bill Barminski, whose work we've featured on Boing Boing Video; Takashi Murakami, Ed Ruscha, Damien Hirst, and the beat-era photographer Charles Brittin, who worked in Venice, California in the 1950s.
Above, Warhol's "Self-Portrait with Mick Jagger's Gun," 1975. More images follow below.
