The moniker of this print comes from the affectionate nickname for New Orleans. In 2008, Banksy painted the streets of the city with murals as a response to the ineffectual clean-up operation in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Hurricane Gustav was on its way, prompting a mass evacuation of the city – and it was with this backdrop that Nola first appeared on one of its street corners. A subsequent print was followed by special editions and artists’ proofs, of which the one with orange rain is one of the most sought after.

‘Umbrella Girl’ - 1098 Kerlerec Street, New Orleans

The original painting first appeared in 2008 in the streets of Louisiana during Banksy's residency in which he painted over 14 murals across the state. The 'Umbrella Girl' piece on Kerlerec Street, New Orleans, instantly became an icon and it is the only one still remaining.

Banksy

The most famously anonymous artist in the world, Banksy made the front pages when he auto-shredded Girl With Balloon during a 2018 Sotheby's auction. Known for his thought-provoking social commentary, Banksy's varied works include the Walled Off Hotel (with its view of the West Bank barrier), cover art for Blur's Think Tank album, and a gigantic graffiti piece about Brexit, in the UK port of Dover.
