Girl with Balloon (unsigned) Market Considerations
Among all contemporary prints, few have achieved the liquidity and visibility of Girl with Balloon. With more than 90 public auction results over the past six years across every major house, the work functions as a near-perfect barometer of the artist’s market and of the wider print segment itself.
Between 2019 and early 2020, Girl with Balloon (unsigned) typically traded between USD 60,000 and USD 130,000, which was already significant for a recent edition of 600, unsigned. Then, in 2020–2021, global enthusiasm for Banksy collided with speculative demand for multiples, in the context of a market pivoting online granting more access to Banksy prints globally. As a consequence, prices exploded, culminating in record results such as GBP 300,250 (USD 401,000) at Bonhams in London on 15 December 2020, and an exceptional USD 450,312 at Bonhams in Los Angeles on 24 March 2021. These peaks correspond to a moment when Banksy prints were treated as both accessible art and financial assets.
By mid-2022, the frenzy cooled. Prices settled into a narrower range, typically USD 130,000 to USD 200,000, with fewer dramatic outliers. Remarkably, the print’s extraordinary liquidity persisted, demonstrating an indication of collector confidence, but the speculative premium dissipated as the market matured.
Recent data show remarkable stability. In 2024–2025, Girl with Balloon (unsigned) consistently trades between USD 85,000 and USD 120,000, regardless of edition number, geography or auction house. This equilibrium reflects the market’s normalization: the print has shifted from speculative object to established blue-chip edition, maintaining healthy turnover and international demand across Sotheby’s, Christie’s, Phillips, Bonhams, and Forum Auctions.
In essence, Girl with Balloon (unsigned) has evolved from a speculative trophy into a mature, reference-grade asset within contemporary print collecting. It remains the most traded Banksy print globally, offering clarity, depth, and resilience: three qualities that define a true market classic.
Banksquiat, 2019
Banksquiat depicts a Ferris wheel in which all the carriages have been replaced by Basquiat’s famous crown motif. By referencing Basquiat so openly, Banksy seems to be aligning himself with the tradition of street art as high art, which arguably has its origins in the work of Basquiat whose career was launched by his many interventions in the urban environment. Banksquiat was released in 2019 in two editions of 300 signed prints each: Banksquiat (Black), and Banksquiat (Grey).
