What happened with Banksy's "Girl with Balloon" artwork during an auction?
Correct answer: It self-shredded
Ynamfoeno
A half destroyed piece of art apreciated by 1400% for 3 years... What world are we living in
JanJan
just proves that some people have more money than sense
Blinky
Strange indeed! The artist as well as the buyers.
Judi
Ynamfoeno, some people have too much money

Ynamfoeno, What world are we living in where artists and sports stars are valued so much more than nurses and teachers?
Clidge
I don’t understand how that would even be legal.

friend, I remember the Red ballon.

A rare piece of art was sold, hilariously and immediately vandalized, then received a "first ever" added to its provenance. It's silly but my guess was it all went according to plan. This showed how ridiculous that entire industry can be while simultaneously profiting from it. Well done.

HippieJo, people have stolen his work in the past, by demolishing walls to get the art.I am so glad he did this. His work is for everyone to see not to be held in someone's private collection.

JanJan, Where I’m from we say they “have more dollars than sense”.
Arteria
yep, just like the rest of the art that is called that, like painting a large canvas all black...and then, THEY tell us 'uneducated' and 'you just don't understand it'...

Lorraine , I think Banksy is not one person but several people who are excellent at marketing
Mekon
So the value went up 16x in three years
HippieJo
I don’t think he put it up for auction someone else did it without his permission so it wasn’t a crime 🤯
