ToyCyte: Toy Culture Collected

Damn. Damn. Damn. The Phillips de Pury & Company Urban Art Auction just keeps getting better and better. Please see posts about Buff Monster’s piece here and Suckadelic’s piece here. I gave them their own posts because it’s Buff’s first auction (not counting eBay) and the Suckadelic piece is just unbelievably cool. In truth there’s so many great artists involved that I’d need a full day to blog it with justice. Some of the names: Bansky, Bast, Beejoir, Blek le Rat, DFace, Faile, Shepard Fairey, Insect, Invader, Dave Kinsey, Adam Neate, Nick Walker, Barry McGee, Micallef, Skullphone, Suckadelic, Swoon, Pop Soda/RealXHead, BLObPUS, UrbanMedium, Le Merde, Bob Conge, Kirkland Jue, Mark Nagata and Bwana Spoons.

I’ve got a few exclusive pics of the KAWS pieces which will be offered at auction. There’s a yellow Chum, a 1999 Companion and a Kate Moss ad art piece. Get your bids ready because you know you’ll be competing with Kanye. The auction takes place in London on September 6th and New York on October 25th. The complete online catalog will be available at phillipsdepury.com next Monday with the art toys starting at lot #59 and urban art lots beginning at #200.
