DEATH NYC
Banksy "Girl with Balloon" × Murakami Flowers × Gucci Flora
Hand-Signed, Hand-Numbered Limited Edition Pop Art Print
What You Are Getting
An authentic, hand-signed Death NYC limited edition print mashing up three of the most marketable visual signatures in the world — Banksy's "Girl with Balloon" silhouette, Takashi Murakami's smiling rainbow flowers, and the Gucci Flora pattern originally designed by Vittorio Accornero in 1966 for Grace Kelly. The Banksy girl reaches up, but instead of the iconic red heart balloon, her balloon string is anchored to a cluster of grinning Murakami Kaikai Kiki flowers — the entire scene blooming over Gucci's lush botanical wallpaper. Pencil-signed by the artist and hand-numbered on heavyweight textured fine art paper.

About the Work
The composition pulls from three artists who reshaped the relationship between high art and commerce. Banksy's "Girl with Balloon" first appeared as a 2002 stencil on London's South Bank and has since become one of the most-reproduced contemporary images in existence — culminating in the 2018 Sotheby's shredding incident, where the framed work self-destructed seconds after selling for £1.04 million. Death NYC swaps Banksy's heart balloon for Takashi Murakami's smiling rainbow flowers — Murakami's signature Kaikai Kiki motif and the visual cornerstone of his Superflat movement.
The backdrop is the Gucci Flora pattern, designed by Italian illustrator Vittorio Accornero in 1966 at the personal request of Grace Kelly when she visited the Gucci boutique in Milan. The print became one of the most enduring motifs in luxury fashion history. The piece reads as a quiet meditation on innocence, commercialism, and how every counter-cultural image eventually gets absorbed into the luxury machine — three artists, three eras, one composition.
About the Artist
Death NYC is an anonymous New York-based street and pop artist who has been releasing limited edition signed prints since the early 2010s. The work is defined by aggressive appropriation — Banksy, Murakami, KAWS, Haring, Basquiat, and luxury houses including Louis Vuitton, Chanel, Hermès, and Gucci — recombined into single high-density compositions.
Death NYC editions are pencil-signed and hand-numbered, typically in editions of 45 or 100, and have been collected and resold across major secondary markets including Heritage Auctions, Artsy, and 1stDibs. For collectors who already own Banksy or Murakami originals, Death NYC works function as a high-density tribute and conversation piece — three artists, one sheet.

How does Gauntlet Gallery verify authenticity?
Every piece is reviewed against available authentication documentation before listing. For signed prints we cross-reference COA issuers, publisher records, edition counts, signature placement, and known release details. For music and space memorabilia we work with Beckett, JSA, PSA, and Zarelli Space Authentication. Items that cannot be documented to our standard are not listed.
How do you document condition?
We photograph each print under consistent lighting to show the actual paper, frame condition, ink saturation, and any aging or edge wear. Condition notes describe observable marks, foxing, deckle wear, or print aging in specific terms — not vague labels like "good." If a piece has a flaw that affects collectibility or value, we say so explicitly. Request additional close-ups before purchase.
How is the print packed and shipped?
Prints ship flat between two acid-free rigid boards inside a corrugated outer mailer with rigid corner protection. Larger prints over 24×30 may ship rolled inside a thick-walled tube with archival tissue. All shipments are insured for full value with tracked carrier service. Framed pieces ship in custom-cut wood crates with foam edge protection. Signature on delivery required over $500.
What documentation is included?
Original COAs, publisher certificates, third-party authentication letters, and Gauntlet Gallery condition reports ship with the artwork. Every piece also gets a blockchain-verified COA on Polygon via TrueCOA, permanently anchoring provenance. Specific documentation for each listing is noted in the product description.
Why buy from Gauntlet Gallery instead of a marketplace?
Marketplaces give access but leave buyers to judge authenticity, condition, pricing, and seller credibility alone. Gauntlet adds a trust layer through detailed photos, item history, condition notes, pricing context against 50,000+ market comps, fake-risk review, and blockchain-anchored documentation. Every listing is prepared by the same curator who sourced and reviewed the piece.
