Another version of the original street art version one the work was stencil painted in Shoreditch, near Liverpool Street station, and sparked outrage when the owners of a shop proposed to peel it off the wall and send the work straight to auction. In March , Banksy reworked the, by then, extremely high profile stencil to mark the third anniversary of the civil war in Syria.
The redesigned image was used to promote withsyria, a campaign to raise awareness and rally support for the victims of the three-year-long conflict. In this version, the Girl With Balloon appeared with a headscarf to depict a Syrian refugee. Besides Banksy, other celebrities joined forces in the campaign to raise awareness, among them Jonathan Rhys Meyers, Edith Bowman, Peter Gabriel and David Milliband, who all posted pictures of themselves holding a red balloon on their Twitter or Instagram accounts.
Photographs of Syrian children holding red balloons in the style of Banksy's famous balloon girl also went viral.

Why is Girl With Balloon important? A work by British street artist Banksy that sensationally self-shredded just after it sold at auction three years ago fetched The sale price was three times the high estimate.
The piece consists of a half-shredded canvas in an ornate frame bearing a spray-painted image of a girl reaching for a heart-shaped red balloon. Banksy, who has never confirmed his full identity, began his career spray-painting buildings in Bristol, England, and has become one of the world's best-known artists. In , he created a version featuring the girl wearing a headscarf, to support victims of the Syria conflict. Two years later, the artist reworked the design to feature a Union Jack balloon, and offered a free print of it to Bristol locals who voted against the Conservative government.
Banksy first released prints of Girl With Balloon in —05 — there were only signed editions and unsigned editions. They now regularly sell for six-figure sums, including the most expensive Banksy print ever sold.
There are five colour variations for Girl with Balloon , the red balloon is the most iconic but Banksy has also created versions in purple, blue, pink and gold. Read more. In an online poll taken by some 2, people, Girl With Balloon came top in a list of 20 works — beating the likes of David Hockney , Bridget Riley and Stik. The winning bidder went through with the purchase anyway, and the work was renamed Love Is In The Bin — the only original artwork ever to be created live at auction.
We've had a number of Banksy print owners contact us today asking if they shred their artwork will it be worth more. The events of the last 24hrs are a very unique piece of art history. But one opportunistic collector went ahead and shredded their unsigned Girl With Balloon print in hopes of increasing its value. No other artist captures the hearts and minds of the public like he does. However, when Banksy does something crazy like shredding his own artwork, it will naturally have a dramatic effect on values.
We strongly recommend nobody else takes valuable art and tries to cash in on what history will judge a simply brilliant stunt. The Canadian singer Justin Bieber had the girl from Girl With Balloon tattooed onto his arm in and posted a photo of it on his Instagram. Bieber has since removed the Instagram post, but not the tattoo.
Therefore, any prints of the work on the secondary market are very desirable and sought-after with collectors.
