Banksy painting "self destructs" after sell at Sotheby's

[servechilled81]

after the painting sold an alarm in the frame went off (i'm guessing triggered by a remote from someone connected to Banksy at the auction) and the frame started eating the painting

Super dope. Always surprises me with his antics.

Love this guy. So anti establishment. Seemingly at least.

Art should be experienced not owned

You act like Bansky is the one who hypes it. You don’t him, you hate his fans. I think he does too.

The shredded art is now worth double of its original offering.

Art market is such a huge jugg

This and supreme are two things i don't get the hype with.

1 mil actually seems like a good price for such an iconic original piece of art.

 

[wallyhopp]

Haven't read much into this. But was it sold by him or someone else? And also, this feels highly illegal. That's not what they bought.

Dude's lawyer fees have to be through the roof

I always wondered if he actually gets a cut of these painting they sell.

 

[Figured it out]

He probably gets a shred.....

 

[alchemist iq]

Brilliant!!!

Should have had something to disintegrate or burn it. So there was nothing left for the people to cling to

 

[sooperhooper]

If only i could sell my art for half of that. how did the auction even obtain that painting?

 

[servechilled81]

this is a really good watch

 

[skylondiggs]

Whoever bought that for 1 mil ain't throw hands?
