About
Girl with Balloon is Banksy's most famous stencil street artwork — originally created on a wall on London's South Bank around 2002-2004. The image of a young girl reaching for a red heart-shaped balloon became a global symbol of hope and loss. In 2018, a canvas version entitled Love is in the Bin shredded itself moments after selling at Sotheby's auction for £1.04 million — becoming the most discussed art event in recent history and one of the most valuable works in contemporary art.
