Banksy 'Girl with Balloon' Screen Print

Acquired directly from a Shoreditch gallery opening in 2008, this piece hung in a Camden flat for 15 years. The owner — a street art photographer — traded three months of documentation work for it. It's one of the few remaining signed editions in private hands.

This signed Banksy Girl with Balloon screen print comes from the limited edition of one hundred and fifty, authenticated by Pest Control and preserved with unusual care. It was acquired from a Shoreditch gallery opening in 2008 by a street art photographer who traded months of documentation work for the piece, then kept it in a Camden flat as the image moved from underground signal to global emblem. The paper, color, and certificate remain the anchors, but the real force is cultural memory: love, loss, rebellion, and the instant recognition of an image that changed the market around it. For collectors of contemporary art, this is not just a print. It is a timestamp from the moment street art became history.
