There are three Banksy pieces done in New Orleans that are little discussed because few saw them – a silhouette of a child playing a trumpet on the side of a house, a rat and a turtle in a helmet painted on a door. Likely, the door and the segments of wall were taken down to preserve the pieces. Though Banksy’s gallery work sells for five and six figures, selling his graffiti work has been harder because he refuses to authenticate graffiti work. The New York Times quotes a representative as saying:

“Banksy prefers street work to remain in situ, and building owners tend to become irate when their doors go missing because of a stencil.”
