Banksy posts video of £1m painting shredding stunt at Sotheby’s
Banksy has released a video showing how he secretly built a shredder into one of his paintings that self-destructed after it was sold for more than £1m. The framed Girl With Balloon, one of the artist’s best known works, was auctioned by Sotheby’s in London. Moments after the piece was sold, the canvas of a girl reaching for a heart-shaped balloon shredded itself.
