The venue reported the theft on Saturday (January 26) and says that thieves with a van stole the door the night before, according to Reuters. The artwork was part of a series painted in Paris last June, which often also confronted the refugee crisis. Some were vandalised soon after they were painted; others were protected with glass screens, like the one painted late last year in Wales (which was recently sold for six figures). The Bataclan mural was thought to commemorate the November 2015 terror attacks on the theatre, in which 90 people were killed during an Eagles of Death Metal concert. “We are today filled with a deep sense of indignation,” reads a Twitter post from the Bataclan. “The work of Banksy, a symbol of contemplation belonging to all - residents, Parisians and citizens of the world - has been taken from us.” L’œuvre de @originaIbanksy hommage aux victimes du 13/11 a été volée. pic.twitter.com/FMHoobzRXm— Bataclan (@bataclan_) January 26, 2019Expand your creative community and connect with 15,000 creatives from around the world.READ MOREThese photos explore the ‘human, tender, gritty truths’ behind kinkThis zine shines a light on the shadows of Brighton’s teenagersDHLInside singer Sigrid’s intimate walks through nature with her fans In pictures: The playful worlds of Tokyo’s young subculturesDavide Sorrenti’s journals document the origins of 90s heroin chicMartin Parr on capturing the strangeness of Britain and its peopleIn pictures: The changing face of China’s underground club sceneFrom the grotesque to the sublime, what to see at Art Basel Miami BeachThese photos show a ‘profoundly hopeful’ side to rainforest lifeThe most loved photo stories from November 2025Catherine Opie on the story of her legendary Dyke DeckArt shows to leave the house for in December 2025
