Summer's almost over and the art buying season is about to kick back in.

There will be two forthcoming Saturday@Phillips sales featuring premier examples of urban street art and select pieces of design, contemporary art, photographs, art toys, and vintage watches. The two sales will take place in London on 09.06.08 and in New York on 10.25.08.

"The Saturday@Phillips sale is a quarterly sale held on Saturday mornings that represents work from each of the four departments at Phillips de Pury and features high-quality pieces with estimates of $500 to no more than $20,000. This successful sale has attracted buyers of all ages and interests and has introduced the excitement of buying at auction to a host of new collectors."

The London sale will feature work by Banksy, Bast, DFace, Faile, Shepard Fairey, Insect, KAWS, Barry Mcgee, Skullphone, Chris Johanson, David Kramer, David Shrigley, Swoon, and many others.

Checkout the full catalog here. The price point for a lot of this work seems well within reach for urban professionals looking to get their hands on some well-known street art, not to mention affordable pieces by more well-known contemporary artists.
