Included was famous painting titled Girl with Balloon, which has been on display in London.<\/p>\n<p>Considered one of the elusive artist\u2019s most signature images, the piece was deemed rare as it has been typically presented on a single canvas. Referred to as diptych, the painting is on two panels.<\/p>\n<p>The painting dates to 2005 and was valued at up to $4.7 million.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think Banksy is like the Robin Hood of the art world because he just appears where he\u2019s needed most,\u201d expressed Katharine Arnold, Christie\u2019s specialist. \u201cYou know, he speaks truth to power in a way that few others do and I think that makes him a hero for the everyman. In a way, he is someone that we all like to claim as our own.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_2537444\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-2537444\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-2537444\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/GettyImages-1051963008-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"Sotheby&#039;s employees view &#039;Love is in the Bin&#039; by British artist Banksy during a media preview at Sotheby&#039;s auction house in London, United Kingdom.
