Girl with Balloon was released in two editions: 150 signed prints and 600 unsigned prints.
Furthermore, Banksy released an Artist’s Proofs Edition of 88 signed prints into 4 rare colorways including Purple, Pink and Gold.
 
Girl with Balloon is the most iconic of all Banksy Prints, and its value trajectory in the secondary market is a good reflection of this.
 
Girl with Balloon (unsigned) is the most sold print by Banksy at auction, with 7 lots sold in 2022 as of 30 June 2022, 13 lots sold in 2020 and 20 lots sold in 2021. It broke a new record over USD 450,000 at Bonhams on 24 March 2021. There is a strong disparity in achieved prices at auction mostly due to condition issues. Obviously, prints which are not in excellent condition do not sell at a premium. There is a very strong disparity in observed auction prices for this particular edition.
