Paul Insect 2007 "Bullion Bar (Bite)" Edition 7 of 15 & Original Exhibition Book

A Holy Grail Piece of 2000s British Urban Art History

Up for acquisition is an exceptionally rare, complete set from Paul Insect’s legendary 2007 Bullion exhibition at the Lazarides Gallery in London. This lot includes the highly coveted "Bullion Bar (Bite)" sculptural multiple and the original, pristine hardcover exhibition book.

The Bullion show is famous in the street art world for an unprecedented event: the entire exhibition was reportedly purchased by Damien Hirst for £500,000 before the doors even opened to the public. Because of this immediate buyout, pieces from this era rarely hit the secondary market, making this an extraordinary opportunity for serious collectors of Paul Insect, Banksy, and the Lazarides-era movement.

The Artwork:

Title: Bullion Bar (Bite)

The Book:

Title: Paul Insect: BULLION

Publisher: Lazarides Gallery (2007)

Edition Size: Limited edition of only 500 copies produced worldwide

Condition: Excellent, unblemished condition. Features high-quality plates of the exhibition, including a double-page spread featuring this exact bullion bar design.

Condition Report & Provenance:

The piece retains its brilliant, high-polish gold finish and the deeply textured "bite" mark.

Please note: There is a small scratch located in the corner of the bullion bar. This was left by a previous owner who attempted to test the piece to see if it was solid, pure gold—a highly fitting, almost poetic bit of provenance for an artwork directly commenting on greed, value, and commodity! Otherwise, the piece is in spectacular display condition.

The inclusion of the original exhibition book alongside the physical edition ensures the historical narrative and provenance of this set remain intact.

Please review all photographs carefully as they represent the exact items you will receive. The piece will be shipped fully insured with tracking and signature required upon delivery.
