Roseberys’ first Prints & Multiples auction of 2026 is led by two significant private collections, spanning post-war modernism to contemporary street art. Highlights include works from the Jeffrey Judelson Collection and a private collection of prints assembled by a former employee of Pictures on Walls, the pioneering publisher of Banksy editions prior to its closure in 2017.
“Following Roseberys’ record-setting sale of Andy Warhol’s Superman, which achieved a landmark result for a print at the auction house, we are seeing a marked increase in the quality of works being consigned, alongside a growing number of distinguished private collections coming to market.”
Ed Plackett, Head of Prints & Multiples
The Jeffrey Judelson Collection
Assorted prints from the Jeffrey Judelson Collection
The Jeffrey Judelson Collection comprises 58 prints by artists including Pablo Picasso, Marc Chagall, Oskar Kokoschka, Emil Nolde, Henry Moore, Barbara Hepworth, John Piper and Walter Sickert, with a combined high estimate of £56,400.
Collected over more than sixty years, the collection reflects Judelson’s intellectual curiosity and sensitivity to draughtsmanship, expression and narrative. A polyglot, writer and teacher, Judelson acquired works across Europe and Britain, with a particular interest in figurative and expressive printmaking from the late nineteenth to mid-twentieth centuries. Roseberys previously sold Judelson’s collection of paintings and works on paper in December, achieving a total of £36,240.
Lot 33: Pablo Picasso, Spanish 1881-1973, Figure, from: Le Manuscrit Autographe, 1929
The collection is led by a signed Picasso lithograph from Le Manuscrit Autographe, estimated at £5,000-£7,000. Rendered with economy of line and flattened form, the work exemplifies Picasso’s late 1920s graphic style.
Lot 38: Marc Chagall, Russian/ French 1887-1985, Grabs des Vaters, 1923
Additional highlights include Emil Nolde’s Cathedral Petri-und Patrocli-Turm in Soest, an expressive etching with aquatint, and Marc Chagall’s Grabs des Vaters, an etching and drypoint depicting his father’s grave in Vitebsk, from the autobiographical series developed in Berlin in the early 1920s.
Lot 4: Dame Barbara Hepworth, British 1903-1975, Untitled (Mycenae), 1958
British works include Augustus John’s Portrait of John Hope-Johnstone, Barbara Hepworth’s Mycenae (1958), an early colour lithograph linked to her sculptural practice, and Henry Moore’s Seventeen Reclining Figures with Architectural Back, which translates his sculptural language into rhythmic two-dimensional form.
Property of a Former Employee of Pictures on Walls
The Pictures on Walls Collection has been assembled over two decades by a former employee of Pictures on Walls, and includes works by Banksy, Ben Eine, D*Face, Dolk and Sick Boy.
Founded in 2003 by a collective including Banksy, Ben Eine, D*Face and Faile, Pictures on Walls sought to democratise access to street art by producing affordable editions distributed via an online reservation system. The organisation was instrumental in pioneering new print techniques, including foil blocking, patterned embossing and the use of non-solvent-based inks, while remaining artist-led throughout its operation.
Lot 349: Banksy, British, b.1974, Have a nice day, (Sleazenation) 2003;
The collection is led by a signed Banksy Have a Nice Day print, estimated at £2,000-£3,000, featuring the iconic ‘happy chopper’ motif first seen as a mural in Whitecross Street Market, London, in 2002. The image has since become one of Banksy’s most recognisable anti-war symbols.
Lot 351: Banksy, British, b.1974 and Ben Eine, British, b.1970 The Cans Festival, 2008
Estimate: £1,000 - £1,500
Further highlights include a Banksy and Ben Eine poster for the 2008 Cans Festival, signed and dated by Ben Eine. The festival, held in the Leake Street tunnel beneath Waterloo Station, was curated by Banksy and brought together leading international street artists in a landmark moment for the movement.
Sale Highlights
Further sale highlights include a group of blue-chip post-war and contemporary prints led by David Hockney, Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein.
Lot 125: David Hockney OM CH RA, British b.1937- In The Studio, 2019
David Hockney’s In the Studio (2019), a large-scale signed digital inkjet print from the edition of 35, is offered with provenance from Annely Juda Gallery and Lindsey Ingram Gallery and is estimated at £100,000-£150,000.
Lot 307: Andy Warhol, American 1928-1987, Mick Jagger, (F and S II.141), 1975
Two iconic portraits of Mick Jagger by Andy Warhol follow, both from 1975 and signed by both artist and sitter. The works mark fifty years since Jagger posed for Warhol, and include one of the most celebrated and immediately recognisable compositions from the series, distinguished by its direct, expressive portrayal of the musician.
Lot 305: Roy Lichtenstein, American, 1923-1997 Shipboard Girl, 1965
Completing the group is Roy Lichtenstein’s Shipboard Girl (1965), an offset lithograph published by Leo Castelli Gallery and formerly from Castelli’s own private collection. With its impeccable provenance and early Pop Art date, the print represents a particularly significant example of Lichtenstein’s work and underscores Castelli’s pivotal role in shaping the post-war American art canon.
