Three prints by the guerrilla artist Banksy have failed to sell at auction.
Bomb Hugger, a girl hugging a missile, as well as Toxic Virgin, and Soup Can (Green), both estimated at �4,000 to �6,000, failed to sell.
Morons, a print that pokes fun at the art establishment, fetched �5,250 - �1,000 more than its estimate.
Napalm, based on the Pulitzer prize-winning image of a Vietnamese girl fleeing her village following a napalm attack, fetched �11,000.
The print CND Soldiers also went under the hammer for �3,750.
Tuesday's sale at Sotheby's also included a collection of rare prints by Henri Matisse.
