"Urban Art at Selfridges provides a unique snap-shot of an evolving sector of the contemporary art market as it emerges from its underground roots. Rarely seen works by Banksy along with dozens more from the leading artists of the Street Art scene will be presented together for the first time.


 


Urban Art at Selfridges will preview 147 works, many of them for the first time, with several works for sale exclusively at Selfridges.


 


Artworks will later be sold by auction at the Village Underground in Shoreditch on 17 June from 6pm. Dreweatts has also sponsored the Elizabeth 798 Fund, to promote the work of up-and-coming urban artists, and will be donating some of the proceeds from the auction to this fund. For more information go to http://www.dnfa.com/urbanart " (Information via Selfridges.com)



The show features 3 pieces from Banksy (one of them hoping to fetch around £500,000 at auction) and includes many other artists such as Seen, Faile, D-Face, Mr Jago, Blek Le Rat, David Choe, Nick Walker and many more!

It will stay at Selfridges until Sunday 1st June, then between 5th - 10th June it will be at The Paintworks Gallery, Bath Road, Bristol, BS4. Finally from the 13th June it will be at Village Underground, 54 Holywell Lane, Shoreditch, London EC2 until the auctions are held. Go have a peek if you can!
