Banksy’s NOLA exists in several formats. The regular release consists of standard signed and unsigned prints produced in larger editions.
Beyond its rarity, the piece is tied to Banksy’s New Orleans interventions after Hurricane Katrina, an increasingly recognised chapter of his career.
For investors this combination of one-off status, unpublished colourway and cultural significance positions the work among the most desirable Banksy prints.
