Banksy's Girl With Balloon Prints Soar In Auction & Private Sale

Banksy’s Girl With Balloon remains his most iconic image - and one of the most resilient performers in the contemporary print market. In 2024, the average price for signed editions rose by 20%, with top results approaching £290,000. Even in a more selective market, demand has not disappeared; it has simply become more concentrated around his most recognisable works. Just four unsigned and a handful of signed editions sold publicly in 2024, but prices have held firm. That scarcity is fuelling competition, with well-placed examples still exceeding expectations.

Over the past decade, Girl With Balloon prints have achieved over £14 million in auction sales across at least 114 public results. Whether a signed/unsigned edition or an ultra-rare Artist Proof, the work continues to demonstrate global liquidity and collector confidence. Most recently, an unsigned edition sold for £82,550 at Phillips’ June Editions sale - just above its high estimate. If you’re holding one of these works, timing and strategy are key, and it is always recommended to work with a specialist who understands both the public and private sales market.
