“Show me the Monet” sells for £7.6 million at Sotheby’s Contemporary Art Evening Auction. 21 October 2020

Despite heavy promotion from Sotheby’s, Banksy’s “Show me the Monet” didn’t break the record set by Monkey Parliament a year ago. The hammer landed at 6.4 million GBP, and the buyer has to cough up 7,551,600 GBP, which is the hammer price plus the buyer’s premium.
