Sotheby's 'Dignity under the Hammer' protest

Old Bond St, London. Wed 1 Jul 2015

  

 
 Vera talks to a man going to the auction about the protest and gives him a flyer

 Adam shouts and claps

 'I want to LIVE - NOT just exist' and Francis Bacon's 'Study for a PopeI' which failed to sell against a £25-35m estimate.

 A woman walks in to Sotheby's past an image of the Francis Bacon triptych which sold for £13m later in the evening

 Ian Bone tries to hook the barrier rope with his walking stick

Jane Nichol with her water pistol

Others too make a lot of noise as police attempt to move them away
 
 

 
      
Sotheby's employees begin to get a bit agitated and complain to police about the protest 

  

 Ian Bone speaks but holds the microphone to his ear 

Its a Dada moment 

or perhaps he is hearing messages... 

 

Strawberry Theives Socialist Choir sing a couple of songs 

'Protest is a Right' 

 Protest is a Right states the banner outside Sotheby's
