Bonhams announces major Upcoming Lot for its 20th and 21st Century Art Evening Sale on 18 November 2026.

Painted in 2006 and exhibited at Barely Legal in Los Angeles that September, Angel is a monumental example of Banksy's stencil painting at a moment when his practice was moving decisively beyond the scale and physical conditions of the street. Measuring more than two meters square, the canvas presents a solitary female figure emerging from an almost absolute black field, her body articulated through pale areas of spray paint and emulsion while the surrounding darkness simultaneously defines and consumes her form.

Girl and Balloon on Found Landscape becomes the third most expensive Banksy work sold at auction

In May 2026, this celebrated motif returned to the center of attention when Girl With Balloon on Found Landscape sold in New York through Fair Warning for $17,940,000, becoming the third-highest auction result achieved for the artist. The sale represented more than another impressive market milestone. It offered collectors an exceptionally unusual work that occupies a singular position within Banksy's production: the only known example in which his most recognizable image appears within one of his Crude Oils landscape interventions.

New Banksy sculpture appears on Pall Mall in London

On 30 April 2026, London woke up to what already appears to be one of the most important Banksy interventions in years: a monumental statue installed overnight at the intersection of Waterloo Place and Pall Mall in central London. The sculpture depicts a suited male figure striding forward triumphantly while carrying a large flag that completely covers his face, effectively blinding him. One day later, Banksy confirmed the work through his official Instagram account, immediately transforming speculation into international news.
