Press will be invited to preview and photograph selected urban art lots
prior to the sale at Bonhams later this next month. These lots include work

many more. A fully hand-painted Cream of Tomato Soup by Banksy (estimate
£60,000-80,000) will be one of the Banksy works on view. The image draws
upon Andy Warhol’s series of Campbell soup cans - one of the most
recognizable and iconic images of the 20th century.

surfboards designed by a cast of established and up-and-coming artists and
stars in aid of Surfers Against Sewage. Lots include designs by: Sir Paul
McCartney, Conrad Shawcross, Tracey Emin and Gavin Turk. Surfboard designs
by urban artists will export their distinctive street style to the coast.
Works by Pure Evil, Eine and Mau Mau and Nick Walker are among the
surfboards available to photograph.

Urban artists Pure Evil and Mau Mau, and Bonhams Urban Art specialist
Gareth Williams will be available to photograph.
