Sotheby's Art Auctions โข LONDON ๐ฌ๐ง, by erik on Sept 20, 2018 16:11:24 GMT 1, Considering that little monkey who fetched over 400k recentely, will this Girl With Balloon be the first Banksy to break 1 mill at auction? Like jonny said could be 1 mil +. At these prices we might see a few more coming up, another one in the Honk Kong sale Sorry, missed jonnyโs ยซ1 mil+ยป
Several other small canvasses in the upcoming auctions as well.

Thanks, if you see any with good provenance can you throw up a link. The estimates for Banksy originals are all over the place. They don't seem to go by the last few results, always under. If you go by the monkey one this should be about 600,000 to 800,000 estimate.

Sotheby's Art Auctions โข LONDON ๐ฌ๐ง, by met on Oct 3, 2018 12:47:00 GMT 1, Oh wow, have a look at these lots. Banksy, KAWS, Warhol, Haring, etc. Banksy, GIRL WITH BALLOON signed and dedicated on the reverse spray paint and acrylic on canvas, mounted on board, in artist's frame 101 by 78 by 18 cm. 39 3/4 by 30 3/4 by 7 in. Executed in 2006, this work is unique. Estimate, 200,000 to 300,000 GBP. www.sothebys.com/en/auctions/2018/contemporary-art-evening-auction-l18024.html?locale=en#&page=all&sort=lotSortNum-asc&viewMode=list&lot=67&scroll=10440
What this thread lacks is a discussion about the particular variant of the 2006 Girl With Balloon image being auctioned on Friday.
Here's a photo I took yesterday evening at Sotheby's:
Contrast it with the screenprint:
When comparing the above two works, the different number of fingers visible on the girl's right hand is immediately noticeable, along with the distinct details of her clothing and hair.
More importantly, however, see the differences in hand position of the outstretched left arm. The result, in my view, is a loss of ambiguity for the 2006 canvas. It feels directive to me, suggesting more strongly that the wind has blown the balloon from the girl's hand.
The print version of the image is arguably stronger, since it allows for a broader interpretation โ including one where the balloon might instead have been willingly released. If you love something, set it free. Note as well the differences in facial expression โ and therefore the mood evoked by each piece. In the 2006 canvas, the girl comes across as irritated. In the print, she looks melancholic or perhaps ambivalent, which I believe offers greater interest.

I have given up trying to have a conversation on any subject on here.
While 99.99% of the users here are great folk, it always ends up in a slagging match with the other 0.01%

I don't think it's the quality of the shading that's in question. It's more that the personality is slightly lost in the girl's face and body language. She looks stiff and unfeeling.
Still a nice piece though!
