Now, BANKSY’S iconic image of Kate Moss will test the pockets of urban art collectors later this month when it comes up for auction. Despite rumours of a credit crunch (had you heard?) Bonhams, which will retail the piece, is confident.

“The Urban Art market remains buoyant judging by the interest this sale has aroused and we are pleased to continue to offer significant works by the most important artists in this field,” said Gareth Williams, head of Bonhams Urban Art department.

As the most notable artist in the sale Banksy’s pieces highly sought after. The Moss images are particularly covetable, being sold intact as a set of six, and are estimated to fetch £100,000 to £150,000.

Also appearing in the sale is Nola Pink by Banksy, which shows girl being rained upon from beneath her umbrella. It was one of a series of works that the artist painted in New Orleans to commemorate the third anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. “Three years after Katrina I wanted to make a statement about the state of the clean up operation,” Banksy was quoted as saying.

The sale will take place on February 24. For a full listing of upcoming sales, plus details of Bonhams specialist departments, go to www.bonhams.com.

    You found the best pic of Kate Moss, and I’m not talking about Banksy’s work.
