Key Takeaways
Bomb Love (unsigned)
The auction market for Bomb Love unsigned provides a particularly clear illustration of the expansion, correction and subsequent normalization of Banksy’s print market. With 59 qualifying transactions recorded since 2018, it is a comparatively liquid edition, appearing regularly at both major international auction houses and specialist sales. This volume offers a meaningful basis for assessing the evolution of its market value.
Following relatively measured trading in 2018 and 2019, prices accelerated dramatically during the Banksy market boom of 2020–2021. Demand intensified, auction activity expanded and several impressions achieved prices far beyond earlier benchmarks. The market reached its most extreme point in April 2022, when an unsigned example sold for £75,860 at SBI Art Auction. This exceptional result stands well above the broader distribution of sales and should be regarded as a speculative outlier rather than a sustainable valuation benchmark.
From late 2022 onward, the market underwent a substantial correction. Prices declined progressively through 2023 and 2024 before settling into a narrower and more consistent range during 2025. The 2025 median stood at £13,054 across eight qualifying sales, while the 2026 median reached £13,580 across three sales—an increase of 4%. Although still far below the auction record, this modest improvement suggests that the market may be establishing a floor after several years of repricing.
The latest sale, at £13,580 in July 2026, represents just 18% of the edition’s historical peak. This figure is severe when measured against the exuberance of 2022, but the comparison is somewhat distorted by the exceptional nature of the record result. More importantly, transaction activity remains healthy, demonstrating that collector demand has not disappeared. Bomb Love unsigned has returned to a more disciplined valuation framework and continues to offer a relatively accessible entry point into one of Banksy’s most recognizable and politically resonant images.
Bomb Love (signed)
The signed edition of Bomb Love occupies a distinctly narrower segment of the market. Only 11 qualifying transactions have been recorded since 2018, compared with 59 for the unsigned edition. This scarcity enhances its desirability, but the limited number of sales also means that annual medians must be interpreted cautiously: a single particularly strong or weak result can materially influence the apparent direction of the market.
Signed examples experienced an especially dramatic appreciation during the speculative expansion of 2020 and 2021. The auction record was established at Forum Auctions in October 2020, when an impression sold for £132,660. As with the record for the unsigned edition, this result reflects the exceptional conditions of the pandemic-era Banksy boom and sits considerably above the values achieved under more normalized market conditions.
The subsequent correction has been pronounced. With no qualifying sale in 2024, the most relevant comparison is between the £63,000 median recorded in 2023 and the £33,745 median achieved across two sales in 2025, representing a decline of 46%. Nevertheless, the most recent example sold for £44,450 at Christie’s London in September 2025, comfortably above that year’s median and confirming that strong impressions can still command a meaningful premium.
The latest result represents approximately 34% of the historical auction peak. While this indicates a considerable repricing, the signed market should not be judged through percentage declines alone. Its limited supply, the iconic status of the image and the substantial premium attached to Banksy’s signature remain important supports. The signed edition is less liquid and inherently more volatile than the unsigned version, but well-presented examples with strong condition and provenance continue to attract serious collector interest.
