No ball games was sprayed on a shop wall at the junction between Tottenham High Road and Philip Lane, North London, in 2009, but has since been removed and sold by the Sincura group in 2013, at an estimated £500,000, with the profits going to help disadvantaged children. It was taken down by the group as part of their controversial Stealing Banksy project. Many argued the works meaning would be lost by its removal, but also that a piece of the areas heritage would also be taken. Banksy condemned the groups removal of the work, saying in a statement “The show has nothing to do with me and I think it’s disgusting people are allowed to go display art on walls without getting permission.”
