BANKSY VALUE: Editions Auction Results

BY

 

Banksy released 18 editions on canvas between 2000 and 2005, each in small edition sizes of 10, 15, or 25. These have long been revered by collectors, because they not only feature some of the most iconic Banksy visuals, but also because they are exceptionally rare.
 
For the most part, editioned canvases were produced to look and “feel” the same, with a few exceptions. Banksy released 4 different color variants of Heavy Weaponryas well as several variations in color or motif on Love Is In The Air, Girl with BalloonMonkey Detonator, Keep It Real, Gangsta Rat, and Avon and Somerset Constabulary.
