The ultimate example of 'performance art'

Anyone who lifted that frame knew immediately it was unusually thick and heavy. Quite a few people were involved in this charade.

The “art critic” added nothing to the video

This type of discussion is exactly why I love Banksy. Scam? Art? Inciting anger and/or excitement? To me, Banksy is a performance artist and master class troll. He's earned every cent just for entertainment value.

Love how most the people right next to the painting weren't even looking at it

Honest to got this cheered me up more than anything recently 😁

I am certain Sotheby’s had something to do with it! I mean they must at least have examined it once! It’s very hard to believe it!!! I don’t know if it is wise to sell these paintings tbh, it’s part of history now and seeing them in a private collection where 99.9999% of the world will never see, it’s just sad. Lost in the archive of some billionaire :(

It would’ve been better if it shred all the way. Then it wouldn’t be a “sculpture” anymore. I’m still with you though, I find it pretty hilarious. It just annoys me how the art world then turned it into something worth even more. Imagine explaining the message behind it to someone though. “Oh yeah so this is supposed to mock how people will spend millions on a piece of art. I paid 20 million for it.”

Jealous much?

EEvblog talks about how he made it and the BBC still gets it wrong.

The art world is full of pretentious sheep, who’re not actually interested in art, only the trending financial investment aspect; rich social status meaningless protocol. If art was financially and provenance worthless, what would you hang on your wall?

I think you're giving too much credit to a guy who shredded his own work

I disagree. Bansky knows exactly the value of this peice of art - all of is others: nothing. Why? They are all made from stencils. Location and the statement is what matters, not the material art itself. The fact he made multiple videos of shredding the exact same piece then put it up for auction to have it shredded again can lead to many interpretations. "I can make 50 of these in a day, sign them, and devalue ehatever that sop paid for it at auction" or "By shredding this one, you're buying something I consider worthless because it's now out of context, but congrats on the one of a kind piece." or "I'm doing this now, but if I put another piece up for auction, will it self-destruct or do something worse to the other peice in the gallery - maybe set off a fire alarm? Point: My work is dangerous to sell and do it at oyur own risk."

It is not sculpture!! Certainly this is design around publicity We don't know who paint this and we keep saying is him!! But how do you know? How about team of 20 people working on every single piece of art you see on street. How does that make it unique in any shape or form if you never seen how it is created nor seen the person behind it, nor you have any idea of anything about the team itself. So you dealing with the company not one person. I believe it when I see it painted specially if artist is still alive.

The auction house knew the shredder was in the frame and knew it would be good publicity

OK, this is the second video I've watched about the shredding and both are a bunch of stupid blah, blah, blah! What made the shredding begin? Was it activated by the sound of the gavel? By a remote control? What made it stop? why did the auction employees do nothing to stop the shredding by holding the canvas in place at the bottom? why did they begin to carry it off? Who bought the painting? How do they feel? What is the estimated worth now? So many questions, so much blah, blah...
